That's the idea behind Common Groove — a shared love of vinyl that started as a pop-up concept rooted in the South Shore. Through rotating markets, events, and setups, we've been bringing the record shop experience directly to the community, one crate at a time.
Every pop-up is different. Same love of vinyl, same fair prices, same obsessive eye for what makes a pressing special. And soon, a permanent home where the groove never stops.
Got records to sell? That's what we're here for. We buy collections of all sizes, from single rarities to full basement hauls.

Ready to Sell Your Records?
We come to you — reach out and we'll set up a time.
We're not a faceless reseller. The people buying your collection at Common Groove are the same people who'd talk your ear off about pressings and labels for an hour. We know what records are worth — and we pay accordingly.
No lowballing, no marathon appraisals. You'll have an offer quickly, and there's never any pressure to take it.
Good Records Deserve Good Homes
Your Collection Lives On
When you sell to Common Groove, your records don't disappear into a warehouse. We hand-select, clean, and price everything ourselves, then bring it back to the community at our next pop-up.
Your collection becomes the next digger's obsession. That's the whole point.
We Want It All.
