Inside, they have a nice space with a good amount of used and new records to sort through. Everything is organized neatly by genre and artist and prices are very fair. All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming as well. Definitely stop by if you are in the area and in the hunt for some records to buy! read more

I live five minutes away and drive by here every day on my way to work but have never stopped in. Decided to today on my day off and so glad I did. It's a great hole in the wall business packed full of great records. I only got two but could have gotten a ton more. They have a huge selection of so many genres at great prices. This will definitely be a regular place for me. Shop Local!!! Oh yes, and the guy at the counter was extremely friendly. read more

Always a great spot to find some hidden gems at good value. They will also flatten and clean your records at a fair price. (I meant to write "flatten" and not "press" records in my prior review.) read more

Vinyl Record Dude - 180-gram audiophile social distortion vinyl record - Vinyl Records Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Great selection both old and new records, many genres. Best prices in the valley I feel, for the used and vintage records. You can find many for under $10, and several $10-20 range (where other shops you can't even touch anything vintage for that), so very fair pricing and that's what makes them stand out. I also really like their vintage 45 record section which is organized nicely and alphabetized, makes it easy to search (not a pile of random ragged discs in a box on the floor like other shops). Overall, very fair prices and good condition. Popular albums sell very fast but they're always getting in new stuff. Great shop! read more

I cannot express how PHENOMENAL this place is. I had a very bad experience where a male customer was bothering me and making me very uncomfortable to the point I was shaking. The guys in the shop immediately recognized something was up and stepped in to support me and create a safe space where I could shop and enjoy myself. You guys are my hero, thank you. I'm really touched by that. The record selection is impressive. I found so much amazing stuff for great prices. There's really something for everyone. I will definitely be back. Really enjoyed the staff, they are so nice to chat with and the overall vibe is very welcoming. read more

Vinyl Record Dude is a must visit for anyone who loves music and great sound! The shop is packed with vinyl, band tees, posters, and other music related gems.

This place is small but mighty!!! We are on vacation and thought heck let's stop at a local place. We were thrown by the location- with it being in a more industrial type area. We walked in and were welcomed. They said if we needed any help just to ask. It's small but they have a great selection and I mean great!!! They have some used, a ton of new and a ton still from record store day! I found the snoop dog from record store day. My daughter found the Black Friday Olivia Rodrigo. This place is a gem! I hope you show him some love Az! Because he's great. Prices are all reasonable and I love how it's organized. Thanks Vinyl Dude! read more

You have got to stop into their new location at 7223 E. Shea Blvd. IT IS AMAZING! This new retail space houses thousands and thousands of records, posters, t-shirts, one-of-a-kinds, turntables, vintage electronics, speakers, posters, buttons, stickers and music-related collectibles, not to mention SIGNED GUITARS from some very famous musicians! They even have a high-end audio room coming soon! If you can't find what you're looking for, Nick, Elvis or Sean will find it for you. Do you have records, CDs or stereo equipment just taking up space? Give them a call, they'll give you a fair and honest price. They have some amazing new staff additions. Stop in and say hello to them! (Ask them about their other services like cleaning and flattening records.) They are always paying cash for your old and new records. Give them a call for more information or to schedule an appointment (480) 626-2436. read more

I took 300 records in from basically the 60-70 and early 80's a lot of classics from the era and some more one off. they had been played so were well used and a lot were not salable. however alot of the covers were classics and very salable and the record assessor was knowledgeable and explained how they would swap covers and records out, sell on the internet etc and that was fine with me. I felt I got low balled for what was there however was moving so took his offer of $80. Just as an FYI I would consider trying someplace like Stinkweeds first. just to get a second bid read more

If I can give more stars I would. Stopped in today and the "Dude" there was extremely helpful and extremely nice. Very professional and I appreciated it all the way and found the CHVRCHES album for my kid and will return to shop there again. Not sure why others would want to give any kind of a bad review. I would rather shop at Vinyl Record Dude any day over Zia or Stinkweeds. read more

They are working with our time frame with the sale of our house and have been nothing but professional.

