Second-hand vinyl & CDs in Windsor typically sells for C$6 to C$565 (about $4 to $405). The details in the run-out groove separate a first pressing from everything after it, and buyers who care will check them. Country of manufacture matters as much, with some territories’ pressings sought far more than others.

Buying vinyl & CDs in Windsor
Windsor sits directly across the river from a much larger American city and is the country’s automotive town, with assembly and tooling work that has run for generations. It is the southernmost city in the country, which makes its summers genuinely hot by Canadian standards.
Grading is a matter of judgement and two sellers describing the same disc as very good can mean quite different things. Seeing it yourself removes the argument that otherwise follows every distance purchase.
What to check in person
Tilt the disc under a light and look across the surface rather than straight at it, which is how you see scuffs and hairlines. Check the spindle hole for wear, and look at the sleeve seams and the bottom edge, where damp and shelf wear show first.
Collecting it in Windsor
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.
Driving is the norm and the city is flat and easy to move around. The riverfront is the obvious landmark; border traffic can back up the approaches to the crossings, so avoid arranging anything near them at peak times.

The automotive cycle moves this market as a whole rather than gradually — plant announcements change what is for sale within weeks. Tool and trade equipment is unusually good here because so much of the workforce is skilled.
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.
