Buying vinyl & CDs in Lincoln
Lincoln is the state capital and home to the state’s flagship university, whose stadium becomes one of the most populated places in the state on game days. It sits on the plains with agriculture and insurance as the other main employers.
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 Lincoln
