I just brought in my record collection to sell (about 10 NSLC wine boxes) and David went through…read morethe lot and gave me a very fair price. It was kind of incredible to see him sort everything, check for damage, and share his vast knowledge of the artists and how the records were recorded/produced, etc. My friend and I ended up hanging out for a bit after closing and chatting with David and another customer. The whole experience was A+.

My favourite place to shop for vinyl! Definitely worth the trip to Bedford, there is something…read morehere for everyone: rock, pop, motown, country, classical, soundtracks, etc. I've even bought recordings of comics like George Carlin here in the past. They also have a large collection of CDs and DVDs, and every time I go I walk away with some amazing deals. The owner is friendly and helpful, and if you're looking to get rid of any of your old music or movies, he'll take them off your hands for cash or store credit (store credit seems like the way to go in most cases, since he tends to be more generous with that than cash). As Adam B. mentioned, he brings his dog to work with him, she usually lounges on the floor in one of the aisles (which isn't really a problem as she seems friendly enough and is usually eager for a quick pat as you walk by).

You could spend three days straight in here and still not go through everything. Picture Doull's…read morebookstore in Dartmouth, but with comics, CDs and DVDs as well (and some VHS tapes). All in the same size store. It is chaos. And it's awesome. I'm always on the search for a specific issue of a comic I read in the 80s that I need to complete my collection (boy, does that sound geeky). So of course we had to stop in here. There is very little room for people. It's floor-to-ceiling books, comics, trading cards, games, etc. They have absolutely everything, but good luck finding it. Boxes on top of boxes of comics in sort-of order. Fortunately the owner knows where everything is. He's a very busy man, from the looks of it; the store was very busy on our visit, and it was a Tuesday. If you love digging (literally) through mountains of media in search of a hidden jewel, you will absolutely love this place. Definitely worth a drive to the valley.

This store sells a wide variety of used books. The used books are very reasonably priced. They also…read moresell used videos, CDs, video games and old records. Pokemon fans will be happy to see the selection of Pokemon titles and cards. They also sell trading cards from hockey, baseball or games such as Magic and the like. Collectors of POP figures will find a wide selection here (including Adventure Time and others). They also have board games both new and old. Comic collectors can also find a variety of titles here.

About a year ago I decided to try to rebuild the core of the record collection I had in the 80's. I started with flea markets and picked up a good album here and there. But things only really took off when I found this site. They've got thousands of records, many for under 10 bucks. The owner is a great guy, friendly, and easy to deal with. He once emailed me just to let me know that I had purchased the same album twice. The second one was for my son, but he didn't want me to have 2 of the same in case it was a mistake. Who does that? Seriously, check this site out. Make sure you use the search in the top right to look for bands, or albums, or artists. Of course you could spend over an hour and go through the whole site like I did the first time I saw it. :)

CD Heaven, WOW! Who knew that such a mecca store lived across the bridge. This place is huge, here…read moreyou can buy, trade, sell and even reserve the music you want. Both Cd and DVDs. They keep a healthy selection of local artists on hand. They offer a few different services, repair to scratches, transferring old music from vinyl or cassette to CD. They will also transfer VHS to DVD. I really like the reserve function which you can access through their website. The staff here were great, friendly and new where everything and every kind of music was. This was a great find.

My first experience with Taz was when staff refused to order me a fairly big indie release in 2023…read morebecause "their suppliers didn't have it." As I type this review I see on Taz.com that there is currently one copy of that exact record in Halifax and one in Bedford. Not sure why Taz refused my $45 when I was happy to wait for the album to arrive in store. My next experience with Taz was very similar. I pre-ordered another record on Taz.com and when release day arrived I anxiously awaited a phone call or email. I heard nothing, so I checked online to see if I had misremembered the release date. There were 9 copies on the shelves waiting to be bought. I called the store and asked if my order was ready, the employee was completely baffled. While the staff did the right thing and (I assume) took a copy off the shelf for me, this is a pretty major oversight. I had received my confirmation email before I hung up the phone. Staff at the Halifax location are truly some of the most miserable people I have had the misfortune of doing business with. I have no desire to return, although I have had fantastic experiences with Sunrise Records in Dartmouth so I will continue to build my 400-500 strong record collection. Taz records is the enshittification of vinyl and media shopping incarnate. Record stores are going the way of Blockbuster and HMV and it is because of poor management and misguided ownership, only interested in making a quick buck from a dying industry.

Went to buy records. Just let them know politely that the racks would bend the bottom of the…read morerecords. Tall dark-haired guy there told me off. "Are you gonna build us a shelf?!" Pointed to the records that were tipped forward saying it pretty much was my fault that they would be bent. And kept going on and on about how he's a carpenter by trade and BS that i didn't need to hear. He was EXTREMELY rude. I was just giving helpful feedback that he could relay to his manager and then the manager could relay to head office. Its not a good shelf system is all i shared. So i put my selection of records back and went to Taz Records and bought 6 records there. No matter what... You don't tell off a customer. Go back to carpentry a-hole.
