Moving or Not, It’s Never Too Early to Declutter Your Space
CDs, Vinyls, Cluttering Your Closets and Your Garage?
I’ve been spending the past few months helping an older friend declutter, donate, and prepare for her move into a new home. Downsizing can be overwhelming, which is why I always recommend hiring a professional move manager to guide the process. However, if you—or your clients or friends—decide to tackle it on your own, the best thing you can do is offer support, encouragement, and resources along the way.
Yesterday, I discovered a wonderful place that buys and sells CDs and vinyl records, and I’ve added a few others to the list. If you live in another part of the country or world, simply search online for phrases like “Sell CDs” or “Who buys vinyls near me,” and you’re sure to find local shops.
Let me know how it goes or if you’d like additional resources—I’m always happy to share recommendations and contacts with agents, friends, clients, and colleagues.
These shops regularly buy used CDs/vinyl and typically pay cash (sometimes offering store credit as an option).
“We buy, sell and trade records and music memorabilia” — open daily; contact them to confirm whether they’ll pay cash or offer store credit for CDs. ( Tell Henry I Debbi Sent You )
Buys used CDs/vinyl and will pay cash (or offer ~30% more in store credit). Hours vary — check before you go.
Open daily; they explicitly state they buy collections and will appraise while open — typically pay cash.
Store open daily and they say they “buy used records every day” (they handle CDs/vinyl and will buy collections). Likely cash on appraisal.
Specializes in jazz LPs & CDs and buys collections — typically pays cash for desirable items.
These shops will buy used music but the payment method or whether they accept specific CDs can vary by genre, condition, and current inventory needs.
Longtime Bay-Area chain that buys used CDs/vinyl — payment may be cash or store credit depending on item and location policy. Check current hours before visiting.
Boutique label/store; will buy select items by appointment — payment method depends on the item and appraisal.
Quick tips before you go
• Call ahead with a short list of artists/titles — many shops only buy certain genres or will decline low-demand CDs. What they buy/take may change.
• Bring items clean and organized (no broken cases). Big collections sometimes are appraised and you get a call later (Econo Jam notes this).
• Ask whether they prefer cash or store credit — some shops (Amoeba) offer more value if you take credit.
