    What a spot. This is one of the more disheveled record stores I've ever been to. They have a smorgasbord of things for sale, with new and used vinyl being the highlight, but also used CDs, cassettes, DVDs, game cartridges, and an assortment of other things without price tags but ready to go for a reasonable price. If you want a tube TV, an electronic drum kit, a PA system or a full-sized stuffed gorilla, you're likely in luck. The owner will likely be there, and is super approachable and talkative. He loves vinyl and has been running this store for several decades. When I mentioned I traveled throughout the Great Lakes region, he started recommending record stores in all the nearby cities, as well as several favorite other Lima businesses. He's passionate about what he does, even if he struggles at organization. It's all part of the charm though. It feels like a mixture between a record store, a pawn shop and a flea market vendor, and I loved every moment of it. Most of his used selection was under $5. Even stuff I'm accustomed to seeing go for $20 elsewhere. I found several things to take home without breaking the bank. Although he has credit card stickers on his door he is currently cash only officially. That's because his card reader broke and was not replaced. However he walked next door and used their credit card machine to run my card. Your mileage may vary but it's all part of the charm in my book!

    Lots of priced VHS. I wouldn't say there were a ton of deals but def worth a trip to this mall to…read moretake a look. An odd amount of UFO related material here haha. Lots of physical media to go through. They were blasting some hair metal but occasionally were play testing other music just as loud simultaneously... Scrambled my brain a little bit but what else would you expect from a record store in an old mall? If you like to collect things this would be a good stop for you- tons of stock.

    This is a store focused on older media such as CDs, cassettes, records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and so on…read morewith a huge selection of almost all of that (especially music and VHS tapes). They also have current music including some that is a little harder to come by sometimes (and some very niche stuff as well), some anime and manga, and various other things and collectibles (i.e. band shirts, figurines). The staff is nice enough, the location is now much bigger than it used to be as well as they moved to another spot in the mall across from where they had been, and the prices can vary from really good to very marked up. If you are a collector and want authentic stuff be warned they do have a lot of bootleg DVDs mostly when it comes to anime and television shows specifically. If the owners/staff disagree with this then I apologize, I do not mean to defame or damage your business - this is strictly my personal opinion as a fan collector of these things with decades of my own research that I personally believe, NOT a factual proven statement from an authority on the subject, and readers of this review can and should take this as nothing more than the view of an unofficial fan purchaser who could be completely mistaken. My other, and probably biggest issue, is that they had marijuana stuff for sale next to a rack of children's Disney movies. Perhaps it won't stay that way (and possibly has even been removed/moved by now), but they were both on solid fixtures and out for sale near the back of the store. I have a problem with this stuff being in the store at all to begin with (and am not sure it's even entirely legal to have in Ohio for sale in a store like that), but it's really irresponsible and distasteful to have it next to what kids would be interested in and makes me question the owners decisions. If you bring your children just keep an eye on them the whole time so they don't have to see this stuff or get a chance to interact with it. While I point out two negatives that may be big depending on you personally, I still actually really like this place and the staff are, again, very nice so I don't wish to discourage people from visiting. There's a lot of cool items, a lot of rare items, a lot of popular typical things you'd expect...and all of it is bundled up in a store straight out of the mid 90s - a type of store I, personally, really miss. I wish the best for them and will, even with said issues, keep coming back and absolutely recommend checking it out if you're ever at the mall.

    Last Man Standing - Most of the VHS started at $5. Some cool rare titles but they were priced for ebay. Ok if thats what you're looking for.

    Chuckie and Brandon have it down pat…read more Finders is amazing. A wonderful selection of both new and used releases, ranging all over the genre spectrum and back again. I can always pretty much guarantee that when I listen to or hear of some random band whose album I'm sure I'll never be able to find, Finders will have that release waiting contentedly for me. Their vinyl selection is growing by leaps and bounds as the months move along, as well. Additionally, I specifically appreciate the fact that they give ample attention to genres such as classical, world, and electronic music - good stuff, and nice that I can find Tinariwen and Ali Farke Toure as easily as I can something in Sub Pop. Their used section is great, too, vaulting wildly down one whole wall of the store - my only complaint with the section on the whole is that its shelves stretch up a good ways and the CDs are stored horizontally (as is normal, I know, I know). This makes reading the titles on most of the shelves frankly overwhelming, to be honest, and on the upper shelves, nearly impossible. A mild downer, however, in what overall is a great store to purchase music from. Dangerously good.

    Vinyl Fever was the name of Tallahassee's one-time premier vinyl peddling outlet. It has long-ago…read moreclosed shop. I understand we have another shop on Gaines St., but I've never been. Nonetheless - this is about Finder's. What a find. They have it all. This comprehensive record store provides vinyl of all genres. Why can't TLH have this level of vinyl outlet? Seriously? Good on you, good citizens and wayfarers of Bowling Green. You're endowed with a gift here. Don't overlook it!

    We've been going to this antique store for a long time, even before they moved into their current…read morelocation. The week of January 11th, 2021 when I entered the store I was shocked to see owners (or I think they are) not wearing masks. I realize for some people this is a personal choice yet when one is running a business and elect not to wear a mask is unsetteling. One other employee was there and she never wore a mask. At that point I should have left the items I intended to purchase yet I thought I would distance myself. Then there were a small family of customers that weren't wearing masks either! Went to the counter to pay, used the hand sanitizer that was on the counter and the lady checking me out scolded me as the sanitize was runny and got on a newspaper! Excuse me, not my fault the stuff was like water. I don't like wearing a mask yet with a spouce with COPD and taking care of a 92 year old mother in law, I don't have a choice. Plus I'm a 70 year old that does not want to get COVID. I will never set foot in that store again. Instead I'll make the short drive to MI where store owners adhere to the requirements. Product wise it's a nice store with variety. Take your chances entering this establishment. My husband loved going through their old LP records yet there are too many other antique stores in the area that sell them too.

    A neat shop with a variety of things. Many old albums. An old jukebox. Lots of fun items.read more
