What's on the wall
“A pleasurable experience, Andy set up a time to come to our home to view what we had and showed up when he said he would.”
What players say again and again
“He was very nice and gave me a good offer for them.”
“I felt that he was being truthful and was very knowledgeable the entire time.”
“My husband and I have been trying to build our vinyl collection but it can be so hard to find the albums/quality that we are looking for at reasonable prices.”
From the reviews
Pretty solid collection of records available, found a lot of cool stuff while browsing there. The staff really seem to know what they're doing and also very friendly whenever you need help. Check them out if you're into collecting and in the area!
Fantastic experience! I reached out via text on a Sunday, quickly received a response, and easily had a plan for Brian to come on Wednesday. He took his time going through the collection of over 600 records and offered great advice and honest reasoning for offers along the way.
I absolutely Love this Record Store! We are treated like Family with every visit. Today 4/12/2025 is Record Store Day and We were able to grab some great vinyls at some pretty amazing deals. We Buy Records Never Disappoints Us! Best Record Store in The City of Milwaukee.
It felt like a Christmas miracle stepping into this shop. My husband and I have been trying to build our vinyl collection but it can be so hard to find the albums/quality that we are looking for at reasonable prices.
Selling or trading gear at We Buy Records
We Buy 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.