I am so glad I found this record store. I went in looking for a box to safely ship my son's valuable LP collection across country. I came out with a renewed sense of community. This is a tiny record store with a huge warehouse and online presence, to go with their huge hearts. When inquiring about the best way to pack LP's, employee Elvis took me in the warehouse and showed me exactly how they carefully wrap and pack stacks of records for shipment all over the world. He then offered to wrap and pack my son's collection for a nominal fee so that I could ship them myself without buying all the supplies. They didn't have to do that for me, it was purely a community service and has renewed my faith in the value added by patronizing a small business over a chain store (which would NEVER have even offered). Smartly decorated and well organized, this little store is tucked away just south of Redfield Road in the Scottsdale Airpark. A hidden gem indeed. They have been buying and selling vinyl online for over 20 years. Only in the last 2 years have they opened a physical store, and I'm thrilled they are doing well. I will be back! read more

Great place. Super friendly to a guy new to vinyl. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a great collection.

Genuinely just the coolest record store. We get the best service here, and there's such an eclectic variety. Very reasonable pricing, an excellent selection of audiophile records, a Discogs FULL of additional selection - this store is a can't miss! read more

What a wild spot! Industrial park and they've got a lot of stuff! Great internet presence too

Great little place to grab some vinyl. It's a bit tight, but they manage to have a great and relevant selection. Nice to know it's there.

Sweet little spot! Tim was incredibly helpful! The floor is sized for about an hour dig sesh. The selection was pretty diverse and a good mix of new and old. The prices were pretty on the mark and everything was in clean condition. If you're on the hunt for something specific--they have a HUGE back inventory to look in for you. Just ask read more

Thank you so much for the Van Halen Balance lp. It is like brand new. I have been trying to get a copy for almost 20 years and you really helped me out. I wish I lived in Scottsdale because I would go to your store a lot. Anyway, thanks again for the great album and don't ever close your store. We had PDQ Records down here in Tucson from 1985 to 2015 but then it closed. It was a great store like yours. Thank You, Kevin K Marana, AZ read more

out of all the record stores in the valley this by far will low ball you the hardest even harder than Zia records . I must start by saying the worker at the front was a total jerk from the start advising me that they pay between 6 and 7 dollars a record which is there cost which is a total lie no one is getting brand new records at that price. i had 11 sealed records as I used to have my record store. I wasn't looking to get rich off of these records but they were all good sellers mostly pop and rock records. There was a couple of Taylor swifts aerosmiths greatest etc. He then advised he had to go speak w the boss in the back about it and came back and said we can offer you 50 dollars I laughed and said no thank you and took them to the next record store which gave me 110 dollars for them. I will say it appeared that they did have good inventory and decently priced records from what I saw average price was between 25 and 30 dollars a record which is about average but then again if they are getting records at 6 to 7 dollars do they really need to make 400% profit per record I'll let you decide that. read more

Fantastic customer service. Outstanding price. Excellent work on flattening my records! Thank you the electrostatic cleaning and sleeves. recommend!!! read more

Vinyl Record Dude - Vinyl Records Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

They have some old stuff and at a great price spent maybe a total of 300 give or take on new and used and the used ones are true mint condition just wish they had a bigger room for albums other than that if I lived in Scottsdale I would be going every weekend to see what they have. read more

Mad close to where I live, and they legit have some of the best selection when it comes to Punk records in the valley hands down.

Glad we found this shop, excellent selection of new and pre-owned and found it to be a very comfortable space to browse the selection. Everyone we've met on staff are friendly and super helpful. If you need vinyl this is your stop. read more

Great record store with tons of vinyl records. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They have more and more and more records online (amazon, ebay etc) which you can pick at the store (storefront is not big enough for their entire collection). read more

This place is AMAZING! I called ahead looking for an ABBA gold greatest hits record, and this was the first place I found after calling roughly 8 other shops. The guy on the phone was incredibly sweet and clearly loved his job, of which he definitely knew a lot about. He was very eager to put the album aside for me, and I got lucky because it was the last one in stock! Later that afternoon I went to pick it up, and the guy there was very, very sweet and I was able to purchase it within seconds of telling him my name for the hold. He talked with me for a while about the other vinyls in the shop, and even though it was exactly closing time when I arrived he seemed more than happy to stay and help us. Thank you vinyl record dude!! read more

