ABOUT TOTAL TRASH
Total Trash is an independent brick & mortar record store located in Browne’s Addition, the city’s oldest residential neighborhood. We carry new and used LPs, cassettes, CD’s, vintage stereo equipment including turntables, receivers and speakers, pro audio gear, musical instruments including electric guitars, acoustic guitars, guitar strings, cables, and a variety of other instruments, music memorabilia, tees, and other very cool finds.
Total Trash buys used vinyl and musical gear. No appointment necessary. We are a full- service record store and we purchase across a multitude of genres and eras.
Records
We don’t have a set amount we offer on used albums; it depends entirely upon, condition, sealed or not, scarcity, the artist, pressing, local market, and a host of other things, both obvious and obscure. The highest prices are paid for copies in near mint condition, which may or may not apply to the records you currently have in your possession. Checking out recent used record sales on the internet reflects retail sales and not the amount that you will receive when selling to a store or a reseller.
First pressings by big acts, and misprints and pressings with alternate covers, greatly increase the value, if the copies are kept in pristine condition. You may have a gem in your basement or attic that you are unaware of. Rateyourmusic.com compiled a list of the most valuable records. Someone has these, it could be you.
Music Gear
We buy, trade, and consign vintage and newer high end audio gear. We are always looking for vintage turntables, receivers, amplifiers, pre-amps, speakers, tube amps, equalizers, silver face plate receivers, amps, and tape decks. We prefer brands such as: Marantz, McIntosh, AR, Pioneer, Kenwood, Fisher, Scott, Sansui, JBL, Technics, Thorens, to name a few.
Total Trash Records & sound buys, trades, and consigns new, used and vintage acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, amps, microphones, and effects pedals. We are always looking for brands such as: Gibson, Fender, Gretsch, Epiphone, PRS, 60’s and 70’s Japanese, Dan Electro, Music Man, Silvertone, G&L, and vintage acoustic Archtop. Please do not bring in chain store Christmas guitars or copies/imitations of the above listed brands, with the exception of Japanese copies from the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Sell Your Music Gear
Bring in the gear that you want to sell. Payment will be based on cosmetics, functionality, resale value, and performance.

Bring in your gear and we will both discuss and determine what is a fair price. When the item sells, the shop receives 30% of the final sell price.
Trade Your Music Gear
Please make sure that the gear you are trading is in good condition, works well and is worth your asking value. You can trade straight across for a specific item, apply trade towards a purchase, or receive store credit. Store credit may be applied to all or part of a purchase, converted into a gift card, or saved for future use.
Sell, consignment, and Trade Policy
Total Trash Records & Sound determines monetary value based on current trend and resell value. We do not use eBay or online sale/auction sites as a price guide, as these prices are not valid. We offer the fairest price available based on the local market supply and demand.
