Second-hand vinyl & CDs in Exeter typically sells for £3 to £300 (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 Exeter
Exeter has a cathedral with the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling anywhere, a university that dominates the north of the city and a quayside on the Exe that is the centre of local outdoor life. It is the regional capital for the south-west peninsula.
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 Exeter
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 quayside and the cathedral green are the landmarks everyone uses. The city is built on a hill above the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy; the centre itself has extensive pedestrian zones.

The university is large relative to the city and clears student housing every June, which is the dominant cycle. Outdoor and water equipment moves constantly given the moors and the coast either side.
Clean the disc and put it in a fresh inner sleeve before anyone sees it, because that alone lifts what people will pay. List every insert and say plainly if one is missing, and pack a collection into boxes light enough to carry. Steady all year, with a clear lift around Record Store Day and again before Christmas.
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
