Used to be my favorite record store on the planet. Sitting in my car on RSD 2026 at noon after…read morebeing told it would be 2 hours before I can get in because these dopes are allowing only ONE customer in at a time. Madness. Completely ludicrous. I have been going to RSD for YEARS and to stores much smaller than this and never encountered this level of terrible customer focus. If you don't want to do RSD right, DON'T F'ING DO IT AT ALL. Never coming back.

Such a neat spot!!…read more It was hard for my mom and I not to spend hours and hours here. The only reason we didn't was because I was wearing my baby and he was starting to meltdown for nap time. The selection is great. And the organization is honestly amazing for a used bookstore. I love pretty close, so this is a dangerous discovery. Can't get over the prices! My only qualms with the store come from the service; the woman checking us out was wildly unfriendly.

The books are so affordable and it's so hard to leave an entire basket full of books. There are a ton of Hidden gems. It's a great way to slow down and get away from the noise of the outside world.

Greatest record store around. The staff are great guys, very helpful. One of them sparked a…read moreconversation with me about one of my fav bands, t rex, we talked for a bit, he gave me really good info on some records I didn't know about, and then as I continued to shop, he put a trex album on in the store. I shop here often but, just a nice story for those looking for a great place to get your music and possibly make a few friends. Also found just what I was looking for at a great price, I never leave empty handed. Shop at everybody's records.

The prices are also fantastic. I found every single thing I was looking for and a couple of bonus items as well. I will definitely be back and recommend this store to everyone who's looking for music!

Customer service is something to be desired here…read more Constantly, when I'm at the store, to look at their products behind the counter, I get an attitude 9 times out of 10. Just today, I told them I was finished looking and thanked them. Completely ignored. I said "okay" and walked away. The ladies behind the counter began to laugh. Pretty sad that I'm treated as such when I spend a good amount of money at this location.

This FYE location is probably one of the better ones in the area, but that's not saying too too…read moremuch. They seem to have a slightly better selection of music than usual, but I have noticed that the section has been shrinking in recent visits. I have the same issue with the pressures to join clubs and sign up for things at checkout here that I do with other locations (I won't go on my rant again, if you want to hear it refer to my previous FYE reviews). That will always be my biggest problem with any of these stores. In the off chance I don't get the harassment at checkout I take note and really appreciate it. Seeing the direction these stores have been taking lately I can't see them being around too much longer, especially the locations in the more dying malls (like this one in Tri County). In the meantime I'll continue to attempt to patronize them..and regardless of my issues I'm sure I will really miss them when they are gone.

Here is another review I could swear I'd done already…read more I've been dealing with FYE since around 1998 when I lived in Florida and they opened a store (with video arcade!) near my house. Since they were in the mall, they were expensive. You expect stores in malls to pay extra for rent, etc., correct? I was amused by the "100% used guarantee" stickers on the DVDs and CDs traded. That's easy to guarantee that they were used. I suggested that they change the stickers to "Used, with 100% guarantee" but that still didn't make the point. I guess blank stares are what people on minimum wage do best in Florida. I saw a lot of them. Okay, so you're making your own right at this moment? Yay! I'm consistent. FYE, in my experience, runs great manager's special sales. When things aren't moving, they drop the price drastically, and you should buy it then, and don't look back. My first time at this location, they had some 3D movies for $19.99, which was about $20 cheaper than FYE, Best Buy, or even Walmart. You generally have to shop there regularly to spot those deals. Employees at this location are sometimes incredibly friendly and other times, very quiet. Does Tri-County Mall do that to a lot of employees? I see that across stores.

Came across Parker's while trying to kill some time waiting to meet some friends for lunch in…read moreMilford. I'd have to say overall I was impressed. Now first off, there are a lot of records here..a whole lot..they're completely stuffed into the bins that stretch up and down the length of the store. There is a huge amount to go through here. I would have to say that how stuffed all of these bins are with records makes it pretty difficult to browse. And if you're looking for anything past the 70's or 80's era..this isn't the place for you. The guy working there the day I was there..who I assume was the owner..was very personable and was quick to ask if I had come there because of their website or not. Apparently the store's website catalogues this plethora of vinyl and allows you to search for specific titles you may be looking for. He was very adamant about wanting to show me their site before I left so that I could know how to navigate through it and find any specific titles I was looking for in the future. I appreciated the info and it did seem to be a lot easier than trying to browse through this crazy collection. I still spent some time looking around and was able to find a title that I had been looking for. Prices here are on the higher end for used vinyl, but they really do put a lot of effort in only offering records in the most prestine condition. Most records are even graded on their condition and it's listed on the price tag. I was satisfied with my purchase, with the level of customer service I was provided (by someone who obviously know a whole lot about vinyl), and was impressed with the immense collection they had. I will definitely take the owner up on the option of searching their website for anything I might purchase here in the future. That way I can walk in and have my selections waiting for me..instead of having to search for hours to find records that they could have or not.

An interesting little shop on the edge of Milford. The owner is super into 45's and spent most of…read morethe 45 minutes I was there telling me story about buying and selling them, and about how he was recently robbed of several dozen rare ones. He apparently does 80% of his sales via his online store, and mostly sells the 45's. I hate flipping through 45's but there are a few rare ones I'm after, and lo and behold he had one and it was a reasonable price. I flipped through a bunch of the LPs there. Many of the shelves are so packed with records that you can't even physically flip through them, a huge pet peeve of mine. The LP stock is nearly all 50s-80s material, mostly in the classic rock, jazz and soul formats. He also said he would be selling the store and retiring soon, and that a new owner was buying all the LPs and opening a new record shop in the same location. It will be interesting to go back in a few months and see what's become of it under the new ownership. All in all a decent record shop. It didn't align with my tastes overall, but for those most interested in classic rock or old soul/R&B 45s, it's definitely worth a stop (or a search on their website).
