I had a pretty disappointing experience at We Buy Records in Westchester, Illinois. I made an appointment, brought in six large boxes of vinyl, and was upfront about not expecting much in terms of a sale. The vendor was unhelpful and seemed annoyed by my effort, offering only $1 each for two records while turning down the rest. When I mentioned donating the records to a thrift store, he actually suggested I discard them completely and "put them out of circulation," which made no sense—especially since thrift stores are more than happy to take records!
I was even cool about it, joking that at least I was getting a good workout from carrying everything back to my car, but it felt like he just couldn't be bothered. It’s disappointing when a store that specializes in records doesn't appreciate their potential or think about how others might find value in them. I wouldn’t recommend this place, as the whole interaction lacked professionalism and consideration.
