Rude Owner/Scratched Records:
Almost every album I checked were scratched well-beyond their presumed value and questionably playable. Ask about the price and you'll either have your intelligence insulted or insult the owner with your "HOW much?!" reaction.
I did both -- didn't buy the albums (which were priced without a glance in their direction), and had a surprising argument with the owner, which confounds me to this day. He just started an argument on the spot, as though he could care less for my business. It goes without saying that I'll never shop there and would encourage any savvy shopper to avoid this place, unless you're in the mood to argue with the owner (which I admit, has it's charms as a study of outrageous and arrogant human nature.)
All said, I can deal with bums like this if the price for the vinyl is at LEAST fair value... or for chrissakes NOT this scratched.

Editorial Reviews
Owner, Sanders Chase aka The God of Vinyl, ain't no record flipper. He has passion and extreme knowledge for what to find and hang onto. Music trends be damned. 8 Tracks came and went, so did cassette tapes and now even CDs are relics of the past. Vinyl is here to stay and stands celebrated at The Record Collector. Boasting itself as the only store in the world to sell only records with an...
Going beyond the typical indie record store, this vinyl museum encourages collectors to take musical history home with them.:
In Short
Hand-lettered signage and classic hi-fi equipment scream ""authenticity""--which is what this vinyl vault is all about. All 3,400 square feet of this space bulges,...
