Factory Records is your one-stop shop for physical media and vintage audio equipment. Whether you're looking to sell or trade your old collection or discover new
favorites, we're here to help.
Sell Your Vinyl
We want your vinyl!
The process begins when you bring your records in Monday
through Friday for evaluation. We first separate records with
potential resale value from those that are not currently marketable. Condition is everything, so we carefully inspect both the album covers and the vinyl itself.
Records with minimal wear and only light surface scratches may qualify for a VG+ grade or higher and earn a place on our main sales floor. Records with heavier wear or more significant scratches may be placed in our bargain bins or our Madness
section.
How We Determine Value
If you bring in 100 records and 20 have resale value, we make an offer based on those 20 records. Our offers are based on three key factors:
Giving Records a Second Life
Our mission is to keep as many records as possible out of landfills. For more than five years, we've accepted non-sellable records and given them another chance through our Madness collection. If they still don't find a new home, we responsibly recycle them.
We separate the vinyl from the sleeves and package the materials for repurposing, giving 5,000 to 8,000 records a second life every month. Our long-term goal is to partner with a recycling facility capable of
processing tens of thousands of records each month and transforming them into
new, modern vinyl products.
CDs, DVDs & LaserDiscs
We follow a similar philosophy with CDs, DVDs, and LaserDiscs. These formats contain materials that can be reused in the manufacturing of other products, helping reduce waste while giving physical media a second life.
Please note that we are very selective when purchasing CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, and 7 inch records. You're welcome to bring them in for evaluation. If they meet our purchasing criteria, we'll make you an offer. If not, we're happy to accept them as donations so they can be repurposed or responsibly recycled.
