The guys were super nice as well...made me feel welcome right away and were helpful and courteous. This place is a welcome addition to the area - stop in and check them out!

Stopped by here during our weekend trip and it was one of my best record store experiences to date…read more Keith was beyond helpful, super informative and seems like a great guy. He helped us with our selections and answers every question we had, you can tell he is very passionate about his business. The store is smaller but has a huge selection and great prices. We bought a record here that was in better condition than the previous shop we visited, and for under half the price of the other place. Cannot recommend enough

Found this great little store by chance. I'm an old 80's metal guy and found a lot of cool stuff…read more The staff was very nice to me and asked me a few times if I needed anything. I ended up buying an old cd that most stores wouldn't have any idea what it was. Next trip I'll bring in some of my used media. Reminds me of the good old days of going to the record/cd place and browsing. Glad to see a store like that near me. Will be back. Thanks guys

Walking in I was never greeted or even looked at. The woman in the store was sitting in her office…read moreand never even looked up from her computer. Everything in the store is in a sealed flap casing and has a sticker on it which doesn't allow you to look at the album. They are grading the album but not the sleeve which seems odd and they are using trading like VG++??? All CDs are priced at 4.99 or 5 for $20 except the ones that are "more rare." The prices seem to be quite a bit higher than most other shops I have been to (and that's a lot) plus Discogs. To be honest I am not sure where they are getting their listing price and I probably won't be back.

I have to agree with some of the reviews, but overall it's a fine store…read more To the point about not being open regularly, I have only been able to find it open twice. I don't live super close, but I try to check on it when I'm around. Someone mentioned several copies of the same record in different parts of the store and different prices. I have noticed that, too, but that is common of many record stores. The new copies will be the same price, but used copies will have different prices depending on the condition. I think the problem might be that the New, Used, and genre sections are not labelled clearly enough and there are many different sections. The first time I actually was able to get in, the store was open and music was playing, but there was no one manning the store. If there was someone there, I didn't see them in the 30 minutes or so I was browsing. I ended up leaving empty handed. They do have a decent collection of records, though. Last time, I was able to find something I had been looking for for years. I'll go back. Hopefully it's open when I do.

Terrible. The mature gentleman working was friendly when we stopped in on a quiet weekend…read more He left and left a young adult to "work". The gentleman returned after a short thereafter, as he apparently ran into a frequent customer who came in, and wanted to chat and exchange pleasantries. The gentleman had to instruct the young adult to "play some music", as she literally had zero music. It was quieter than a library. Anywho, once he left she played "music" thru her phone which apparently was a hot commodity as it beeped and interrupted the "music" every 30-45 seconds. There were a few albums we wanted to find and suspected they possibly had but could not. We gave up as we were left alone as the young adult was in the back room doing whatever. I suspect if the older gentleman was still on the clock, he would have assisted us best he could. Needless to say, we tried a newer vinyl store in Dunedin- greeted immediately and ended up walking out almost hours later, spending way more than planned.

The shop is tucked away down an alley in the beautiful Bradenton Arts District. Parking was easy despite it being a busy area. I didn't have much time to peruse the store's offerings but I loved the vibe and am looking forward to returning to shop. I didn't have an appointment but was welcomed anyway, I dropped off my records to be assessed and was told I'd hear from the owner. Only a few hours later I got a text from Doug with an offer! So easy and am so glad the records will be rehomed and enjoyed by someone else. Thank you Jerk Dog!

Does that add up to 100%? The only thing I would reduce my review for was the equipment section. It was space. Where there we're amps and speakers for purchase. For the most part, the equipment was the shiny black stuff we all remember from the late 90s and early 2000s. Sadly, I didn't see a single beautiful amp from the 1970s or 1980s. I judge an equipment section based off of how many VU matters and oscilloscopes I see. Sadly, it was all black plastic and blue LEDs. I'm sure sure how the vinyl is cleaned before sale, but most purchases come with an exterior sleeve of various quality. I wish the record came with a free replacement interior sleeve for the LP, I would even pay money for this services, but it wasn't on the me available for me at the time. I can't afford to buy stacks of LP sleeves, let's make those available as useful and value adding upgrades! The staff was awesome and helped me so much.

The website and reviews recommended calling ahead to see if the owner, Patrick, was accepting inventory. I wasn't exactly sure where the store was; so while out, I wanted to drive by and check the store location out. We ended up being there an hour before they opened and saw someone in the store. We were quickly greeted by the owner and he opened the store early for us! It's almost overwhelming the amount of inventory he has available. I didn't bring my stuff to sell, but explained the amount and quality and he suggested to bring it in for him to evaluate. I can't say enough about how sweet Patrick was. So helpful and informative and I quickly caught on to his Irish brogue and we dove into a long conversation about Ireland - where I feel like I should hire him to be my guide next time I visit We ended up buying 2 books and he informed us about a charity type bookstore in St. Pete where we could find books very cheap and gave us coupons for them. While I haven't returned yet to bring my items in (which I don't think will sell given his high standards and quality of his items-while mine are used and abused lol) , I do look forward to going back again. If nothing else, just to interact with Patrick. Both my partner and I found him to be so great! If you read this Patrick, Jason and I will definitely adopt you as family

They're…read moreonly open certain weekends as they inventory things so if you check their social media or website you can find the dates to check it out. I have come the last few years for their Christmas market and am obsessed. It's not the biggest space but they jam pack things in here so it takes at least 30-40 minutes if you want into every pocket and really look through everything. Of course there are some things that are a little pricey but for vintage items I think a lot of it is pretty affordable. You can get all kind of knick knacks, jewelry, clothes, home decor, utensils and much more. There's a little something for everyone here and it's the most fun.

This little spot is on Seventh Ave, at 24th Street-just a couple of blocks east of the Columbia. It looks sort of like a big shed-which just adds to the mystique. You feel like a treasure hunter, before you even get inside. There are a few parking spaces out front, once they open the fence gate... and there's some public parking about two blocks away. Inside, there's a delightful jumble of vintage eras and items, all set up by different vendors. This was my first visit, after following them on social for awhile-and it was so fun. The business is chock full of cool finds. It's open every two weeks, Friday through Sunday. I was there just as they opened on a cool, sunny Friday morning-and it wasn't crowded at all. They had good music on the radio and I browsed to my heart's content. But it got busier-which was also fun-to see other people enjoy the past as much as I do. My sentimental soul was singing. So, it's a tight space.. don't bring a big purse. You'll want to spend some time, checking everything out. I did several laps, to make sure I didn't miss anything. On the day I was there, there was everything from lamps to jewelry to glassware sets (including pitchers) to wall art to a groovy, lime green, crushed velvet recliner. But I'm sure the inventory is always shifting. Several vendors had set up their areas with seasonal items, perfect for St. Patrick's Day or Easter (I was there in early March) . I can't wait to go back in two weeks to see what old stuff, is new!! Prices are very comparable to other antique/vintage stores I've visited. The staff was still busy setting up/opening when I got there. That must be quick, turning things around in two weeks. It was more than I expected-and I love when that happens. For a groovy time, stop here.
