Who is StereoBuyers?
StereoBuyers and Resolution AV are two sides of the same coin. We share roots, ownership, and a love of hi-fi. Adam started StereoBuyers in 1999 with a college idea, and in 2009 we launched Resolution AV to represent new hi-fi brands and design smart homes.
What does that mean for you? Decades of experience, and fair offers for your components or your whole system. Want to trade toward new gear? We can do that. Not looking for anything new? We'll buy your gear outright.
How to sell your gear
Three steps. Request a quote, we'll finalize the details together, and we'll find a time to pick it up and pay you on the spot. Outside our pickup area? We'll cover the shipping, help you get it to us safely, and pay you when it arrives. Ready? Get a quote or call 718-260-8948.
1) Request a quote
Answer a few quick questions about your gear and we'll email you an offer in a day or two.
2) Close the deal
Once we agree, we'll set a time to pick up your gear. Outside our pickup area? We'll work with you to get it to us safely, and we'll cover the shipping costs.
3) Pick up and get paid
In our pickup area, we come to you, pack it up, and pay you on the spot. Shipping instead? We'll pay for the shipping, show you how to pack sensitive gear, and pay you when it arrives.
Why experience matters
We've been buying, selling, testing, packing, and shipping high-end audio every day since 1999, long before vintage hi-fi became a trend. It started with a love for the gear, not a business plan, and that's still what drives us.
Over the years we've sold well over 100,000 pre-owned pieces online, from vintage amps and rare turntables to modern high-end components. That doesn't happen by accident. It takes trust, consistency, and doing it right every time.
Why people trust us
We've been here since 1999, and we're not going anywhere. That means trust, expertise, and a community of hi-fi lovers who know they're in good hands.
We know the gear
We've handled nearly every piece you can think of, personally.
We test and pack with care
Every piece is tested, and custom foam-in-place packing keeps gear safe wherever it's going.
We respect the history
Every piece we pass on should be ready for a second (or third) life.
We're personal
Not a faceless warehouse. You work with real people who love what they do and stand behind every piece.
Why people sell their gear
Out with the old, in with the new
We help people sell hi-fi and home theater gear so they can upgrade to something newer or better.
Moving
If your new home can't fit your gear, or you'd rather not haul it, we'll do the heavy lifting and pay you for it.
Scaling back
If you no longer have time to enjoy your system, or you need the room, we'll buy it back.
Needing cash
We can turn high-end audio components into cash quickly, and give you peace of mind.
Loss or divorce
During hard times, we've helped people sell equipment they no longer need, with care and patience.
Simplify your system
If your system got too complicated for your family or staff to use, we'll take it off your hands.
The speakers have to go
If those gigantic speakers need to leave the living room, we'll handle it delicately.
Broken or too costly to repair
We buy qualifying high-end audio and video gear that isn't working, so you don't have to deal with it.
