We Buy Used Records!
How It Works:
Are you looking to sell your records or old cassette tapes? Here at Academy we have a dedicated staff with years of experience in buying used records. Whether you have a personal collection amassed over 50 years, a handful of records you picked up at a garage sale, or some you inherited from a family member, neighbor, coworker, we guarantee to offer you the fairest and most honest price for them. Cash paid!
We are two of NYC's longest running shops, and we thrive by upholding our long standing reputation of paying the highest prices for used vinyl. You can bring your records to our East Village or Brooklyn locations 7 days a week, or for larger collections we are willing and excited to travel any distance in the tri-state area and beyond for larger collections. Genres we are interested in include, but are not exclusive to, are:Rock
Jazz

Reggae
Hip Hop & Rap
Disco
House and Techno
Avant Garde / Experimental

We also buy Music related ephemera and memorabilia!

Testimonials
“Had a really good experience with Academy and their purchase of my sister’s large vinyl Lp collection. They were certainly knowledgeable and made a good offer. They were courteous and professional, picked up all vinyl quickly and paid on the spot that same day. Excellent experience overall!”
“Best record store in NYC. Reasonably priced records... they also give you the best deal than anyone else in the area on selling or trading your vinyl in.”
“After much deliberation over how to sell my collection, I decided to have Academy come to my place to look at my records. They bought all of them, and they offered me more than I thought I’d get for it on Ebay! I didn’t have to go through the trouble of listing and shipping them, like I had done with my books, which was a long and arduous task. Wish they bought books too!”
