Hi TomI have no hesitation recommending your buying skills.You were very helpful and willing to share your expertise in relation to the remainder of the collection. You made me feel at ease and confident that you would offer a fair price for the vinyls.Many thanks for your help   

Hi TomI felt it was fair the way that you worked out a cost; I was concerned I'd have a 'wheeler dealer' in my house and it wasn't like that at all! 

Tom Fisher from Rat Records made the sale of my records a very easy and rewarding experience.  Easy, because he agreed to take the entire collection away and paid more than I expected---and rewarding, because I know that someone else will continue to get pleasure out of those records.

I'm emailing  you to say how brilliant I thought you were! It was a pleasure and I hope you can make a nice profit on them, its good they have gone to a nice home. 

Like many people I had quite a large collection of Vinyl LPs sitting doing nothing in my loft for many years gathering dust. I did spend quite a large amount of time putting some of them on eBay but found that it was extremely time consuming and often I didn't get as much for the record as I had hoped.

I then had the good fortune of coming across the Rat Records website. I contacted Tom and sent a random list of some of the titles I had. He replied almost immediately and came out to view them the next day. He then offered me what I considered a very good price and took them away.

I can only thank Tom for the extremely quick and professional way he dealt with me and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to dispose of their record collection.

Having narrowed down my options , I approached three different buyers to sell my 700 CDs and 70 remaining vinyl records. I chose Rat Records and I�m glad that I did .

Whilst there was not a huge disparity in the initial pricing indications, from the speed and clarity of the first response through to the organisation of the pick up, Tom Fisher was head and shoulders above his competition.

As I have said, it was a pleasure doing business with you.  You were courteous and business-like (a difficult combination to get right, which you do, so top marks there).  You made the process simple, explaining what you were looking for as you went.  I felt that you were giving me a good price for the records that you bought.

Thanks Tom,It was a pleasure to deal with you. 

I was more of a "glad to" than a "can't bear to part with" seller of my son's Dance, Funk, House, Jazz, Soul, Techno Vinyl Collection.  That said, I enjoyed dealing with Rat Records and with you personally as the face of the business. 

I confidently and happily recommend Rat Records to others based on the fairness I experienced as a seller.

You made the whole process of selling our record collection both enjoyable & informative. It was a real pleasure to deal with you and so nice to find someone who spontaneously took the time & effort to explain the thought process behind each valuation. I am sure that you make the buying process as enjoyable and that our records will find good homes through you. I'm more than happy to recommend Rat Records, and indeed have already done so to several friends. Many thanks

I had a couple of hundred records to sell and I was swayed to go with Tom of Rat Records because of his very professional and honest approach. May they go on to a better home!

Dear Tom,

Here are some words for use as, in the quaint words of the adverts you used to find on the inside pages of the News of the World would put it, an 'unsolicited testimonial'.

In a fit of downsizing and after much soul-searching I decided to finally do something with my records. I wanted them to go to loving homes, and after a good deal of internet research contacted Rat Records. To say the least I was happily surprised. Not only was there a real response from a real person, but that person (Tom) came and looked at the records and took them away to be passed on to others - and he even paid me a more-than-reasonable price for them. I would recommend Rat Records to anyone.

Dear Tom, It was an educational experience having you check through and choose some of my LPs to buy. I thought you were professional, efficient, informative, speedy, and of course it was very convenient that you could do a home visit to value and take away.

Hello Tom. Apologies to your wife for tearing you away from your holiday and appreciate your coming out of your way. You beat me to it as I was intending to write to say thank you. It was a strangely pleasurable evening - sad to see decades of memories going but glad I chose you to sell to. You know your business well and gave me a very fair price. It is good to know that valued records will be passed on to people who will appreciate them.You may quote me and I have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

Tom certainly knows his stuff. He made the emotional wrench of losing 40 years worth of collecting much easier to bear. A week later I am completely over it and looking forward to the next chapter.

I thought the whole process off selling my collection was very stress free and i appreciated the time you took to explain the buying process and why the values of each lp and single was what they were. I thought the price you offered was very fair and appreciated that you took an interest in the whole collection and not just parts of it.Thank you again for coming to check out the collection.

Following the death of my father and my mother subsequently moving home, I unexpectedly found myself in possession of my father's extensive record collection.   After a lengthy process of compiling a list, categorising and storing the records it was clear that I had neither the time nor the space to honour my father's collection going forward.  I sent the complete list off to 6 record buyers that I found on the internet and Tom at Rat Records was the first to reply.  After a brief correspondence requesting further details on the condition of the records Tom returned my list with his estimated prices and an in depth explanation around record buying in general and the justification around his estimates.  This information was both enlightening and informative.  I agreed to sell the collection to Tom and arranged a date and time for him to come round.  When he arrived I left him to have a good rummage through the records and when finished we agreed a price that was at the top end of the range he had originally estimated.  He also took away the records that he did not think would be big sellers (which didn't come as any surprise) and saved me a trip to the tip. Tom was great to deal with and made what I thought was going to be a bit of a headache, into a quick and easy operation.
