Our Story

Dug from the
Source. Sold with Heart.

Tailgate Crates is a one-truck operation out of Burnsville, MN. Our records come from a single 40-year-old warehouse in Madison, Wisconsin — dusty, honest, and absolutely loaded with the good stuff.

We pull lots of 10–15 records and curate them by feel: classic rock that still hits, blues rock with real grit, and the occasional audiophile treasure you didn't know you needed. Priced fair. Condition honest.

We sell on Whatnot live shows and Facebook Marketplace — no gatekeeping, no jargon, no snobbery. If you love vinyl or you're just getting into it, pull up a tailgate and dig in.

"We're not a record store. We're a treasure hunt — and you're invited."
