Best Features of Record Stores (and Why They Matter)

[@VinylLatte]

Fun episode! One to add to the list is adding Goldmine grading on used records-and actually follow the grade. It would save buyers so much time and build trust with them.

Your right Louis V - not many stores use Goldmine grading - I only personally know one store that does it loyally and that’s The Music Exchange in Tampa 😁 - that’s for your comment- will catch up with you soon!

This was kind of covered, but I think organization is important. I do kind of like the thrill of going through unsorted boxes not knowing what you're going to find, but it is nice having an efficient way to find what you're looking for if you're looking for something specific. What would be nice is if they had a digital catalog of all their records that you can search. When the store gets a record in, they can add it to the database and store it away in the back if needed.

@@TempusFugitMementoMori13 YES almost like a card catalog at the library- that is a great idea! Thanks for watching and for your input S.M. ❤️😁👍

Great comment! Some record stores already do that. Would be smart if more of them did!

Such a fun episode! If you ever open your dream record store, I’ll need to rent space next door for my bookstore!

How about a service where you bring in your records and they clean them for you 😊 - good topic btw - thanks for sharing!

Nice idea. Phil's store in Wilson NC does that I believe!
