Buying vinyl & CDs in Newtownabbey
Newtownabbey is a town formed from several older villages on the northern edge of the capital, running along the shore of the lough with hills rising behind it. It is largely residential and functions as part of the wider urban area.
A collection being cleared moves as a lot and goes to whoever can carry it away, since boxing and sending hundreds of records is barely worth doing. Turning up with a car is most of what secures the good ones.
What to check in person
Ask to hear a track if there is a deck to hand, because surface noise and a warp are audible long before they are visible. Lay the disc flat and sight across it for dishing, which no amount of cleaning will correct.
Collecting it in Newtownabbey
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
It is a set of former villages rather than one centre, so agree which area before anything else. Driving is easy and parking is straightforward throughout.
