From the reviews
Hitt Records in Columbia, MO, is a vinyl lover’s paradise—a true hidden gem for music enthusiasts of all kinds. Whether you’re on the hunt for a rare, hard-to-find pressing or a beloved classic, their carefully curated selection has something for every taste. The staff? Absolute pros.
Carefully curated collection of new, used, hard to find and collector worthy LPs and tapes. Large selection of jazz ranging from the late 1950s through the late 70s. Great atmosphere for a casual record pick or just hang out with the bar next door.
Hitt Records is a great place to buy, sell, or trade records. The selection is always good and the owners are awesome—super knowledgeable and genuinely care about music and the people coming in. They’re fair, easy to work with, and if anything ever needs made right they’ll take care of you.
Great record store. Tons of titles and other products. Friendly staff. Will gladly drive from Jefferson City to Columbia.
Selling or trading gear at Hitt Records
Hitt Records comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
