Second-hand vinyl & CDs in Saint John typically sells for C$6 to C$565 (about $4 to $405). Pressing and condition set the price together, and the sleeve counts for nearly as much as the disc. An original pressing in a tired sleeve often sells for less than a clean reissue, which surprises people.
Buying vinyl & CDs in Saint John
Saint John is an industrial port on a bay with the highest tides in the world, dominated by a refinery and shipping, with a preserved nineteenth-century core that survived the city’s decline. Fog here is a defining feature of the summer rather than an occasional inconvenience.
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 Saint John
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.
The uptown core is compact and hilly with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large. The city is spread around the harbour, so agree which side rather than assuming a short trip.

Industrial shift work runs on its own cycle and the older housing stock turns over with old contents. Damp and fog mean storage conditions matter more here than in most of the country.
Give the catalogue number and the year, since that is how buyers identify which issue they are looking at. Photograph the disc under a raking light so any marks are visible in advance rather than discovered on the day. Steady all year, with a clear lift around Record Store Day and again before Christmas.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
