Review Visit: November 6th, 2016…read more The name in all honesty should be... Endless Records. While killing time in St. Louis, MO, I decided to stop by this music store to see what they offered. Well, they offer endless vinyl to pour over. Endless cds to browse. Endless vhs tapes to get at a cheap price. They had it all and then some. Rows and rows and rows of cds, vinyls, dvds, vhs tapes. Boxes and boxes of the same all over the place. If you are claustrophobic, this store is not for you. If you are a music lover, this store is for you. If you are both... well take your chance and maybe find something cool or unique. The prices on everything seems pretty good, if not a bit cheap. Every artist I thought of, I found something from them. Even happened upon bands I haven't heard of in forever. They do take trade-ins if you are looking to offload rare music stuff or music players. Quite a great little stop if you love music or vinyl or clutter. I tried to capture the charm and the quantity of stuff available in my photos, so you can see what I am talking about.

Finally made it here after seeing this place in a TV ad. Came with a friend and we had a great time…read morejust browsing around. The space is really big and packed with records, DVDs, CDs, you name it. Everything is labeled pretty well but it can definitely feel overwhelming just because of how much there is. The good news is the staff is super friendly and easy to approach, so don't hesitate to ask them for help or something specific. I was also surprised by how much international stuff they carry. They even had a recent Kpop album from a group I like and I did not expect them to have it in stock. Overall just a really fun place to come to with friends, flip through some records, and maybe find something you weren't expecting. Would go back!

Not only did they have it available but it was priced well too. The staff was very friendly and this place is huge. Highly likely that whatever you are looking for, they'll have it here. My only issue would be parking. I was lucky to find a spot in front but usually it's busy in the loop so get make sure you are good with walking. Still a great location with all the other shops around. I will definitely return as my kids are into vinyl records now and would like a few of their own.

I love collecting vinyl just as much as I love supporting local shops. however the small selection…read moreis perfectly fine however $70 for a vinyl that's not rare or exclusive is just robbery when other shops locally would have the same for less than $25? it just just doesn't make sense i'm sorry. the owner is pretty cold shoulder with not much to say even as I greet with a hello. such a shame because this place would have great potential with its location. cool toys and little stuff like that. but meh, prices are so high for no real reason, owner is a bit cold. hopeful for this place to change.

I shudder at the thought of having an hour and a half to myself in here :) Staff were super friendly. Lots of desirable records on the "premium" space on the wall (I snagged one). Good tunes going on in the background. Prices were actually reasonable! I've had a lot of records to spin since I shopped there last Saturday and they're all in great condition. If I lived in St. Louis I would certainly be a regular. Two thumbs up!

It's a pretty neat store. Not an antique mall... a curated store. I got the feeling that everything…read morecame from a long ago estate sale in University City or Clayton. Various animal-related pieces (as in taxidermy and fur, not as in ceramic Persian cats). Staff left me alone to shop the 2... 3? 4? rooms. These rooms are pretty full. Give yourself some time and consider leaving with a sitter any little kids who would touch and break things. Minus one star because I filled out the "buying" form on the website. I had some items I wanted to see whether they'd be interested in. No one contacted me. It's fine if my stuff isn't of the type or quality that goes in your store, but I'm clearing out a late family member's possessions and I took some time to upload photos share with The Brass Alligator, and even a "thanks, but no thanks" would have been nice. Not a big deal.

Worst estate sale experience I've had…read more The first day was overcrowded to the point of being uncomfortable -- way too many people packed inside with no control. The second day, they had people standing outside for over an hour with no communication or sense of urgency. Pricing was completely out of touch. Charging $1 per stem for tiny Dollar Tree florals (not even a bouquet) is honestly absurd. What really pushed this into unacceptable territory was the pricing on half-price day. I was quoted $900 for about half a car full. After checking the tags myself, it should have been closer to $400 -- or around $200 with the discount. That kind of discrepancy is not a small mistake. Between the lack of organization, long waits, and questionable pricing, this felt like a very poorly run sale at best -- and misleading at worst. I won't be back.

The record store portion of the business featured a very good selection of alphabetically- sorted used rock vinyl, including many import pressings ... as well as a few new LPs (including recent RSD releases). Budget-priced discs were in crates below and behind the primary inventory. They also had some jazz, blues, folk/country, and a few classical records. They even had two different releases by my favorite 60's band, Moby Grape!! While the records alone would have brought me back to this store, fully half of their location is dedicated to high-end hi-fi equipment: turntabless, CD players, amp, speakers, etc. I have been wanted to rebuild my home audio for over 30 years ... but after several major geographic relocations, I no longer knew where to start. Well folks, this is it! Mike, the owner, is extremely knowledgable in all matters stereo - and will demo different set-ups at your request. Very high end, audiophile equipment. There's more stuff to explore, but please trust me, it's a great store. The good old days for a record collector like me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

It sounded fine at first, until…read moreone day it just didn't, so I took it to the most knowledgeable audio professional I know, and he opened it up. First problem we found was the stylus went bad, I was told I was getting an "800 dollar" cartridge, which is true if it were brand new. Once opened up we discovered more issues, with my tech friend calling it a "Frankenstein" table, because most parts were either wrong or subpar. It had wrong belt, wrong base, wrong springs installed wrong, the interconnects were crap, and it was filthy inside. I paid a premium price for a turntable, thinking I was getting a premium turntable, but in actuality I got a visually appealing turntable that was fundamentally not premium by any stretch of the imagination. Now I'm going to end up paying close to another 1K for a turntable that was already overpriced to begin with.

Pretty good selection and prices. Service was great as well. Would stop by again if in the arearead more
