General Questions

Record Set Play (RSP) is the ultimate online marketplace for buying and selling brand-new, sealed vinyl records in the UK. Every vinyl listed — once sold — is verified for authenticity, condition, and variant, making it a trusted space for collectors and music lovers alike.

Sellers list their new vinyl at a price they choose. When someone makes a purchase, the seller has 2 business days to ship the vinyl using our label for authentication. Once verified, we ship it directly to the buyer. It’s a safe, transparent way to buy and sell records online. You can read more in our How It Works guide.

We accept all major debit and credit cards.

We only accept returns if a vinyl is inauthentic or not in sealed/new condition as described. If there’s a problem with your order, our Support Team will be happy to help.

Selling Vinyl

We make selling easy. Since our system already includes product descriptions and images, sellers just need to:

  • Select the correct variant of the vinyl
  • Ensure it's brand-new and never played
  • Drop it off within 2 business days of sale

That’s it — we handle the rest, including authentication and payments.

Yes, there's no need for a separate seller profile. You can list sealed records and manage sales using your existing account while still browsing and buying records from other sellers. 

Authentication & Condition Grading

Every vinyl sold is sent to our expert team, who:

  • Verify the exact catalogue number and pressing variant
  • Confirm it’s never been played and factory sealed
  • Inspect the condition of sleeves and inserts

This ensures buyers receive genuine, collector-grade records every time.

If a record is found to be used, opened, or an incorrect version, it will be returned to the seller, and the buyer will receive a full refund.

We only accept records that are:

  • Brand new and in mint condition
  • Factory sealed
  • Never played

Records that don’t meet these conditions won’t pass authentication and will be returned to the seller.
