Sell to us
Sell your vinyl records
At WholelottaVinyl, we buy used vinyl LPs, 12-inch and 7-inch singles and whole collections from across the UK. We're based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, collect in person across the East Midlands, and welcome smaller collections by post.
We buy vinyl records and collections in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire and across the East Midlands. We come to you — we collect in person for everything. Based in the East Midlands, we'll drive in any direction, and the more records you have, the further it's worth our while. You get an honest, considered offer based on how many records there are and, above all, their condition — not a bulk weigh-in price.
Get in touch
Email us your list or photos at chris@wholelottavinyl.co.uk and we'll talk through your records.
Send us your list
chris@wholelottavinyl.co.ukInclude a list or photos of the records — sleeve fronts and label shots are ideal. We normally reply within one working day.
How it works
- 1. Send details. Email a list or photos of what you have, with rough condition notes if you know them.
- 2. We make an offer. The offer is based on the amount of records and their condition — one fair bulk price, but assessed in detail against what each record is actually worth, not a flat per-crate rate.
- 3. We come to you. We collect in person for everything. We're based in the East Midlands and will drive in any direction — the more records, the further we'll travel. Smaller collections can be posted to us instead.
- 4. Get paid on the spot. Cash, bank transfer or store credit — whichever you prefer, paid when we collect. If you post your collection, payment goes out as soon as it arrives with everything included from the agreed list.
What we're looking for
- Rock, pop, metal, punk, reggae, ska and everything around them — soul, jazz, indie, electronic and more
- Mainly LPs, but we'll happily take 12-inch and 7-inch singles too
- Records don't have to be complete — if the inners, posters or booklets are missing, we can still make an offer
- Records with intact inners, posters, lyric booklets or original inserts are a bonus and will earn more
Not sure how your records grade? Our grading guide explains the terms we use.
Prefer to consign?
Got a personal collection to part with? Consign your LPs with us for a fair 50/50 sales split. We do the heavy lifting, grading, and listing—you sit back and collect the profits. 🤘🎵
Same first step either way — email us your list and we'll talk through whether an outright offer or consignment suits you best.
Based in the East Midlands
We collect in person for everything — there's no need to haul crates anywhere. From our East Midlands base we'll drive in any direction, and the more records in your collection, the more it's worth our while, so don't worry about distance on a big collection. Smaller collections can be posted to us: as long as everything agreed on the list is included, payment is made as soon as it arrives.
Why sell to WholelottaVinyl
We're an independent, online-only UK record shop. Every record we buy is cleaned, graded by hand and listed with honest condition notes — so your collection goes to people who actually want to play it. You can browse the shop to see the standard we list to.
