Hyde Park Records pays top dollar for your used CDs, LPs, 45s, DVDs, VHS & stereo equipment. Used product keeps our bills paid and our doors open, so we want to make sure that our selling customer is well taken care of and will come back often! Check below for a price range and what type of things we might be looking for.

We're also very interested in large collections - here in Chicago, across the USA - heck EVEN THE WORLD! If you have a large collection that you'd like to sell, email us or give us a call and we'll give you an idea of how you can get the most money for your collection.
Compact Discs: We'll consider buying any used CD, so if you have some to sell it's best to bring them in to the store for us to have a look at. We pay the most cash for CDs that are current "hot selling" titles or hard-to-find or out of print CDs that are sought after and collectible. These guidelines include such a wide range of titles that it might take a little bit of time for us to come up with a price for you, but be assured that we're giving you the most we can pay - and we're sure it'll be better than other local shops. We pay a certain percentage of what we'll be selling the disc for, so we might pay you $1 or $6 or $20! It all simply depends on what you have and it's condition. If you have a great CD that's not in the best condition, we'll usually make you an offer for it - but it will only be a percentage of what a good condition copy might fetch. We do ask that your CDs include the case and front and back cover art.
LPs & 45s: Records are a little bit trickier than CDs. There are SO MANY different records from all over the world - some are worthless, but some are worth a fortune! The factors involved include cover & LP condition, label type, pressing version & more. The record collecting market changes everyday & music styles change fashion at a rapid pace. Something that was worth $100 last year might not be worth $20 this year, but something that was worthless last month may be worth $500 today. We've paid $500 for records, but we've also paid $.25 - it's a wide margin. If you have some records and you'd like to get an idea of their value, email us or give us a call - we'll do our best to give you the best information possible!
DVDs & VHS: We pay great money for used movies - known and unknown. These items seem to go in and out of fashion in the blink of an eye. With large rental stores such as Blockbuster & Hollywood selling their old stock used, we're now inundated with scores of popular titles. And the VHS tapes are getting harder & harder to sell! Bring down your collection or gives us a call and we'll let you know how much we're paying for what - we're also good at making suggestions of where you can take the rest!
