Even more so how they preach about love of music and the huge following in their market place that has a need for fans their love of LPs and stories to bring the music back to life.

My favorite record store ever!…read more Absolutely insane selection of records; wonderfully eclectic, well-priced, and diverse. The owner (and his cutie pie dog!) are so so chill, and the in-store music is always as good as the records they hold. Even their speaker system is fantastic-- great volume, impressive depth, pretty highs and hearty lows. Multiple times I've came in to browse and left with a new recommendation. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but every shelf is packed perfectly. Long gone are the days of straining my fingers to pull apart 50 vinyl records on a shelf that's only supposed to hold 30. And we're talking perfect browsing height too! No sore backs, tired fingers, or fatigued ears. A brilliant little stop, that I cannot recommend enough. If you love music, you will love this store.

New and used records can be found at favorable prices. Also the interior reminds me of a basement where you'd go through boxes and shelves and finding things that make you reminisce about the good times. Definitely a must-stop in Bay View if you love music!

Well for starters, how about not listing an item as VG+ when there's a plethora of creases along…read morethe top edge and a literal hole in the back of it. Or, how about not referring to those creases and hole(s) as "minor cosmetic issues". Or, how about not listing it for over $30 above the average sale price on Discogs when the average piece sold at that price is practically in mint condition, if not still sealed, while your copy is opened, used extensively, clearly mistreated by either it's original owner or by your staff, and has unwanted tape applied by your staff on it to "fix the problem". Or, how about not making the buyer pay for shipping to ship a defective product back to your store. And if none of your staff is able to utilize any of my recommendations, how about at the very least, you and your staff not refer to collectors or hobbyists as "not-normal people with crippling OCD issues". That would be a good place to start. However, after talking with your staff on the phone recently, it's crystal clear that neither your staff nor your company cares at all about the consumer. I'm sure of it, that your staff and owner have the mindset of "there's always another sucker out there". Now, as a collector, I always read every detail about a listing just to be clear on what my expectations should be, however, after reading this description, not only am I shocked at how much the condition of the piece is downplayed, I'm utterly appalled at the hate speech used in the listing description. First, as a "limited" music store, I expect all of your staff to be more "OCD" than I, since you know it's so limited (your inventory that is) according to your namesake. Second, I expect the descriptions of your items to be thoroughly detailed without a hint of any of your staff being subjective when preparing an item to be listed. Third, I expect your staff to not participate in hate speech (the last line of your listing description, if you were still unaware of what I was referring to). Fourth, I expect that when a customer like myself needs to return an item because it's clearly not in the condition described in your listing, that you and your staff do the right thing instead of making the customer spend more money just to not have the item they bought from your store, and that a replacement or full refund (including the cost for shipping the item back to your store) be issued in a professional and courteous manner. And finally, if you and your staff are completely unwilling to make any of the changes I've suggested, then you just remove the listing altogether instead of trying to scam the next hardworking customer out of every dollar they have just so you can make a quick buck. If I could give a rating less than 1-star then I would. From this point going forward, I will NEVER place a single purchase on any item from this store for as long as I shall live. Oh and word is traveling fast around the "OCD" collecting community that your store over prices your product substantially, doesn't accurately describe the condition of your product and even downplays the severity of the damage caused, and refuses to try and make amends when an issue arises. I hope every single person who wants to purchase any item from your store, reads my review and chooses wisely and shops elsewhere. I hope the community in Wisconsin isn't similar to you and your staff, because if they are, then I'll be avoiding Wisconsin in its entirety. I've attached a screenshot I took from the current listing of ONE of the damaged items being listed on Discogs. For the tentative consumer reading my review, please choose to shop elsewhere. There are many other businesses that I would much rather purchase from and so should you. Also, for the store employee reading this review, please do not respond asking for forgiveness and to be given a second chance at rectifying the situation. Your staff has made it abundantly clear that an amenable solution will not be sought out by you, your staff, or your store in general. Thank you.
