Prices were steep. I like to support local businesses, especially record stores, but I know what…read morethose records go for and what online wholesalers sell them for. If you're higher than other stores by an unacceptable amount I'll support the online wholesaler instead. It doesn't give me that warm feeling I get holding a record, looking at it, and deciding to buy it, and it's putting small business out of business, but if I know you got that on millions of records for $4-10 and you're trying to get 25-30 bucks I can't support you. The used records were priced what the new records should have cost. If it's not rare, I'm not paying $15 for something I can get for $2-5 at a record show back in Chicago... So I'm too spoiled to buy anything here but they had a decent collection, staff seemed nice, plenty of inventory. I wouldn't go back, but it might work for this town/people.

5 stars for the atmosphere, 3 stars for the lack of organization…read more Always love shopping at local stores. Especially, local record stores. The staff was very friendly and the environment of the store is incredibly welcoming and cozy. While they don't have the largest selection in the area, I was pleasantly surprised to find numerous records which I had not seen anywhere else. One of the other cool things about the store is that they provide perfectly sized shopping bags while you are making your selection. These bags come in incredibly handy to hold on to whatever records you are planning on purchasing so that you don't need to set them on the floor or on top of the records. This perk is wonderful. Plus there are little hooks around the store which you can then hang the bags on in order to have both hands available to browse their selection. If there is one thing which I will complain about, and it is the reason I did not give the store five stars, it is the organization of the records. Within the genre of records, there appears to be no organizational structure whatsoever for the vinyl. This makes trying to find a particular record almost impossible without having to flip through hundreds of records which you simply don't care about. While I can imagine that it is a nice way to possibly find albums you didn't know you wanted, it was very frustrating and after about 30 minutes of looking through the albums, I simply gave up because I did not have the patience to go through every album in the store looking for a particular one. I will certainly return to the store anytime I am in the area but if you are looking for someplace that you can pop in, look for a specific record, and then leave, this is not it. If you are looking for a store in which you will spend an hour simply browsing through a selection, look no further, this is your place.

Let the tooting and honking begin!…read more My fifth grade daughter identifies clarinetist (after trying all the many wind instruments one school day in August). Which means, a clarinet purchase was in my near future. Thank goodness for West Music. I popped on their website and found the options (resin or wood, premium brand or standard). I selected my choice and signed up easily for a four year payment plan-- that included a $9 a month peace of mind charge for repairs. Clarinets aren't cheap but luckily if my daughter decides clarinet isn't for her; West Music will purchase it back from us no questions asked. Phew. The clarinet was ready for pickup at this location. (I received a call, text and email reminder.) Evan was super pleasant and helpful. I have a long road with West Music as the tooting and honking clarinetist continues on over the years-- I have a good feeling it'll be a great experience. Stay tuned.

Inside I found amazing deals on army fatigues, which are great for the range with their pouches, hunting and EDC knives from $5-15, leather holsters on sale for under $15 - although most were for very specific models. The guy was a little cold to me, and since I don't look very Iowan I felt odd. Especially when I noticed how he treated the good old boys that came in to talk about WW2 and Nazi stuff, but at the end of the day, he warmed up and helped me.
