Selling a vinyl collection that belonged to a family member can feel overwhelming. There’s often a lot of emotion involved, along with the practical question: “What is this all worth, and where should it go?”
At Dutch Vinyl, we regularly help families and executors with estate and inherited vinyl collections in Melbourne, Brisbane and, for the right collections, across Victoria, Queensland and the rest of Australia.
How we can help
- We can visit the home for larger or more substantial collections
- We carefully go through the records and give you a realistic overview
- We make a fair offer based on what we know we can resell
- If it’s not a good fit, we’ll be honest and may suggest alternatives
What we look for in estate collections
A typical estate collection might include:
- Classic rock, jazz, blues, soul or folk from the 1960s–1980s
- Some rarer titles or original pressings
- Well looked after records, often kept on shelves
- Occasional box sets or classical recordings
We’ll explain which parts of the collection carry most of the value and which are more common.
How the process works
-
Initial contact – You tell us roughly how many records there are, where they’re located, and a bit about the person who collected them.
-
Visit or drop-off – For larger collections in and around Melbourne or Brisbane, we usually arrange a visit. Smaller collections can often be brought in or dropped off.
-
Appraisal & offer – We go through the records, assess condition and demand, and make a fair offer for the collection (or for the most valuable part of it).
-
Payment & removal – If you’re happy with the offer, we pay and carefully remove the records, leaving the space clear.
