Prices are good for used vinyl, and quality is generally high. CD prices and quality are great. The owner is easy to work with, if you are interested in selling. He recently closed a store in Mint Hill, which was my favorite store. The Matthews store is good, but lately it doesn't look like the stock has been replenished. I've never been to the Charlotte stores, so I can't comment. read more

Great shop, one suggestion, the adhesive on the price tags directly on the covers is a bit harsh, gotta something easier to take off out there, still 5 stars for selection read more

This was one of two record stores I wanted to stop by while visiting family in Charlotte. I went to the one at south end. Really cozy little place. It is a bit small but not really an issue if it isn't jam packed with people. They had a decent selection of records in the heavy genres and I ended up finding three records I'd been wanting so I consider that a win! I would have liked to check out the larger store at north end but I was on a bit of a time crunch. Maybe next time I'm down in NC. Prices weren't bad. I also bought a shirt. There was only one guy working but he was nice. 5 stars from me! read more

A good selection of records from a variety of artists, with a focus on classis rock.. The store is nicely arranged and the owner was easy to chat with. They even have cassettes and a few 8 -t racks. The prices are reasonable. read more

Check your record before buying it and driving all the way back to your house in rush hour traffic! I got a ZZ Top record inside a Whitney Houston album cover. Yuck! Not my cup of tea. read more

This team is amazing! They're kind, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable! They were able to come help assess my dad's comic book and music collection when we needed them most. read more

I had the best experience selling records to Hardy Boys Records and Comics. I contacted Dean about selling and he responded quickly and set up an appointment to meet. He was honest and completely up-front about how much he pays and the process behind it. I have sold lots of music over the last 25 years and this was easily the best experience I've ever had. Definitely run out and support Dean and his two shops. He is the type of person who you want to do business with all the time and the type of business that should be treasured in the community. read more

This a cool little "shop"... It's actually rented space inside a 2 story building that sells new and vintage products, so kind of like an antique store. It's on the second floor, so if you feel like you're in the wrong place keep looking or ask the cashier up front. Onto the records.... Hardy Boys has a very well curated selection of of mostly classic rock with a few small runs of other genres. But if classic rock is your thing you'll find very nice copies of The Beatles, Springsteen, The Stones, CCR etc all in 3 millimeter sleeves at very reasonable prices. While there I picked up a copy of The Psychedelic Furs "Talk, Talk" for only$4 and The Flying Burrito Brothers for $14 which I believe were priced slightly under common market value. The covers are not mint, but both had glossy vinyl that played without problems. If you go on Saturday the owner is typically there and chatting with the customers about music and collecting. Definitely a cool vibe.... I would keep this place on your Charlotte radar as new collections come in frequently read more

Awesome honey hole for comics and collectibles. Dean the owner and his two sons keep the store well stocked and rotated with inventory. Your sure to find something you love here. Shop local! Support small businesses! read more

They have an amazing inventory including a lot of hard rock and metal that I've never seen elsewhere "in the wild". Price-wise they seems to pretty much stay close to if not a little under prices you're likely to find online and on Discogs. They are definitely in my "Rotation" now of spots to dig for vinyl to add to my collection! read more

It was a pleasure doing business (selling a treasured collection of LPs) with this father and sons business. I highly recommend them!

With vinyl resurgence at an all time high, prices are through the roof, therefore, I am easily satisfied when a record store has "fair" prices these days. Not to much to ask? Hardy Boys Records is so much more than a good record shop with fair prices, in this era, it's better than we deserve. If your looking for a record a store where 1. Prices are more than fair 2. Records are accurately graded 3. Vast selection of all genres....do yourself a favor, walk upstairs of Homestyles Gallery, and experience Hardy Boys Records. Take advantage of the ability to gain a membership, knowledge of vintage equipment available for purchase from the owner, and the ambience of good music playing in the background on Saturday's. read more

Really a delightful little corner on the top floor of a lady-centric craft boutique. It's just a little space but stuffed to the gills with vinyl treasures. The stacks are well curated and the prices are fair. Found some choice stuff digging the crates including Prince, Echo and The Bunnymen, Parliament, Queensryche, Psychedelic Furs and a 1956 Hank Williams pressing that was only $2.50. Surely something here for every taste. read more

Hardy Boys has a nice selection of records at very reasonable prices, including several bins of budget records. While there is nobody manning the booth throughout the week, the owner is friendly and easily contacted through social media. read more

Awesome place to not only by records but hang out as well. You can try out the record before you buy, play their NES, or just sit on the couch and look out over Mint Hill. Always a fun place to go! read more

Cool project with a dad and his sons, providing a no filler used record offering. Cool t-shirts too, will be in my record hunting rotation moving forward! read more

I recently moved to the area from Denver, CO and I was in search of a reliable source for great vinyl albums. Through word of mouth, I was turned on to the Hardy Boys Instagram feed. Dean is a stand-up guy who values quality over quantity and his storefront is a perfect representation of that. The used vinyl I've purchased from him has been accurately labeled and priced accordingly. He has a great eye for classic rock, metal, r&b, funk, jazz and all genres in between. Most importantly (and perhaps most detrimental to my bank account), he's always sourcing out new collections, so the inventory is fresh and constantly turning over. CLT has an incredibly supportive vinyl community and I appreciate you welcoming me with open arms. Cheers on the new space at Home Styles Gallery! read more

What a nice surprise driving back from the vet's office today. Nice, clean area of the shops upstairs and very good selection of vinyl considering the small space. Picked up some Dire Straits, Emerson-Lake-Palmer, and several others. Noticed a David Gilmour solo album in the offerings. May have to pick that one up on my next trip. Give this place a try and remember to shop local. Peace. read more

Good collection of vinyl and equipment in a convenient location. Dean is great to deal with

Best record store in the Charlotte area. Lot of great metal and rock with great prices!

Great inventory, very well priced. A must-go (over and over) for anyone that buys used vinyl. Something for everyone here and a great addition to Mint Hill! read more

I have sold some records and bought many from here. They offer a good selection of new and used vinyl and even some CD's, which I love to see. I will definitely be back soon and I am so happy there is a record store in Mint Hill now. Dean, the owner, is always really kind and helpful. Prices are very fair. Check it out for sure. Happy record hunting! read more

I love this place! I've been following Hardy Boys on Instagram for awhile now, and was excited that they opened up this little shop in downtown Mint Hill. It's a nice space, well organized, with a wide variety of music at great prices. Most importantly - every record I purchase is in great condition and clean. Highly recommended for both the experienced vinyl collector and the novice! read more
