Looking for Vinyl Records – A Local Collector : Going to Good Home
QR Code Link to This Post
I’ve been collecting vinyl for over 40 years, ever since I got the bug working at a college radio station. I’m not in it to flip records online—I don’t run an ongoing store or booth. This is a personal passion. My collection lives in a dedicated listening room with over 12,000 albums, 45s, and 78s...and I’m always looking to add that one unexpected gem.
🎶 What I’m Looking For
I’m interested in entire collections, partial boxes, or even forgotten crates buried in garages, barns, attics, or storage units. I love:
Jazz (especially pre-1975 – Blue Note, Impulse!, etc.)
Classic & Psychedelic Rock
New Wave / Post-Punk (Cure, Bauhaus, Cramps, Joy Division, etc.)
Reggae, Ska, and Dub
Soul & R&B
Early Hip Hop & Electro
Classical (especially obscure labels, mono pressings, or boxed sets)
78 RPM Records (pre-1960 blues, swing, hillbilly, gospel)
Vintage Country Swing & Western (Bob Wills, Hank Thompson, etc.)
💵 What You’ll Get
Honest cash offers
I’ll drive anywhere in the OK/AR/Fayetteville and Bentonville metros (and beyond if it’s a big haul)
A guarantee that your records will be appreciated, cleaned, spun, and shared with the next generation
This isn’t a side hustle - although I do sell doubles at significant discounts to help other vinyl lovers start their collections. It’s a mission. I want to protect these records, digitize what I can, and eventually donate a portion of my collection to a historical archive or university. I even give some away to young collectors to keep the vinyl spirit alive.
