Getting the best price in Los Angeles
- Look up your valuable titles first. Check sold prices on Discogs for your exact pressings — a shop prices a mystery box conservatively, but will pay real money for titles they can see are worth it. Our selling guide covers how to spot the valuable 10%.
- Get offers from more than one shop. Amoeba Music and Record Surplus may specialize in different genres — the same box can get very different offers.
- Ask for the store-credit price too. It typically runs 20–30% higher than cash if you'd spend it anyway.
- Don't clean records with household products before selling — dealers prefer honest dust to swirl marks. Grading matters: see how grading works.
