Years ago I bought several CDs here, two of which were hard to find at that point. More recently I bought two original pressings of vinyl records I was looking for.

About six weeks ago, I drove 30 minutes to the R&R Graveyard to sell my vintage LPs from the 1960s…read moreand 1970s - about 25 classic albums, some with distinct original features. Craig, the owner, told me he'd pay about $125 for them. I thanked him, and said I would try to sell them on FB marketplace or elsewhere first, but might come back. Craig said fine. However, I was unsuccessful on social media, and so about 10 days ago, I went back to the store, after checking with their staff that Craig would be there that day. However, he was not there when I arrived, and so I agreed with Cyril to leave all my albums with a detailed note, including my email and phone #. Cyril said he would talk to Craig, and he'd get back to me in a day or two. After three days and no contact from them, I started calling. I tried at least a dozen times over a week, and they never answered the phone and their mailbox was always full. NO WAY TO REACH THEM. Frustrated, I went back there this past Saturday at personal inconvenience, only to speak again with Cyril in Craig's absence. He told me that Craig had looked at my albums, and was now not interested. The albums were sitting in a corner in a back room with my note on top. I don't have a problem with him not being interested, though it's curious why he was interested at first. The big problem is that he was SO discourteous and neglectful, and didn't show the respect to send me a two-sentence email or make a one-minute call to tell me so. Those albums would have sat there forever until I came back for them, and that's just BAD customer service, and outright disrespectful. I was trying to help him by bolstering his inventory, and I did what his staff suggested (leave the albums), trusting they would show the common decency of reconnecting with me. But no, this level of respect was apparently beyond them. I would not recommend that anyone do business with someone who treats his good-faith suppliers in such a shabby way.

We visited this place during a rainy Sunday brunch outing because we both love arts, crafts, and…read moretrying new experiences. We went in almost completely blind--we hadn't spent much time reading reviews or doing a deep dive into the website. We had simply heard about it through word of mouth and decided to trust the recommendation. Making a reservation online earlier in the week was quick and straightforward. The website even included nearby parking recommendations, so we parked in a garage within walking distance and made our way over. Easy to find building on a corner. When I booked the reservation, I initially thought it was strange that there wasn't a deposit or class fee required upfront. Once we arrived, though, it all made sense. Rather than paying for admission, you select the candle you'd like to create, and the price is determined by your choice. We arrived just a few minutes before our reservation time as were fighting through the windy rainy storm, and I noticed many of the smaller, lower-priced candles had already been picked over. Everything still appeared to be within the price range listed on the website, but it was something I noted. Personally, I was hoping to walk away with a smaller candle because I'm trying to minimize my candle collection--we can't really burn them around our pets and I have way too many. However, I completely understand the pricing. You're paying for both a custom-made candle and a guided lesson from a local small business, thus I felt the cost was reasonable. Once the class began, the staff walked everyone through the process with clear instructions, suggestions and helpful demonstrations. One detail I especially loved was that there had been a book filled with inspiration ideas and the story of how the business came to be. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel more personal. Throughout the class, the instructors circled around the room, offering suggestions and answering questions. Since I'm definitely not a fragrance expert, I can't really speak to the overall scent selection from a master perfumer's perspective, but I did find it a little difficult to create a blend that matched my personal preferences. For reference, some of my favorite fragrances are Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum by Viktor & Rolf, along with sweeter Bath & Body Works candle scents like Champagne Toast and Black Cherry Merlot. Many of the fragrances leaned more toward elegant, natural, and scents you would light to entertain at home. They smelled nice and high quality, but they just weren't quite the bold, sweet fragrances I tend to want. I ended up using mostly Blueberry Cheesecake with a blossom scent mixed in. Unfortunately, they were running a little low on the other fragrance, so my final candle ended up being primarily Blueberry Cheesecake. I'm usually not into food scents, but I found that to be the sweeter option I was looking for. After pouring our candles, we waited for them to cool in an adorable lounge area with complimentary light snacks and refreshments. There was also a cute photo area and displayed products from local makers. I was tempted by one of the charm bracelets they had for sale. The shop also offered additional candle products and gifts if you wanted extra items. When our candles were ready, they were carefully packaged in cute bags for the trip home and included an aftercare pamphlet with burning instructions. It was funny -we went across the street to grab lunch at the Mexican restaurant when my friend received a phone call from the studio. They realized she had accidentally left her fragrance oils sitting on the table without adding them to her candle. The staff apologized profusely for not catching it during the class and reassured her that it could still be saved by adding the fragrance afterward and we could pick it up. My friend wasn't upset at all. She felt she had simply gotten distracted during that portion of the class, and she also uses a Cochlear Implant with stronger hearing on one side. Since the instructor was moving around the room while giving directions, it's entirely possible she missed that particular instruction. I really appreciated that the staff noticing the mistake after, reached out immediately, and resolving the issue to make it right with customer focus. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend it as a fun, creative outing for different occasions. The customer service was attentive, the reservation process was easy, and the instructors made the class understandable for beginners. While the fragrance selection wasn't perfectly aligned with my own scent preferences, I still enjoyed the experience and think the pricing is fair for a custom candle paired with a hands-on lesson.

OMG hold the phone right there even with an MSRP this is the best you can do? I recommend other stores in the tristate area as the competitors sell booster boxes around $140. I get times are tough but this store is now scalping the community especially those collectors who use the secondary market for return on investments who own more than enough copies of a certain card. I can not recommend this store to anyone and will not be shopping here ever again unless things turn around with their prices.
