We Buy Records

I had a pretty disappointing experience at We Buy Records in Westchester, Illinois. I made an appointment, brought in six large boxes of vinyl, and was upfront about not expecting much in terms of a sale. The vendor was unhelpful and seemed annoyed by my effort, offering only $1 each for two records while turning down the rest. When I mentioned donating the records to a thrift store, he actually suggested I discard them completely and "put them out of circulation," which made no sense—especially since thrift stores are more than happy to take records! I was even cool about it, joking that at least I was getting a good workout from carrying everything back to my car, but it felt like he just couldn't be bothered. It’s disappointing when a store that specializes in records doesn't appreciate their potential or think about how others might find value in them. I wouldn’t recommend this place, as the whole interaction lacked professionalism and consideration.

Reached out online and was able to arrange for out-of-state purchase of a rare record. Arrived extremely quickly and packaged with care. Would not hesitate to be a return customer! Hope to visit if I make it back to the area.

Awesome record store. Has a great selection of used records and all in great conditions. All are priced extremely fair too! I highly recommend!

I was in today to sell a box of old records that was sitting in my garage. I had low expectations, but Andy gave me a very fair offer. Thank you so much!!!

I inherited a fairly large jazz LP collection from a relative. Wanted to sell it to get it back into the hands collectors, etc. Called Brian who came out the next day to review collection. Following day he made me a great offer which I accepted with a little negotiation. They paid well for my collection and closed the deal the following week. Wasn't sure what to expect when I started the process, but I'm very satisfied with my dealings with Brian. He's a fair, straight up guy!

We Buy Records has a diverse selection of records - hip hop, jazz, soul, rock, gospel, and so much more. Andy and Brian are passionate and knowledgeable. They are detail oriented when it comes to specific pressings. The store is a gem. If you live in the city of Chicago, it’s well worth a drive and your time.

I found 2 records I was looking for plus a couple unexpecteds at We Buy Records. The owners were so helpful and the records were reasonably priced and fair. This is my new go to spot!!

Found a rare treasure to delight my jazz-loving husband for Valentine’s Day! Thank you!

100000000000000000/10 stars absolutely fabulous store with excellent pricing, everyone who works there is really cool and passionate about what they are selling. Although I agree with the previous review about this being a hidden gem because it is. Really a Lovely store.

I REALLY don't want to blow up my secret spot for finding amazing gems at great prices but.... I just helped a friend sell their vinyl collection and couldn't believe how fair they were on the buying side. If you have records to sell, you need to check these guys out! Their grading system is on point, the prices they pay are fantastic and while I don't want to tell everyone my secret, they are such a great shop I have to mention the great selection and pricing they have. Thanks guys!

A very nice experience. Brian was more than fair in his appraisal of my album collection. He was generous, in fact.

Wonderful space and friendly service. I always find something I wanted for a long time at a reasonable price here. I got 3 Flamin' Groovies LPs and a Seeds 45 for less than $60! Talk about kick a**! Def will return here every time I'm headed down that way. PS there are yummy restaurants in this area too- do a Google and make a day trip out of it if you're not from the area, like me!

Brian is cool. For a young guy he knows his stuff. As a collector for 50 yrs I don't say that about many people. Fair pricing. Already bought some great stuff and will continue to do so.

Excellent experience. Offered extremely fair price. The owner came to our home to assess our modest collection. He was courteous and professional. Entire transaction took less than 30 minutes. I highly recommend.

Sold me records here and it was painless. The guys didn't put mer through the ringer and paid mer fair money. Easy, cool shop, and fair pricing. Hope you guys astr for a long time. Sahndobears buhrantu lubinderah and mote blessings upon this shop.

Gathered up a handful of Lp's and went in. Guy came out looked at them and told me he wanted something more distinct. I asked a few questions, and told him I have a large collection at home. I have been collecting for atleast 50 years. He was extremely rude, then told me he was going to go eat his lunch, and left me standing there. I know how it works, I do not need to be insulted by a know it all. I would rather give them away, then to give this company my business.
