Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Will you still acquire records in poor condition (e.g.,damaged sleeves,mold,scratches). A: Yes,we will. Hong Kong's weather is humid,so it's normal for records to have some mold spots or yellowing; we see it often. Although condition affects the price,if it's a rare first pressing or out-of-print edition,it still has recycling value even with flaws. You can WhatsApp us photos first,and we'll take a look.
Q2: Are there any regional or quantity restrictions for the door-to-door recycling service. A: We offer door-to-door service in Hong Kong,Kowloon,New Territories,and Macau.

Q3: Besides 80s/90s Chinese pop vinyl,do you acquire other types of records or audio products. A: Yes,welcome. We mainly acquire 80s/90s Hong Kong and Taiwan pop vinyl,but we also acquire classical,jazz,Japanese audiophile pressings,anime OSTs,and classic European/American vinyl. Additionally,old CDs,cassette tapes,and used audio equipment are within our recycling scope.
Q4: What are your pricing standards for recycling. How do you ensure fair and reasonable prices. A: We grade according to the international Goldmine Standard and refer to actual transaction prices in the second-hand market.

Q6: How do you determine the value of a vinyl record. A: The value primarily depends on several factors: edition (first pressing,re-pressing,limited edition),condition (state of the disc surface and sleeve),rarity (number of copies issued and market availability),and the popularity of the artist or album in the collector's market. For example,first pressings by artists like Leslie Cheung,Anita Mui,and Teresa Teng are always in high demand,and their prices are relatively higher. Feel free to send us photos for a free appraisal.
