Record Man

About

We are a mom and pop music shop. We also have antiques, collectibles, and jewelry.

Story

We have over a million Records in stock. If you have any requests please contact us on our website, give us a call, or send us an email. Our prices range in the 10-25 dollar range, but we also have Very Collectable stuff on the Floor. The second half of our store is called "Planet Mix" and we have a 5 dollar store in the back where we put our overstock as a section for those who are more 'budget oriented.' We also have a Parking Lot sale annually which usually happens in the Fall around September. *We are a used store and the primary section of our inventory dates from 1900-2010. Unless you donate or trade newer items we are less likely to have a large quantity of more modern titles. Please help us out!*

I liked the thought of looking through a million records initially as I walked by this place. I had to stop in. I was greeted pleasantly and given a tour by a woman and some dogs. After browsing a few minutes I noticed there were no price tags. When I found out about the 15 dollar minimum my mind short circuited for a moment. Did I hear it right? I did, I couldn't do it, I had to leave. I may be back but I don't know.

Wish I could give zero stars. The worst record store, no, the worst store I have ever been. The old man owner is the rudest person I have into in a long time. Had to step over two dogs, one a German Shepherd to get in. The German Shepherd growled at my daughter when she squatted down to look through a box. The owner did not apologize and locked the dog in another roon. The records are spread haphazardly across many dilapidated rooms, one with no lights. The records are not priced. When I asked I was told most are between $15 and $30. No help. Finally my daughter found a record she thought I would like from the box she was looking through. I asked the price. The old man said "that one is for the dollar sale". I said GREAT! He then said "You cannot buy it because the dollar sale is not happening now". I said okay, how much is is it now? He said you cannot buy anything from that box. I then said...well, the box should be marked. I then asked if they have any classical. He said yes, in the other building out back. I said "Another building in the back? Okay." We then went out the back door through their junk yard in the back to the other building. Well.....It was CLOSED. The jerk watched us walk out there and did not say a word. Needless to say, we walked around the building as fast as possible and got the heck out of there. This place deserves to be closed down. Don't shop there!

Great selection and good conversation. Values to be had.

Agree with other post that this place could be so great. There are some decent finds for $5 in the back - although I caution that many of these titles can be found elsewhere for even less. The front main store is disappointing. They look up the records at the register to charge you top dollar. The owner bragged about picking up the vinyl for next to nothing and claims to have shipping containers full. I suspect if people are smart that he will always have shipping containers full the way he does business. I don't blame him for being a capitalist however there are so many better stores in the Bay Area that care about collectors and music lovers and that are not trying to rip you off on every purchase. If you really want a record or two that they have or find one in pristine condition then maybe this store is worth it and it can be fun to look around - I am not giving one star for these reasons. I made the mistake on my first few visits of not knowing the values and spent a bunch of $$ as someone just getting back into vinyl. When I knew the values I went back for a record I really wanted that they had 3 copies. The owner wanted $30 for the record but I knew it was worth $15. I offered $25 willing to pay a little more for the convenience and trying not to low ball. The owner declined and this was after I had spent hundreds in his store the previous month. I may go back to check out the $5 store. Last, anything that is really rare, like 90s wax, is not to be found. They sell it online.
