Voted best record store year after year by readers of NUVO Newsweekly and The Indianapolis Star. We are the premier independent record shop in Indianapolis, Indiana. Give us a call at 51.Indy CD & Vinyl is a member of CIMS, the Coalition of Independent Record Stores and a participant in the annual Record Store Day. You’ll get the best deal we can offer, given the circumstances of our LP stock at the time. We have a very well-earned reputation as straight shooters. We go by the 50+ combined years of experience we have to determine what any particular LP can be sold for. It all depends on who wants the record, when, and what that person is willing to pay that day. Items can be $20 on a Monday and $3 on a Friday. Selling prices are in constant flux due to demand, availability of reissues on CD/LP, etc. The internet has more-or-less rendered price guides useless. We don’t go by what any price guide says. Company checks only, no worries they’re as good as gold. If they are in some kind of order that’s just a bonus!.Make clear distinctions as to what you want to sell and what you don’t ahead of time.Steps that make this process easier for all involved: You’ll have to call to set up a time (51). Distance and scheduling factor into this. All vinyl needs to be in “very good” or “like new” condition. *Most* Comedy, Classical, Show Tunes, and 40’s-60’s Crooner LPs are a tough sell.Ĭondition is very important, and LPs need to have their covers (7"s and 78s often don't need 'em). We also like oddball records from TV, movie, baseball and game show personalities as well as Spoken Word records. But if you have a bunch of nice condition Rock n’ Roll, Reggae, vintage R&B/Soul, Jazz, Blues, Punk/New Wave, Indie, Hip Hop, Modern Composer/Avant Garde, Old-School Country and Folk music from all over the world, by all means, bring ’em on down. We wish they were, we would be retired, but unfortunately (for you) and fortunately (for them) they sold MILLIONS of records meaning there’s a lot of them floating around. Not all Beatles and Elvis albums are worth $1,000. Things to Remember When Selling LPs, 45s & 78s ![]() If we feel we can sell it and we don’t have it in stock, we are interested. True, a scuffed CD often plays fine, but to be re-sold with confidence, they must be visually perfect. If they are scuffed but we feel they could play, we pay 50 cents and throw ’em in our ever-popular "Buy 5 Get 5 Free" boxes. Most of our used CDs and DVDs sell for between 3.99 and 7.99, meaning we pay between $2.00 - $4.00 per disc. We generally pay 1/2 of what we think we can sell the item for, this is an industry standard. ![]() The cost of any necessary repairs WILL affect what we offer. These and more are all brands that we can have refurbished before we sell them. We like brands such as Technics, Pioneer, Bang & Olufsen, Thorens, Denon, Sony, Kenwood, Marantz, Yamaha, etc. We are always on the search for quality turntables, receivers, speakers, etc. We Also Buy Used Turntables, Speakers & Receivers records from artists and labels, tickets, posters, photos… anything and everything. And we are always interested in old Cincinnati and regional music items…. Yup, we are always looking for quality used LPs, CDs, DVDs (and even some books if they are in the range of what we already sell…that being weird pop culture, music, hip lit, bizarre bios, some art books, etc). ![]()
