Interesting store. I like to dig, and this is a digger's store- crazy piles of stuff everywhere. If…read moreyou want to browse you will need to move boxes to get to stuff. The inventory is really interesting and deep but it is dirty and a lot of the records are in poor condition. Again, I like to dig, but in these circumstances I don't want to pay boutique prices- they wanted $10-15 for 12" records I can get near-mint on discogs for $5. They should consider charging less considering the amount of labor they are putting on the customer. I pulled out a pile of about 20 records but put back 10 because they were scratched and skipped out on 9 more because I could get them cheaper elsewhere. Came out with one record and filthy fingers. No regrets, but I probably won't come back. Nice people though!

I mean no disrespect to the owners of this establishment but genuinely this business is a safety…read morehazard for customers and employees alike. I was only able to be in the space about 5 minutes before I felt too claustrophobic and had to leave. There are thousands and thousands of records, cassettes, 8 tracks, CDs, and audio equipment everywhere in this store however - almost like a hoarder house there are pathways carved out of these records and you have to one foot in front of the other carefully walk through without tripping. In the case of an emergency (god forbid) I wouldn't want customer or employee alike to be placed in a bad situation because of how unmanaged and chaotic this establishment is.

In response to the guy who was upset about Music Matters not holding a record for him on Record…read moreStore Day - I too called Music Matters to request that they hold a Record Store Day (RSD) single for me and then mail it, but they explained to me that their RSD contract stated that they could not hold records, and that they would lose the right to get RSD limited edition records if they did. So, as much as I wanted that single, I completely understood their policy. I know now I have to drive to St. Augustine to wait in line! I want to say something else about Music Matters. In an age where record stores are becoming extinct, and online retail overwhelms, Music Matters is not just a music "shop," it is a cool, friendly place to hang out, with people who are knowledgeable, and care about you finding that one record you have been looking for, or turning you on to new music in a favorite genre that you didn't even know about, something that you cannot experience with a computer (sorry Siri). And where else can you immediately buy the music you were jonesing for? Even Amazon hasn't come up with immediate gratification delivery! Check this store out!

Stopped in here after a disappointing visit to another record store in the area…read more We were only there for a short time but a couple of observations led to my 4 star review. 1) the staff was going through a large amount of records right near the front door. I'm not saying that's a negative, it's actually quite a positive. Even through the 3 of them were going through a big collection, they still stopped to help us. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because of how I personally shop for records. I'm not what you'd call a crate digger. If you are, then you'll love this place. I know there are many, many crate diggers out there. Just wanted to mention it not being my style in case anyone else wanted to know what to expect. We picked up a couple of records while we were there, so it was a good visit. It helped make up for the other place in town that we stopped first.

Customer service isn't that hard but it's clear from your reply that you have absolutely no idea what the term "customer service". This weird and insulting reply has insured that we will never bother stopping in again seeing as being snarky & insulting almost a year later is more important to you than learning and improving.

I guess you can say this is where many old arcade games go to finish out their days. It's fun to…read moreplay the older outdated games...it brings back a lot of memories. Arcade games have changed so much over the years, so it's nice to be able to have access to them. All games take quarters and they do have a change machine. You can literally spend a few hours in here...just like the good ol' days for some of us. Moreover, there is a store where you can find a lot of older games for older consoles like the Wii, PS2, and Xbox360 to name a few. They have quite a few specials on older games as well. The store offers many other things as well other than playing or purchasing older games. They have gaming-type gifts and they do trades too. It's definitely worth a stop if you are a gamer, looking for a retro item and/or looking for a hard-to-find game or item for yourself or as a gift...or just want a trip down memory lane. On that note, I'm glad places like this exist to give new life to all of these games, etc. It's pretty cool!

What an amazing find!…read more Didn't know about this place before coming in and just floored at how much stuff was here. In a nutshell - Video games, collectibles, dvds, cds, vinyl, used and new books, board games and even musical instruments. It's a great store to look around and find some things you didn't realize you wanted!

I had no idea this store even existed until now lol, but wow it's absolutely huge. They have books,…read moreFunkos, CDs, records, collectibles, kids toys, blind bags, and pretty much every 80's baby dream item you could think of. My daughter and I loved the variety and could honestly spend forever looking around. I also think it's really neat that they buy your items and resell gently used treasures, so you never know what you're going to find. It's such a fun place to shop if you're looking for a unique or special gift. There's plenty of parking, the staff always says hi when I walk in, and the whole vibe is welcoming and nostalgic. Overall highly recommended. Definitely check it out!

Been coming to Bob's for over two years and his prices are decent. I've bought a lot from him-CDs…read moreas well as vinyl. The big stores like Best Buy no longer carry music show DVDs (like The Band's Last Waltz) but he's one of the few who has them. Young people should give this place a try-he has music from the 50s til now; additionally, has equipment, cabinets, and even electric guitars. He's knowledgeable, fair and approachable. He's located in the Beach Blvd Flea Market so you can also check out some awesome snacks (hot garlic peanuts) and fresh veggies, seafood, etc.

He has a gigantic selection of games, vinyl, CDs, DVDs and more. It's inside Beach Blvd Flea Market and best to go on the weekends.

I never miss an opportunity to pop in here and have a look around whenever I'm at The Avenues Mall…read more Often, I'll even find myself making an unplanned purchase. It is cool that an actual CD store still exists, but I don't come in here to look at the CDs. If there's a CD I ever want to purchase, I do it at Best Buy so I can get my points and they price match. What's really cool are all the albums they have. I love looking through those. I have even contemplated buying a turntable so I can listen to albums again. But, if I ever do, it will probably do nothing more than sit and collect dust because I do love the crystal clear sound we have nowadays. I can't see spending money on something that will more than likely just end up being a dust collector. Nonetheless, I enjoy purusing the albums. The novelty items are what always bring me in here to have a look around. They carry things from all the latest fads like Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, The Hunger Games, etc. I've even seen a life-sized E.T. here before... very cool! They also have some really cool posters. They have headphones, phone chargers, chargers to charge your devices if they are on the verge of dying (I'm still not sure what those things are called), and other electronic items. Everything is nice and organized. The employees are helpful and friendly. If you find yourself in The Avenues, take a few minutes to pop in here and have a look around.

If you need it RIGHT now- because you can't hold your wad- go for it- they have a huge selection. But, if you can wait, you can probably find it for less.
