Our Story

We opened our Roselle store in 2016, but had been selling vinyl and other audio wonders for several years online and at shows in and around Chicago. Since opening a physical store, we have offered an eclectic and ever-evolving selection of used and new media. Customers from around the world have visited Record Wonderland, which is a short drive from both O'Hare Airport and Woodfield Mall.

We Buy Records!

Record Wonderland is always buying good quality LPs! Bring them during regular store hours, or give a call if you have questions - 847-306-1290. We will travel for large collections! What do we buy? We tell everyone that we buy what we think we can sell. Right now, that means rock, jazz, blues, soul and hip hop, along with high-quality classical and audiophile LPs. We try to keep a diverse inventory, so we will consider other genres too, if they are in nice condition. We are mostly focused on vinyl LPs at the moment, but we will consider 12-inch singles, 7-inch 45s, as well as reel to reel tapes if the genre and condition is right for us. What do we avoid buying? Anything damaged or in unusable condition. Most 78 rpm records. Most big band jazz and easy listening. We will look at CDs and cassettes, but we are very selective about our purchases in those formats. How much do we pay? It varies by piece, but we make competitive offers on items we can use.
