The staff seems to be hit or miss, times I have been greeted and they are very attentive with showing me where something I am looking for is where other times when I walk in there isn't one word said to me. Not a huge deal but I like consistency when it comes to friendly staff. The location is pretty huge and the shelves are pretty easy to find because everything is labeled pretty nicely but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to where they are located throughout the store. Prices are reasonable but there have been a few items I have found for slightly cheaper on ebay (including shipping) or other sites that specialize in vinyl records. I like that this place does have a nice amount of cassettes as well but I would like those to be organized a lot more than they currently are. The store is super clean and very well lit and I like that they offer listening parties for some upcoming albums that are very hyped!

Honestly an amazing record store and I'm so glad this location and another of their locations are…read morepretty close to where I live! I have been a few times but most recently came here for record store day and it was a nice smooth event from the second I got there to the second I left! The staff is very knowledgeable and even pointed to the places on the walls where my items I was hunting for, would be. Thank god I was close to the front of the line because they only had 2 copies of one of the records I wanted and I managed to get one before anyone in front of me bought them! I really love that they had a one item per person limit for the event. The space is nice and small but they have so many different records around that I could've spent half a day here looking through everything they had to offer! The layout is very easy to have and everything is nicely labeled and easy to search for! The prices for new records are a bit pricey, but equal to other places in the area as well as stores online. I don't mind it because I like to support small businesses!

Brand new record shop in Dania Beach and ten miles from their other location in Lauderhill. Due to…read morethe recent grand opening, I'm assuming thats the reason why there is no sign affixed to the building for a clear visual and advertisement from the Griffin Roadway. Only a tiny business name exists on the front glass door. In my opinion, this store is very condensed with a decent variety of music accessories including record players, music posters, speakers and vinyl storage crates with an odd addition of action figures. The used and new vinyl are displayed by genre at mid-range prices. Good supply of classic albums although a majority are new digital versions.

One day, I just decided to visit the "Thrive Art District," and popped in here. I've been a regular…read moreever since. Even though other record stores may have a more exhaustive selection, this store just has the cool factor over all of the rest in the area. I don't come here with anything in particular in mind, I'm just going to flip through stuff and see if there's anything I want at a price I'm willing to pay. I have seen some limited edition color vinyl at not-terrible prices here, and a couple of those have certainly gone home with me. One other thing I love here, the owner will put together mystery bags of 4-5 records for a low price. You never know what you're going to get, but if you are someone who is open to many different kinds of music, you may find some really fun records. It's an inexpensive way to start building a collection. In one bag I purchased, there was even a record from Record Store Day way back in 2013. I also have some funk/soul records I *never* would have thought to buy, and you know what, they're pretty good. This is pretty much the store I will go to when I just want to shop aimlessly and see what I find.

Cool little store but the most important thing I noticed was the warmth and honesty that Jeff put out. Cards and collectibles are not my forté but he showed me everything he was looking at and what his process was. He put as much trust in me as one would hope to get from someone in his position. It's not a store I'll be in all the time but this would be my "go to" for sports cards, buying and selling from here on.

This shop was one of the more disorganized shops I've been to in a long time. Appeared to have some great newer and older products, but how to get to them when you need to crawl over boxes and packages strewn across the floor... Loose baseballs and cards haphazardly placed in boxes made it hard to move items around to find any treasures I may have wanted. Some items were priced, many were not. So, when you went to the counter to get a quote, you had to wait for the owner to look up comps for the items that were not priced. Then when you received the quote, the prices quoted were not all that amazing. In fact, even after buying them (because again, I always try to but something) the prices were on the high end of all the items on selling platforms. There are many other shops that are more organized and better priced. Go to those!! I cannot recommend this one!

Chatted with the owner Gunther about the 80s hardcore scene, suprisingly he knew alot about the industry as a young guy.

Noticed two older guys bringing in their bucket of nostalgic records to sell. Grabbed a couple of free tickets to a Revolution Live concert and a Pure Honey magazine. This place is a nice addition to the downtown Ft Laud area.

Avoid Gold and Bags Pawn Shop -- Untrustworthy and Unprofessional…read more I had a very disturbing experience with Gold and Bags Pawn Shop that I feel obligated to share. I submitted a Rolex watch through their online form and was contacted by someone named Taylor, who began texting me nonstop -- even on a Sunday -- urging me to bring the watch in. We scheduled an appointment, but when I arrived, he wasn't there. After a delay, he eventually showed up. When I asked him directly how much they were offering for the watch, he refused to give me a straight answer, only repeating that he wanted to buy it. It felt evasive and unprofessional -- classic high-pressure, bait-and-switch tactics. When I decided to leave, things took a disturbing turn. He refused to open the door. I had to raise my voice to demand that they let me out -- which is not only unacceptable, but also potentially illegal. This was a complete waste of time and an extremely uncomfortable experience. I will be reporting this business to the appropriate authorities and warning others: Do not trust this place.
