[9Box Music Collection Log] "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" That We Sang Together: Mr. Chen's Account of Parting with His Cherished Beyond Collection
In an era dominated by digital music streaming, where a tap of a finger grants access to a global music library, the tangible sensation of sliding a finger across a physical record sleeve and watching the stylus gently descend onto the vinyl grooves offers an irreplaceable warmth and authenticity.
Today, "9Box Music" shares a recycling story about the legend of Hong Kong rock – Beyond – and the youthful memories of a seasoned music fan.
Can't bear to throw them away, just want to find a "new home" for them with someone who appreciates music.
Last Tuesday afternoon, we received a WhatsApp inquiry from Mr. Yeung in Kwun Tong. Mr. Yeung, in his early fifties, is a devoted "Beyond superfan." The photos he sent showed a well-preserved vinyl record of "Rock & Roll" and a neat stack of over ten early classic Beyond CDs, including "Waiting Forever," "Arabian Dancing Girl," and "Goodbye Ideals."

Seller Information:
- Name: Mr. Yeung (55 years old, works in engineering)
- Reason for Selling: His home is undergoing renovation soon, and he's taking the opportunity to do a thorough "declutter." Mr. Yeung admitted that he switched to lossless digital players over a decade ago, his old record player broke down long ago, and these vinyl records and CDs have been gathering dust at the bottom of his storage cabinet.
- His Sentiment: "My wife originally told me to just throw them away as junk or sell them to any scrap dealer, but I really couldn't bear to. I queued up to buy all these when I was young, and each one holds sentimental value. I saw online that 'We' are specialists in music recycling, so I thought I'd entrust them to you. I'm not looking for a sky-high price; I just hope you can help these records find new owners who truly appreciate them, so good music doesn't end up as trash."
Professional Appraisal: Upholding the Value of Every Classic
Hearing Mr. Yeung's request, our appraisers immediately scheduled a time with him for a physical assessment. As we put on our gloves and carefully took out the "Rock & Roll" vinyl, it felt as if we were transported back to those glorious years.

This album, released in 1993, not only features the masterpiece "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" but also marks Ka Kui's swansong. It has consistently held high collector's value in the secondhand market. After careful examination, we provided Mr. Yeung with a detailed appraisal report for his collection.
【We】Recycled Product Appraisal Form
| Product Name | Medium Type | Release Year / Version | Condition Rating (Appearance) | Appraisal Description & Highlights |
| Beyond "Rock & Roll" | Vinyl Record (LP) | 1993 Original Pressing | VG+ (Very Good Plus) | Slight age-related wear on sleeve corners, no tears; record surface is clean, with only minor scuffs that do not affect playback. As a classic out-of-print vinyl, there is huge market demand, warranting a high premium for recycling. |
| Beyond Early Classic Albums ("Waiting Forever," "Goodbye Ideals," etc.) | CD (Total 15 discs) | Various editions from 80s-90s | VG to NM (Very Good to Near Mint) | Includes multiple early T113 silver ring editions and first-pressing CDs. Although some acrylic cases have minor wear, the CD playing surfaces are excellently preserved, and lyric booklets are complete with no missing pages. Bundled recycling significantly increases value. |
| Beyond Live Series (1988, 1991 Concerts, etc.) | CD | Live Recording Versions | VG+ (Very Good Plus) | Live albums capture Beyond's authentic stage charisma. Discs have no significant scratches, and sound quality tests perfect. |
Note: The above ratings follow international record grading standards (NM=Near Mint, VG=Very Good).
Seeing how seriously we treated each record and offered a fair price that far exceeded his expectations, Mr. Yeung gladly signed the recycling agreement. He smiled and said, "I feel relieved entrusting them to you. I hope the next person who gets them will continue to be moved by Ka Kui's voice."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Vinyl / CD Buyback
Q1: My records have been stored for a long time, and the sleeves are somewhat yellowed or moldy. Do you still recycle them. A: Yes, we do. Taiwan and Hong Kong have humid climates, so it's common for old records to show slight mold spots or yellowing. As long as the record's audio tracks haven't suffered severe, irreversible physical damage (such as deep scratches or severe warping), we have professional cleaning and restoration equipment to handle them and will still offer a reasonable recycling price.
Q2: I don't really understand versions (e.g., first pressing, silver ring edition). Will I end up selling at a loss. A: Absolutely not. We have an experienced appraisal team. We will personally (or through clear pictures/videos) identify the record's version, release year, and rarity for you, and explain the basis of the valuation, ensuring you receive the fairest market price.
Q3: Besides popular music like Beyond, do you accept classical or jazz vinyl. A: We comprehensively We Buy Vinyl Records and CDs of all music genres, including pop, classical, jazz, rock, electronic, and more. Whether it's classic Chinese music or original European/American pressings, as long as it's good music, we welcome it!
Q4: If I have a large quantity, do you offer on-site collection. A: Yes! If you have a large collection (usually more than 50 records), to save you the hassle of transportation, we offer free on-site appraisal and recycling services across Hong Kong.