BUYER BEWARE! VERY Rude staff, OWNER DOUBLED DOWN ON RUDENESS and started a shouting match. Clerk had the gall to tell me the records/ genre & label I collect and enjoy are 'Trash'. I did online purchase with local pick up - but will never buy from these people online or in person again.. Do not recommend them. read more

These guys are so cool and welcoming they connect with every customer on a personal level and not to mention have the coolest stuff. There's not many places in scottsdale/phoenix area that have vintage records/items as good as this place! I would definitely recommend coming here and bring some friends too read more

These guys have a huge stockpile of records. What you see on the sales floor is just the tip of the iceberg. The widest selection you'll find in town without a doubt. Staff really knows their stuff, too. These people are way into it, not your average hired help. read more

Massive selection of vinyl. A true. Mom and pop business you do not need to go anywhere else if he does not have it u won't get it. Will take online orders and ship. read more

Awesome find while I was in Scottsdale. Well organized and knowledgeable about local bands.

Great shop, was in from NY today and service, selection & pricing were all quite good. Thanks guys! will be back.

One of the best sites to find and buy great music on vinyl, and shellac. Vinyl Record Dude usually has what I am looking for. With a huge sellection of 78's, 33's and 45's, I find it difficult to pass up anything I am looking for when I find it on any one of the sites they sell through. Always priced fairly and condition graded conservatively, I always know what to expect and to always be happy with their product. I stumbled across these guys when I was looking for a place to sell some of my collection when I decided to thin out the herd. They were honest with what I had and gave me a fair price for what they bought. Do not hesitate to give them a chance, and you will find yourself coming back for more! read more

Had never been to Vinyl Record Dude. I planned to meet an old friend there but got there early and started browsing the Jazz selection. Michael was working and greeted me with friendliness and jazz knowledge that for his age shocked me. His boss needs to give him a raise! He recommended three jazz LPs I wasn't familiar with and they are all in superb condition, excellent sonically and performance wise. When my friend arrived I plucked some of my favorites from the rock and roll section we combed through. What a mistake I made selling my collection of 1500 LPs. When my sister recently gave me back my first Thorens TT I decided to start collecting again. I will be here often. If you own LPs, don't be an idiot like me and sell them. If you're looking to build a collection, start here, especially if you live in the area. If you're visiting, be sure to make a trip to the store. Use your Map driving directions it's not in an area with lots of retail but worth seeking out. Keep up the good work. read more

Came into the store looking for a gift. I was surprised at the great selection. The staff were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. If you don't see what you are looking for on the floor, ask as they may have it in the back. read more

Awesome service. Huge online inventory with a super cool little store front. Been a couple times looking for a single album and walk out spending a few hundred each time! Lol. read more

The Front of the store is on the small side but it is loaded with high quality vinyl. I walked out with 12 records just from looking. But the beauty of Vinyl Record Dude is that they are a Ebay powerhouse. Behind the storefront is a warehouse 200,000 vinyls strong. Sean was more than great. I gave him 2 titles of albums I was looking for and he had them in the back and took them out of the "ebay" stock. No shipping charges. He even gave me a tour of the facility. What more could you ask for? Everything I bought was VG+ or better. I will keep going back. read more

Best place in town for records! Always a new selection to be had and a super friendly knowledgeable staff to talk vinyl with.

It was worth my time and energy to find a good home for my old LP's! This guy helped me out so much. I didn't have time to sell my LP's & cassettes one by one in a garage sale so l loaded my truck up with what I had, a 40 year collection (40 years of my time, not actually collecting for 40 years) he took them off my hands at a very modest price just to help me out so I could let go and move on to a new destination. Happy customer! read more

Vinyl record dude is awesome! I was very pleased with my experience and their staff is awesome!

Found these wonderful people after about 2 years of searching for someone trust worthy to let go of part of a collection I had inherited from my grandma. They had so much information and I was so relieved when I left that my albums were not going to be shuffled in and out of more bins but likely cleaned up and shipped to new deserving homes. Thank you Vinyl Recrd Dude! read more
