How to shop vinyl records online (2025): Discogs, eBay

You can look for digital tags, genres and places at the top and I recommend that you are looking for something specific. It can be useful if you are trying to buy something from your hometown, for example.

As with all collectibles, you can find good offers (and random rips) on eBay. This is a good place to buy very rare and expensive things or on the reverse, very super cheap records that you are willing to bet on. I had good results by finding jazz recordings and other less beloved genre albums here, but if you are looking for something super specific, Discogs is better to track the market and find good prices.

Vinyl Me, please is a record club that allows you to buy one -time entries. I like this service because it presses rare one -off classics as well as modern records in all genres. People who work there have excellent taste, which means you have always sent a record that you are likely to enjoy. When I buy on-off, I like that these are exceptional pressures, which means that your friends are very likely to have this specific version of their shelf, even if they already have a record.

The people who remember the era before the stream will probably recall records of the tower that still exist! This is a great sound record store to check what comes out on Vinyl soon and look at pre-order versions as it is the main distributor of almost every major market edition. It may be the older fool in me, but if you have a little nostalgia from the 90’s, it’s fun to shop online at Tower Records and see what’s coming out on the hip new music.
