They had a dollar bin, and I found a good amount versus just 1 like most places that even have cheapo bins anymore.

I've always enjoyed supporting local businesses, but my experiences at Culture Shock were deeply…read moredisappointing, and I would advise others to avoid it. The owner, especially the gentleman with dreads, came across as insincere and unprofessional during both of my interactions. I brought in a crate of valuable hip hop records to sell, as I needed to cover a last-minute bill because I was the sole caregiver for my grandmother that had dementia, so her hospital bills were stacking up. I explained this to him, and I shouldn't have, but I didn't think he would take advantage of my situation. Despite showing the clear worth of my records--including a sealed original "Marshall Mathers LP" valued at over $200--the owner offered just $300 for over 50 albums of similar value. As a collector with over 20 years of experience, I knew this was a shockingly low offer. Needing the money and with other stores closed, I reluctantly accepted, but I felt completely ripped off. Later, the owner came to my home to view more records. He spent two hours carelessly disorganizing my collection, then made another unreasonably low offer. When I declined, he became aggressive, raising his voice and accusing me of wasting his time. His unprofessional conduct in my own home was appalling. I captured the entire incident on camera and seriously considered posting it, as his behavior crossed every line of respect and professionalism. Ultimately, he offered just $230. The next day, I sold the same records to Toad Hall for $1,400--over six times what Culture Shock had offered. This stark difference shows just how unfair their pricing is -- both buying and selling. While the owner's wife seemed polite, the owner (Skyler) behavior was entirely unacceptable. He clearly only values customers willing to accept unfair deals, and without his wife, I doubt this business would survive. After spending thousands of dollars here over the years, I can confidently say I will never return. If you value fair treatment and professionalism, take your business elsewhere. Toad Hall treated both me and my records with care and offered fair prices and they sell for reasonable prices as well and have a much better collection -- something I did not experience at Culture Shock.

Even better, the owner (Don) is himself a treasure. He knows his trade very very well, and he is incredibly outgoing and kind. He lost his beloved wife a few years ago, and he has dedicated space in his store to benefit the hospice organization that cared for his wife. This is exactly the kind of store and business owner you want to support, and you will be blown away by what you find when you walk in. This is about a 2-hour drive from my home in Chicago, and I will definitely be going back as often as possible.

The sales associate started out fantastic…read morehowever, when I didn't like the coloring of the shoe she had in stock she seemed annoyed with me. The shoe she picked had an off white sole which looked dirty to me. I work in healthcare and the last thing I want is a dirty looking shoe. She made us feel bad for how much time she had taken with myself and my son. She had already ordered a different style shoe for my son at a different location and seemed annoyed when I asked for a different style as well so I stuck with the one she had in stock. I later went back and exchanged the shoes for the one I wanted. I didn't need the shoes in March or April and just tried them on to "break them in" for work later this week. THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG SIZE!!!!! So now, I have a pair of shoes that are a size too big and won't honor the original size I ordered because "it's been too long." Really?! I'm not asking for my money back. Just the size I should have gotten in the first place. I know I'm a nobody to this business and this review won't make a difference but it is frustrating when you try to stay with a "Mom and Pop Shop" to help them out and this is what you get.
