HAVE STUFF TO SELL?

“I WANT TO SELL MY VINYL RECORDS. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?”

First, we recommend calling the store first as we are quite selective about what we buy. Our vinyl buyers are available Mon-Sat: 11 AM–5PM & Sun: Noon–4 PM. Call 585-244-1210.

“I HAVE A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINYL RECORDS. WILL YOU COME TO MY HOUSE TO LOOK AT THEM?”

PLEASE CALL THE STORE AT 585-244-1210 AND ASK TO SPEAK WITH THE VINYL DEPARTMENT.

“I WANT TO SELL MY USED CDS, DVDS OR BLU-RAYS. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?”

We accept CDs or DVDs for evaluation from Monday to Saturday between 11 AM and 5 PM, and on Sundays from noon to 4 PM. The final price we offer depends on the artist, title, condition, and stock. Additionally, we only purchase items with their original artwork and case. Unfortunately, we cannot provide price quotes over the phone. Additionally, we require a valid New York State license or I.D. to buy your items.

“I WANT TO SELL MY VHS OR CASSETTE TAPES. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?”

Feel free to bring the items in for us to take a look. Another thing, please keep in mind that these items are sold in the store for $3, so they are not going to bring you a lot of money.

“I WANT TO SELL MY STEREO EQUIPMENT. WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?”

Do you have any stereo components that you no longer use? We purchase used turntables, receivers, CD players, and more. We buy, sell, and repair all types of audio equipment. Feel free to bring in your audio gear anytime the store is open. Additionally, if you have something heavy, like a console or large speakers, amps, etc., it’s best to call us in advance at 585-244-1210 to speak with an audio specialist.

WHAT ABOUT NON-MUSIC ITEMS?

“DO YOU BUY VINTAGE CLOTHING?”

Sorry, but we do not buy vintage clothing. At this time, our store is a privately curated collection.

“DO YOU BUY / SELL MUSIC MEMORABILIA?”

Record Archive is the best store in town to sell your music memorabilia, from vintage concert t-shirts and posters to collectible toys and ephemera. Indeed, It’s the place to go!

“DO YOU BUY VINTAGE FURNITURE?”

Certainly, we want your furniture! Firstly, please send pictures of your items to MA**@***********VE.COM. We will get back to you if we are interested.

“HOW MUCH DO YOU SELL USED CDS AND MOVIES FOR?”

Most of our used CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays are sold for $5 per disc every day! Box sets are priced as marked. First, call the store to check if we have a particular movie or CD in stock. If not, we are happy to special order it for you if we can.
