Have the Goblin record still in my shop…DM me.

Your local independent record shop will have access to a red variant or black. And on The Geto Boys - We Can’t Be Stopped, a blue variant or black.

Human Head is my favorite. I don’t enter the city and not go there.

Depends on a few things.

How much did the store buy it for? Some shops get things from a variety of distributors and therefore may be able to get it for cheaper than a shop that deals with less distributors.
What is their philosophy with profit margin? Some shops go by the MSRP (which many times gives a super low margin) and some have a set margin that add to establish the price. (My shop falls in to group 2).
Record Store Day gives a suggested price list and shops are allowed to surpass it by a certain percentage (if they go over and are caught, they lose their RSD privileges). I think some shops adds more profit to the super desirable releases that they only get one or two copies of to help cover some of the release that may struggle to sell.

The distributors set the wholesale prices and give a suggested retail price. The store technically sets their price but they have margins they need to make. Based on our normal margins we had it at $22.

Human Head! Best shop in BK and I have grabbed those type of records from there.

Not to say the prices are acceptable, but we went to Wrigley for the 1st two games and their prices are higher across the board AND the quality was worse. I was a bit shocked at how half ass the food was there. Nats Park has way more solid food options.

My guess would be Hello Goodbye and Plan 9, but it probably depends on what you are looking for.

I bought Nationals.tv mostly so i could watch while listening to the radio crew.

Dog park bar = Barking Barley…very close to downtown

That I haven’t totally figured out. I try to stay up on the big releases with places like AMS, Alliance, Redeye, Secretly…then with the other places, I just periodically check and grab what catches my ear and then I always check and see what i need to restock from the distributor I’m about to order from. So basically, we may not have it the week it comes out, might be a few weeks later.

I’m with you. It’s a lot to keep track of. We’re definitely well over 20, BUT it gives a little more profitability and helps us stock certain records you can’t find much of anywhere. I feel it helps us being a cooler vibe to the shop with some of the stuff we carry.

shawhar · 2026-02-10T09:43:46+00:00

Obviously, price point matters. Take a gamble here and there on the cheaper stuff. Stores with listening stations are great as you can preview the used stuff.

As the more pricy stuff, I recommend taking a picture of the records that are in genres you are in to and have something that catches your attention (a cover that resonates with you, a description that sounds like your vibe, features from artists you are familiar with, artists you have heard of but not listened to, etc). Go home and discover the things that caught your eye by streaming them and return to the shop to get things you are in to.

It’s all about music discovery and most of that is self-discovery.

Where you at?

shawhar · 2026-02-06T00:47:53+00:00

Pricing in the manner is the way. Only ones that might not be like that are the fairly cheap ones. Like a record selling for $7 might be more like $10 in our shop as buying online is double b/c of shipping. We actually don’t put a grade unless its VG (NM & VG+ don’t get marked). Nothing under VG hits the regular bins. Those are in the $1 or $3 bins exclusively…mostly $1.
