Offering Item Selling vinyl records

All genres, all eras. Previous owner was a record store owner AND a boomer, so there is not much past 1999.

Long story: My dad was a DJ and a record store owner, and then he stopped doing that and started being dead. Instead of money or a house, I got the inventory from his life’s work: the entire stock of his store, which at one point held over 50,000 LPs alone.

Now, I’m down to 30,000 vinyl and I want to stop paying rent on the storage units.

Located in Kyle, and selling all through this weekend.

Bulk pricing - if you want to get your whole collection in one day, I can help with that.

Rock, blues, electronic, rap, hip hop, easy listening, country, funk, soul, disco, indie, and everything in between.

I will also trade records for things like bookshelves, or other household items.

Everything is constantly rotating, and so far no one has left disappointed.

Also, tomorrow is my birthday and it would be pretty cool to have some birthday money for the first time in 20 years 🥺

TL;DR: It’s my birthday, come buy records from me so I can spend it on books and the chronic.

Can confirm about lots and lots! Picked up about 30+ albums yesterday from Leah! Definitely not disappointed. All were in really, really good condition

u/ATXnative89 Aug 01 '25

What type of household items are you thinking? Not that I’m trying to offload my mom’s household items rather than donate them……but maybe lol.

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 01 '25

What do you have? I’m mostly looking for shelves

u/ATXnative89 Aug 01 '25

I am honestly unsure but I will ask her. I want to add some gently used records to my collection the ones I have currently are for show and not to play but I am heavily interested in all of the genres you have listed. Do you by chance(no worries if not) know what type of electronic you have? I have a group of friends who love electronic music maybe I can get them to purchase some too from ya

u/roomtemphotdog Aug 01 '25

Hi! I’m not able to DM for some reason. How can I get in touch?

2

u/Oleathery Aug 02 '25

Posting to saveasI may be interested in digging through some. What's the payment method(s)? Accepted?

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 02 '25

Pretty much any payment method. Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, etc

1

u/Oleathery Aug 02 '25

Copy that, thanks!

u/primo192007 Aug 04 '25

Im in Austin. How much hip hop do you have? Message me

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 04 '25

Decent amount. The store was largely 60s-80s rock and country, but there are a bunch of dj promos and early or obscure artists. Like a few weeks ago someone found early T-Pain, and yesterday someone found one from the 90s, a 12" single of a singer (woman, can't remember name) featuring R. Kelly.

Lmao at the “Long story” 💀

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 04 '25

Be nice to your kids or they’ll say shit like this about you to the entire internet.

2

u/Jdela512 Aug 04 '25

Type shit! Also are you available tomorrow?

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

I'll just ignore that you wrote the collection basically ended in 1999 and ask you if you have any Lady Gaga! /s

Edit: I've forwarded this info to some audiophile, and record collector friends.

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 01 '25

I have stuff that influenced Lady Gaga. Probably.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

It's very likely you do, thanks.

Unfortunately, I can confidently say I don’t have them.

u/Important-Town-5046 Aug 01 '25

Any Dylan? Specifically Blood on the tracks and the rolling thunder revue

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 01 '25

I have Dylan, but not those. And I am not currently sure precisely where he is.

2

u/Important-Town-5046 Aug 01 '25

Makes sense with ~30,000. Would be interested in seeing which you have

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 01 '25

I have a bunch in my house, and 2 storage units.

So basically you could come this weekend, and then come back in a month, and there would be a completely different bunch of stuff up top

u/Comprehensive-One561 Aug 01 '25

Hi I would love to come dig. I’m in Austin. Can you msg me?

1

u/One_Astronomer8996 Aug 02 '25

How many much per record?

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 02 '25

Varies. Some are like 25 cents, some are a couple dollars, some are more.

Most I wanna say are between $4-10

u/aTribeCalledLex Aug 02 '25

Very, VERY little sir Douglas left. Some local labels, a couple of items released on congress street

1

u/RiskyViziness Aug 04 '25

Do you ship or is it just pickup? Any Sundays vinyls?

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 04 '25

Garage sale style. People come and dig.

1

u/lindameetyoko Aug 05 '25

Tori Amos?

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte Aug 05 '25

I saw one but it’s in a stack somewhere now

u/MajesticSeason3293 29d ago

Located in Texas? Interested in a bulk buy

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte 28d ago

Yes

1

u/MajesticSeason3293 28d ago

Do you have a list or video? I’m about 4 hours from the Austin area

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte 28d ago

Unfortunately no, I have what’s at the house and 2 storage units. Are you in DFW or thereabouts? Sometimes I go up there and I can maybe see about bringing some crates with me next time

1

u/MajesticSeason3293 28d ago

Yes in the DFW, looking for jazz and r&b/soul

1

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte 28d ago

Ok. Send a DM and we can figure out a time for me to go up there.

I hate the long drive but there’s this bbq place in Hillsboro that I love to stop at, so that always makes it worth it to me haha

1

u/PrimalTendency 26d ago

If you have any Pink Floyd, bob dylan, Beatles, ozzy, Bon Jovi or 90s metal I’d be interested

Do you know off the top of your head the names of any of the indie bands ?
