I walked out with a haul of them for a good price like wow, how it should be. Also, lots of great vinyl in new and used conditions to check out and dig for. It's in downtown Downer's Grove.

The removal was quite the challenging job, which Brian completed without a single complaint. We found Brian to be a personable, hardworking and trustworthy person. We definitely recommend Brian and his company, We Buy Records.

Very nice and knowledgeable owners, Andy & Brian have the fairest prices of any record store in the…read moreChicago area. The best place to buy used records at a low price compared to other stores or Discogs. On top of that, they actually pay the most for used records. I'm always updating my collection and selling off various titles, (all in good condition) and at this point I have no need to look elsewhere. They've got me covered.

All at reasonable prices that won't kick the crap out of your wallet. The owner is a decent dude.

Interesting collection of used books and vinyls. There are new volumes of books and plenty of used…read morebooks and magazines. The staff will look up books to buy new for 20% off, too, if they are still in publication. The gentleman behind the desk showed us some special editions of some books. Although we could not buy them, it was really interesting to see. Good selection and genres are well marked so you will be able to find science or science fiction books.

This review is based on their record store day!…read more We went to three stores for record store day and this was the best one! We got free cookies and free "record store day 2019" if you purchased an exclusive RSD vinyl. There was a line out the door but that's common if the store is known for purchasing a lot of RSD exclusive vinyls. Once you made it through the line there were three crates to look through. Some years you luck out and find all the ones you wanted and sometimes you get to the end of the line just to find out that your top picks have already been snagged. That's the fun of it though. Looking forward to going to this store early next RSD.

If you're looking for lots of stock of new stuff this might not be your spot but if you want fairly priced used records then this is a great spot. I have found a lot of hidden gems in here over the years at both locations. In the past I've gotten nice vinyl copies of hard rock bands like Captain Beyond and Lucifers Friend for NOT discogs/online prices. Last week I got a sealed Weird Al cassette for just a few dollars and this album is not available on vinyl so it makes it extra fun. They are not trying to be cool or capitalize on vinyl - they just like and sell lots of music and media. Go support - Go dig!
