About the archive
A personal crate, built on decades of records.
Crate Curator is run by one long-time DJ, producer, collector, buyer, and seller. It exists for people who want selected records from a person with a real track record, not a faceless marketplace or random bulk pile.
Selected stock, public history, and no mystery copies.
The archive is mostly electronic and dance-led because that is where the deepest experience sits: DJing, producing, collecting, buying, selling, and living with the records over decades. It is not genre-locked, though. Other music can make the crate when the copy, condition, and cultural weight justify the space.
Trust matters because vinyl buying is physical. Every listing is built around one unique record: the copy photographed, graded, priced, packed, and sold. The public seller history matters too: 2500+ reviewed Trade Me feedback from buyers who have already relied on the grading, packing, and service.
Crate Curator is intentionally smaller than a giant catalogue. The point is selected stock, accurate descriptions, real item photos, and careful packing, so the buyer can make a clear decision before the record leaves the crate.
