Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Vinyl Record Buyback Information
1. How do I determine if my "The Smiling,Proud Wanderer by The Two Yips" is a first pressing or a re-issue. First pressing vinyl records usually have specific matrix numbers engraved in the dead wax area. Additionally,the paper quality of the sleeve,the saturation of printing ink,and the record label logo of 80s first pressings are significantly different from recent re-issues. Our appraisal experts will provide a free vinyl record authenticity and version identification service for you based on these details.
2. My record hasn't been played for years and has slight mold or dust. Can it still be bought back at a top cash. Yes,it can. Audiophile-grade vinyl record care indeed requires a professional environment. If you find slight mold or dust on your record,please do not attempt to clean it with improper chemical cleaning agents,as this may damage the grooves. Please hand it over to us directly. We have professional ultrasonic record cleaning equipment,and slight dirt will not significantly affect the final buyback quote.
