Frequently Asked Questions: Regarding used record buyback and Preservation

Q1: My old vinyl record is moldy,can it still be bought back. Yes,it can. Although mold affects the condition,professional Hi-Fi record cleaning machines can handle some minor mold spots and dust. Do not wipe it yourself with chemical solvents or rough cloths,as this may cause permanent scratches to the grooves. It is recommended to let us conduct a professional assessment.

Q2: What type of vinyl records fetch the highest buyback price. Typically,Hong Kong pop music from the 70s to 90s (such as first-pressing vinyl records of superstars like Leslie Cheung,Anita Mui,Teresa Teng,and Michael Kwan),classic audiophile classical music,and limited or out-of-print vinyl records fetch the best prices in the second-hand market.

Q3: Do you offer at-home used record buyback services. If you have a large number of second-hand vinyl records,or a collection that includes large CDs and old cassette tapes,we offer a convenient at-home used record buyback service with on-site appraisal and high cash payments,saving you the hassle of transportation.
