Frequently asked questions
What is Rave Relics?
Rave Relics is an independent record store specialising in reconditioned second-hand electronic music vinyl, based in Geneva (Chêne-Bougeries). Online sales with pick-up by appointment and shipping within Switzerland and internationally.
How are the records reconditioned?
Every record is bought, cleaned and listened to before going on sale. Its condition is graded individually using the market-standard scale (Goldmine/Discogs: Mint, Near Mint, VG+, etc.).
Why reconditioned second-hand vinyl?
The Rave Relics story began with buying DJ collections and the desire to revive the golden age of electronic music from the 90s and 2000s. We also offer new records, but reconditioned second-hand — records checked and listened to, in a sustainable approach — remains our identity.
