We Buy Records in the Greater Milwaukee-Area and Beyond!
We’ve been buying & selling record collections in the greater Milwaukee-area for over 25 years – long before the shop doors officially opened. In this time, treating our customers with respect and fairness by being honest about the value of what they have has remained our highest priority. We will always be up front with you when we know you have something special, and offer a fair price for your collection no matter what.
Looking to sell your used vinyl records to ACME?
Acme makes it easy to sell your records without worrying about being underpaid.
How we’re different:
- We pay higher than the industry standard for all records
- We pay even more when we know you have something rare or collectible (even if you weren’t aware!)
- Our prices are based on individual record value no matter how big your collection is (in other words: we will never give ourselves a bulk discount)
Community is important to us. Buying and selling in-person is a top priority.
– ACME Records
We don’t buy low to flip high online.
How much can you sell used records for at ACME?
You can expect to get up to 50% of what we plan to sell the item for (industry standard is 20-30%). If you have a particularly valuable collection, we’ll pay you even more. Other shops say they pay the most for used records. We actually do it.
If you’re interested in store credit, we offer a special premium for those who sell to us. Out with the old, in with the new.
