HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EXPECT?
Our offers can vary as widely as our diverse selection. Generally speaking you can expect $1 to $5 per LP for desirable titles in excellent condition. $10 and up for many rare records and less than $1 for common, mainstream and hard-to-sell titles and desirable titles with wear to their covers and/or vinyl. Our prices are based on desirability, condition and pressing. Feel free to call one of our buyers directly at (206) 632-5483 or email us for more specific information regarding your collection. In the meantime we hope the following information will answer some of your questions:

WHAT DO YOU BUY?
We purchase LP's, CD's, DVD's, select 45's (with picture sleeves) and select 12" singles and cassettes. Sorry but we no longer buy 78's. Here are some genres of special interest to us at Jive Time:

Classic Rock
Heavy Metal
Punk & Hard Core
Post Punk & British New Wave
Psychedelic Rock
Progressive Rock
Japanese, British and German Imports
Vintage Bootlegs (Vinyl Only)
Jazz & Blues
Soul & Funk
Disco LP's & 12" Singles
Hip Hop LP's & 12" Singles
Avant Garde & Electronic Music
Reggae & select World Music
Pre 1960 Country & select Folk
Production LP's & Sound Libraries

PABLO CRUISE? BARBRA STREISAND?
Pat Benatar? Foreigner? The list goes on (and on) but it's inevitable: Even the best collections turn up some very common and hard-to-sell albums. With some exceptions the following categories of music are relegated to our 50¢ and 99¢ bins: soft rock, top 40, easy listening, post-1960 country, big band and classical LP's. Expect less than 50¢ for many titles within these categories. These budget bins will also include many desirable titles with wear to the vinyl and/or their covers.
