  • You can tell when the owner writes his own reviews. The language and attitude seems to be something the owner cannot control and comes out in spades no matter what. This is a fair size store but no means huge or even large. By Vegas standards its probably the best selection. I've been to much larger stores in smaller towns and far larger stores in most cities. Not that bigger is better, just putting things in perspective. Most of the reviews here are on the mark. Nothing is priced. Their excuse is they are so huge and have to much stuff to price in ever changing markets. That gives it all away right there. The store is not that big. Much larger stores have everything priced. Priced to market? If you hold on to albums so long the price might change significantly then you must not sell much. Albums don't shoot from $10 - $20 under a decade. Anyway, I have met this kind of guy 100 times at record shows. Dealing with them is easy. If they get to abrasive you just walk away. Its his store and he can do whatever he wants with it. Getting upset about it is pointless. I found his prices indeed high. I told him what I would pay and that was that. Yes he comes out with the sales tactics and he will even border on getting personal. I simply don't take things personal and didn't go away empty handed. No screaming deal nor did I overpay. Which is fine as its a retail store after all. There were other items I would have bought but the prices were so ridiculous that making an offer was pointless. One other guy was there when I looked and he got a ridiculous price for his stack of common albums. He walked. Which tells me the owner sizes people up. I don't think that's wise as you never know who someone is. But again its his store and if he wants to judge people then so be it. That guy walked whole the owner asked him to make an offer. To the customers credit he just said "at your prices there is no point but thank you" and off he went. Which is the choice we all have. I would say if you visit try a few selections before wasting to much time. See how he prices them and decide is you want to continue looking. I would also warn to take a close look. As other reviewers mention, he has reissues selling as first press and mismatch covers. For instance I found a few albums still in shrink but with promo saw cuts. The shrink however was in tact. Shrink was put on after the saw cut obviously. To his credit conditions seemed pretty good on most. A few albums I looked at were a little worn/lighlty scratched for me. But I didn't see any basket cases. If you are going to shop here you must know your prices. I didn't find anything particularly rare so the no pricing thing in my opinion is just laziness. Here is my guess - he's done alright and this business is how he fills his time. He doesn't care who buys what. Chip on his shoulder? You bet. Not the way I choose to live my limited days but again - its his life, his business. There are lots of record stores and record shows all over the country. I have yet to want an album I could not find within 60 days and at a decent price. Its just records. I choose to have fun with it. Some give themselves heart attacks like this guy.
