How to increase the buyback value of your vinyl records.

  • Retain all accessories: Original lyric sheets,accompanying booklets,and even period promotional flyers can double the buyback price.
  • Proper storage methods: Be sure to store vinyl records vertically,avoiding horizontal stacking which can lead to warping. Warped records will significantly decrease in buyback value.
  • Keep the cover dry: Hong Kong's climate is humid,so it is recommended to use specialized moisture-proof bags to protect the cover and prevent foxing. This is crucial for appraising the value of "first press" editions.
