Second-hand vinyl & CDs in St Johns 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 St Johns
St John’s is the oldest European-founded city in North America, built on steep streets above a narrow harbour, and its economy has run on fishing and then on offshore oil. The weather here is genuinely severe — fog, wind and rain in quantities that shape how everything is stored.
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
Check the inner sleeve, the inserts and any poster are actually present, since those carry a real share of the value on a collectable title. Look at the labels for spindle marks and water staining, and confirm the disc matches the sleeve.
Collecting it in St Johns
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 downtown streets are steep and narrow and parking on them is limited, so for anything large agree access before the day. Weather closes roads here more often than in most of the country, so agree a fallback.

Offshore rotations move households on fixed cycles and the oil sector’s ups and downs move the whole market at once. The row-house stock downtown turns over with genuinely old contents attached.
Grade the disc and the sleeve separately and say which grading you are using, because a single word covering both tells a buyer nothing. Photograph the label and the run-out groove if the pressing matters. 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.
