Record Buyers We Trust in Other Cities
We get asked regularly if we know good vinyl buyers in other cities — people looking to sell a collection who aren't in the New York area. These are shops and buyers we know personally or by solid reputation. All of them buy vinyl directly from sellers for cash.
Milwaukee, WI

Direct vinyl buyer based in Milwaukee covering all of Wisconsin. They buy vinyl records, CDs, and cassettes — house calls available for larger collections throughout the state. Run by Andy Noble, a serious collector and DJ with deep genre knowledge across soul, funk, jazz, and rock. Fast evaluations, cash paid on the spot.
Chicago, IL
We Buy Records Chicago
Vinyl-only buyers operating out of Westchester, IL and buying throughout Chicago, the suburbs, and statewide across Illinois. House calls available for collections of any size. Run by Andy and Brian — direct buyers, no middlemen, cash paid immediately. One of the most active vinyl collection buyers in the Chicago area.
Detroit, MI
People's Records
A Detroit institution. People's Records has been buying and selling vinyl in the city for decades, with deep roots in soul, funk, R&B, jazz, and the kind of Detroit-specific catalog that's hard to find anywhere else. If you're selling a collection in the Detroit area, these are the people to call.
Minneapolis, MN

Minneapolis vintage shop that buys vinyl records alongside clothing and collectibles. Good option for Twin Cities sellers with mixed collections — records, memorabilia, or full estate lots. Straightforward buying process, cash paid.
San Francisco, CA
Groove Merchant Records
Long-running SF shop with a reputation built on rare soul, funk, jazz, and international pressings. Groove Merchant buys as well as sells — if you have a serious collection in the Bay Area, they know their stuff and will give you a fair read on what you've got.
