Ultrasonically cleaned records for just five bucks. Hear the difference! We built the record bargain bin we always wanted. Each and every "VG" (very good condition) or better record for sale is ultrasonically cleaned. We ship with care and use record-appropriate boxes. All records are re-sleeved with both a new rice-paper inner and plastic outer sleeve. We ship media mail, with tracking. And, to ensure the vinyl's safe arrival, we ship the record behind the jacket, inside the outer protective sleeve. Ready to start your listening journey? Download the Five Buck Bin app now and browse our online store of ultrasonically cleaned vinyl!
