Second-hand vinyl, first-hand joy
Records worth the crate-digging.
Wax & Wane is a small shop of used and reissued records — soul, jazz, post-punk, and whatever else turns up in the estate sales. Everything's been played, graded, and priced fairly by hand.
New arrivals
Freshly graded and shelved this week — one copy of each, first come first served.
A shop built from other people's collections
We started Wax & Wane by clearing out a neighbor's basement — three hundred records, one good turntable, and a lot of questions about pressing dates. Six years later, most of the shop still comes from estate sales, trade-ins, and people who are finally letting go of a collection.
Every record is played end to end before it goes on the shelf, graded honestly, and priced so it actually sells. If a copy isn't good enough for our own shelves at home, it doesn't go on yours.
