Amoeba Music, the country's biggest and best independent Record Store, is inviting San Diego residents to bring their unwanted LPs, CDs and music collections to our Record Round Up at the King's Inn the weekend of Oct. 23-25.

We're bringing buyers down from our stores in San Francisco and Los Angeles to meet folks in San Diego and create a convenient way for area residents to get top dollar in cash for all resellable items. Sellers may also opt to get even MORE in credit for our stores or shopping on Amoeba.com.

HOW IT WORKS:

Sellers may bring in any amount of CDs or VINYL formats (including LP, 12”, 45s and 78s), and buyers will inspect and evaluate each item, add them all up and make a cash offer! Only items in playable condition will be considered for purchase. Prices offered vary widely based on title and condition and the retail value; see below for a list of most sought after genres**. Valid government-issued I.D. is required for all cash transactions.

Sellers can bring us their stuff anytime between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the first two days of the event and up until 4 p.m. Sunday, and we will happily help you unload and bring in your used vinyl and CDs. We are also open to buying any original music and concert posters. Our buyers are friendly, fast, efficient and will work hard to keep your experience fun and as quick as possible.

It's EASY to sell your collection. Whether it’s those “hard copies” that are taking space on your shelves, a collection or estate of a family member, or your own personal collection, we can pay you cash on the spot and bring those records back into the world for another generation to enjoy! Skip the three-hour drive to L.A. and liquidate your unwanted records and CDs without leaving town.

We look forward to meeting you in San Diego!

Friday to Sunday, Oct. 23-25, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closes at 4 p.m. on Sunday)

At the fabulous KING'S INN at 1333 Hotel Circle South, San Diego, CA 92108

**We all have our own faves and know musical taste to be very subjective, but strictly from a resell perspective, here is a very general list of the more and less valuable genres:

Genres that generally carry a higher value include: classic rock, pre-’80s jazz, soul, R&B, funk, hip hop, African, Brazilian, 20th century avant-garde & experimental electronics.

Genres that tend to fall in the “common” to lesser value range: most classical, pop vocal (Streisand, Neil Diamond, Mel Torme, etc.), ’80s country music, lounge.

You very well may have some hidden gems among all genres, and we’d still be happy to review your buy, but please note that we cannot offer much for common records from these genres.

Please Note: Those who have considerable collections may be able to arrange for buyers to come see them at their homes or storage spaces. Simply fill out this online collection form or call (323) 245-6400 for more information on how to sell us a large collection.
