* If you leave items at the store to be assessed, you must be available to be contacted, and we reserve the right to dispose of any unclaimed books and records after a period of 1 week if we are not able to get in touch with you (we have a small space and cannot store things for long periods of time). All trade credit notes are valid for one year from time of transaction. Record credit notes can be used to purchase books or records. Book credit notes can be used to purchase books only.
Due to COVID-19 Protocols Millpond is not currently buying or trading lps during open hours. Please read the info below on how to go about selling or trading your lps.
1) Used Vinyl : Please email us a list, we’d be happy to chat about what sort of records you are looking to part with. Albums and jackets need to be in excellent shape to be considered for purchase. If we are interested in the lps we can arrange a time for them to be dropped off before we open. Please email or call us to get in touch. 519-623-4050 / info@millpondrb.ca
2) Used Cds can be accepted as a donation, they need to be in excellent shape to be considered for resale, so that being said any titles we cannot use we donate to our neighbourhood YWCA Thrift Store. Used cds are not big sellers these days, but this system prevents them from going in the landfill if you are looking to make space and part with them. If you have a higher end cd collection such as box sets, or specific genres such as Metal, Jazz & Hip-Hop these can be considered for purchase or store credit. Please email or call us and let us know what you are looking to part with and we can go from there. 519-623-4050 / info@millpondrb.ca
3) Cassettes: Same deal as used CDs, but looking for tapes that are nice and clean and still function!
Shipping: We are able to deliver curbside,to your door, or by package, depending on your needs. just call us at 519-623-4050 to inquire about special delivery or pickup options.
