The amount of records he has is endless (not to mention there are cassette, CDs, equipment/other electronics) We walked out with about 7 new vinyls and didn't spend more than $20. He has an expansive catalogue and let us know he is always adding to his collection. So happy we stumbled across this place and we will definitely be back! Can't wait to bring friends and family here when the visit us.

First, I will say I took the offer. I had asked for recommendations where to sell my record…read morecollection. I was told how honest Raspberry Records was. I totally disagree! Recentky I spoke to someone who said he should have looked thru them to see what I was selling . Never did that. First I was told how bad the covers were (Title). He never went thru any of them with me. When I was asked how many there were, I'd say between 125-150 albums. Years 1950-1985. So after being told how honest they were, I did accept the low offer. I was then shown by this person the value of some of my albums. I was totally lied to!!! Don't believe them. He also laughed when I said if there were any treasures in the collection it'd be nice to get something. He laughed. Sorry I sold them. Beware!!!!

Even their $2 bin has albums that are VG+ and there are plenty to grab that will likely fill your bag. I found they have lots of rock/pop but also several jazz so it's well worth the trip.

The store was packed with a ton of different records and it was nice to take some time to look through a ton of different genres. The quality of the merchandise was great, but a lot of the items were a bit overpriced in comparison to some other record store we have been to. Overall, not a bad shop! This is definitely a place to stop in at if you are looking to pic up some vintage records. They also have a ton of different items to support local bands.

Luckily, my wife came up with CBug's Records in East Windsor. Our transaction went as smooth as glass. First, I sent an e-mail to see if CBug's was interested, and soon Chris mailed back, saying he was. We arranged a date and a time, and since his store is on the second floor of The Vintage Shops collective, I called him from the parking lot and he walked down to check out the goods in the trunk of our car, packed into three boxes. While he was doing that, I took the opportunity to check out his store, and I gotta tell ya, it's a music junkie's paradise. Everywhere you look are LP albums, 45 singles, cassettes, eight tracks, and a ton more of very cool music memorabilia. I had a brief discussion on price with Chris, and he made me a very fair offer that I was thrilled with. My experience at CBug's could not have been any better, and I gotta give a shout out to Chris for his courtesy, professionalism, timeliness, and fairness.

The price's are great. It's a fun store to hang out and an explore. Andrew can order items for you. There are also special release records, a vast variety of 45s, a section of bargain lps and CDs. It's in the old Crane's factory, which is a piece of history in itself. Andrew invited me to his next record show. "You've got to come." He said, giving me a flyer with a smile. "You'll love it." If you love music, be it vinyl or CDs this is the perfect place to come. Enjoy exploring

That's probably the only negative was (imho) the prices are high. It may be the neighborhood.

Owner was real friendly and not pushy which is always a plus. I will be back on my next trip to the area.

I've had a blast selling off my old baseball cards (my kids don't want them) locally and on-line, A few months ago we also sold off our stamp and coin collection, except for some commemorative Canadian coins minted for the 1988 Calgary Olympics. I contacted KC's Gold, as well as a coin dealer in Toronto to gauge their interest in those Olympic coins. Fred from KC responded right away but his Canadian counterpart never responded after two e-mails. How un-Canadian of him!! Anyway, I visited Fred today to accept his very fair offer. The store is awesome, with baseball cards, coins and vinyl LPs everywhere. Fred was one of the very nicest shop owners I've ever met. He was a real pleasure to work with.

While many are fine, Grey Matter, Troubadour, and Federal Street Books in Greenfield are the three I return to again and again. Now that Troubadour and Grey Matter merged their stock (sort of), this has really become a can't-miss stop. If the Montague Book Mill is "Books You Don't Need in a Place You Can't Find," Grey Matter is "Books You Don't Want to Miss, in a Location that You Might." I never have enough time to check out all I need to check, and I always come away with a great find, and a great deal. Add to that the quirky humor and smarts of the owner and staff... Oh, just go!

As other Yelpers have stated, this store is packed with "inventory of every genre and subject", but just nothing for me. On a side note, I'm almost happy I didn't buy anything here today. The clerk was sitting at a desk right near the front entrance, no acknowledgement of me entering or leaving the place. Would it hurt you to say, "Hello" ? Sorry, lack of customers skills irks me a bit. Anyway, got back in the vehicle and headed to the next Used bookstore !
