Customer Testimonials
"I contacted Rat Records via the Internet to gauge if there was any interest in them purchasing my record collection. Tom contacted me and gave me some very helpful information regarding the value of the type of records that I was trying to sell and also as to the various ways that I could go about selling them. In the end we arranged a meeting which resulted in me selling around half of my collection to Rat Records for a fair and reasonable price. Throughout the process Tom proved himself to be both knowledgeable and fair in his dealings".

"Nice guy to do business with. He'll give you a very honest valuation of your collection, then come round and collect waving a fistful of cash. Struck me as a very genuine person, to the point where I have passed his details onto others."
Gary, Middlesex, October 2008.
"Sure Tom, I'm very happy to submit a testimonial : your approach & demeanour viz a viz selling skills I found faultless; prompt, decisive, focused, & assertive without being overbearing or pushy. I'll be in touch again soon."
Phil, London N10. January 2009
"I personally found you very experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had tried to sell my collection on many occasions and I found yourself the most honest also the most advisable. I would definitely trade with yourself again and would highly recommend."
Tony B, Herts, October 2008.
"Tom. Just a quick note to say that I never expected to enjoy selling my record collection, but you made the process a remarkably upbeat one. It was a pleasure to meet you, and I feel that the vinyl couldn't have gone to a better place. Many thanks for a very interesting afternoon, and for a fair price for the collection.
Doubtless I'll be in the shop in a few weeks trying to buy some of it back."
James, London, December 2009
I'd definitely recommend selling to Tom at Rat Records. We got a prompt response to our initial enquiry, and Tom took the time to explain his pricing system and the bigger context for selling second-hand vinyl. He was fair and professional when he came to assess our collections; we were very happy with the price offered and also glad that he was able to take non-resale items off our hands. All in all, a very good experience.
Catherine, Croydon, 2009
Hi Tom. Just to say thank you for coming over, viewing my records and purchasing a substantial portion.
As you say in your website, the whole exercise was painless. It was also exceedingly professional and I am very happy at the prices you offered. It was very interesting to see the differential rates for the records based on your assessment of their popularity. It is a very fair method for pricing an old record collection.
Its was a pleasure dealing with you and all the very best to you and your company.
Rozany, Kent, August 2009
Hi Tom. Great stuff! Im really pleased your happy with the records. I started collecting them 19 years ago and thought i'd never sell them, but things change! Im glad others will enjoy them though! Likewise been great doing business with yourself never thought i'd sell them all that quickly, thanks again. I will not hesitate to recommend you to others you want to sell.
Glenn, Devon, April 2009
Dear Tom, It was a pleasure to meet you and a pleasure to do business with you. I am glad that your customers are happy! I thoroughly enjoyed the process of selling to you and felt that you were very honest and honourable, as well as knowledgeable and charming. Thank you for helping me to make some difficult decisions - and for helping me let go of the past and move into the future. Of all the dealers I contacted, I felt you were the most fair and honest.
