What customers say

Just wow, I'm really impressed with this store. 🛍 First of all, the service was very friendly, knowledgeable and easygoing. 👏Secondly, their stock is astonishing; I found what I was looking for and some more. I walked around a lot, took some pictures, and ended up buying three vinyl records and one CD. 💿🎸.

These guys are great! Very friendly and easy to deal with. Nothing I buy from them ever skips and most of the vinyl is in exceptional condition. They have a nice selection to choose from and always have new offerings. They even buy records and gave me a more than fair price on some classic rock doubles I had.

This store is super cool! It seems that everything that you’ll find here is used but, it’s at great prices. The store owner is a really nice guy and gave me a great deal as well. I purchased all the CDs and DVDs in the picture below and 3 CD racks all for only $100. I couldn’t thank the owner enough for this!
