Wow those used prices are quite ridiculous. Looks like another case of someone not understanding vinyl grading and marking everything at the most expensive price regardless of the shape or the pressing. Nice selection though. Looks like they want to keep the inventory they have. And, yes that listening room is very cool. But I think I would have come out of there with the same results as you did. Depending on my mood, I may have even mentioned the prices to management or someone, but it probably wouldn't make a difference. Anyway, at that shopping trip could be considered successful in that you didn't have to pay their kooky prices.
Mike, it is always easy to have a great selection when no one can afford to buy it lol. I just don’t know what people think. And then he grades it on the tag. Clearly the person does not seem to be a collector
I appreciate this video. These guys had killer stickers at the expo. I have not made it up to Arvada to scope this place out. That said, I am always annoyed by un-sleeved vinyl at record stores. Especially when they put stickies and price tags on the cover. That makes it look like junk vinyl. I guess it depends if you want pristine or just a playable copy. As someone already said, thrift store quality indeed - and I won't be in a hurry to get up there (unless you saw some cool KISS stuff I missed lol).
Rob, with the prices they were charging you would expect it to be sleeved I understand albums under $5 not being sleeved but after that it is only a couple pennys to do that. Nice place but I really didn’t understand the prices
Wow, fun place, not so fun prices. Last week I listened to Abba's Voulez-vous now I see it in so many videos! I met up with two family friends today, was gifted 4 albums from his collection 😊
Great video Steve! I totally get it. I've been to these kind of stores and I wonder the same thing. How do they come to these prices? Some of the records you showed I can easily get for $1 or $2 bucks at my local record store here in AZ. In my 5 years in Colorado, my favorite was Twist & Shout and there's another record store in Fort Collins called Bizarre Bazaar that I like. There was another one in Denver but can't think of the name of it. I'll let ya know if I can remember lol. You may have been there already.
Todd, I would guess the other store in Denver was Wax Trax. I have been to both a few years ago. I have been trying to highlight the smaller stores. Just saw a great one in Colorado Springs. I have not made it to Fort Collins yet. There is definitely some crazy prices out there that make no sense
What is the deal with those prices, I thought you were looking at the dollar or cheap bins until I got a look at the tags. And they graded and described every record in such detail, too...no clue what is going on out there Steve!
good lord that was insane. Those are $5 records at best, in that condition especially. Makes me feel a little sad for the owner. That store won't be around long I guess.
It does make you wonder doesn’t it Dom. How did they come up with these prices? At least they wrote notes to explain why they were so rare and collectible. Very helpful for a new collector lol
$23 for "The Best Of Bread"? REALLY? I've seen that in dollar bins over the years...prices are ridiculous...for pete's sake, people need to come down off their cloud and get more realistic prices back, because it's gonna cause the whole vinyl bubble to burst if they don't....nice place, good tour..thanks Professor!
The prices! Someone should tell them about Discogs median 🙂Weirdly, I have been in a similar place, and found that what should be really expensive records were priced like the others. So, there were bargains, in a strange kind of way.
I was not finding those obscure cheaper prices. There seemed to be a thought that all records should begin with a price tag of over $20 even if the cover was falling apart. I didn’t even bother to check the vinyl Brian
Steve, those prices are ridiculous. I get what you're saying in the comments you leave on my channel. I've been in New York City visiting my brother for the holidays, and I've been shocked at the prices here. The quality isn't that great, either. I'm talking about used records. I've had better luck at home, and the prices are dropping. I'm having great luck with new vinyl at retail outlets.
No kidding, prices are dropping. It has just gotten insane at places I visit. Generally discogs with shipping is cheaper Mark. I definitely found better deals in MI.
Hey Steve. Wow (again), lots of seam splits, ring wear and water damaged covers. What are they thinking with that pricing? I might be tempted to offer $5 per record and see if they bite.
Those prices are just criminal. But the biggest laugh was the note on that Taiwanese bootleg of Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 saying "OG label"! Uh...no. I wonder what these people would do if they ever got a genuinely collectible record.
Michael, I have seen so much of this type of insanity which is why I film it. People think because it’s a record and they know the group it’s worth a fortune. I wonder if I sold my albums to them if I would get that kind of premium price?
Great Deals in CO seemed like a myth, a dream, something that just would never happen. I finally found a place Brian, a Unicorn! And yes, they do ship to Maine
I really like Emmylou Harris but I would sell every single one of her albums that I own for those prices. Electric Cherry may also be completely revising the definition of "Rare." Sad to see that, even in a store where the prices are stratospheric, Dan Folgelberg records only fetch 4 bucks apiece (though that's still 4 times the usual price for them).
Hello Steve; Talk about price gouging. A 75% off sale on all used records would help. 😠The consumer pays for the annotations stickers on the LP's. Santana's sand desert Caravanserai should be given away free to browsers. Many of these records are generally outside as free to .50 cents. Take care, 👫TnP
Yeah I was shocked what I saw in regards to pricing. And they go to pop up events. I had to keep showing albums just so people can see the insanity that is out there.
When I do the conversion Mike those price are insane!!! And they're in shit condition. Also thanks for keeping with the theme of godawful music soundtracking your flipping 😂Reminds me of the record store with stupid prices that Jack Vinyl Martini & I went into in the Gastown area of Vancouver. They had everything you could want & they wanted everything out of your wallet too. Better luck next time. Cheers...Mike
It’s amazing how some places have all kinds of great albums Mike and in order to make sure they keep all those great albums they Jack up the prices. I always thought retail was about trying to sell merchandise, maybe I have been mistaken on that thought.
@ Mike, I worked in retail when I was young & they definitely wanted us to sell the stuff. Maybe that record store is run by rich pranksters who enjoy the humour in seeing people’s excited faces when they see the records quickly turn to shock when they see the prices. Rich people do strange things Mike, like get into politics so they can change laws for their own benefit. You know zany stuff like that.
Yikes. Looks like they need some help getting that selection organized and priced to actually sell. They had some okay titles...like you I don't get the pricing strategy.
The flag over the door was my first red flag. I feel like if they don't know what price to use they default to $36. Any record over $5 needs a outer sleeve. Thank God the Fogelberg's weren't $36 but they were still too high.
It is the first time I saw Emmylou Harris albums up towards $30. I was wondering if I should sell my albums there as they seem to be a lot more valuable then I thought they were Brian
@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 He means the progress pride flag that appears on the thumbnail outside the store, because today's moral guardians who are crusading against the LGBTQ+ community are calling it "the alphabet flag". And please tell me, I hope your channel is a safe space for LGBTQ+ people, because this is supposed to be talking about vinyl records, not the LGBTQ+ issues going on today.
pOOR CONDITION AND OVERPRICED FOR MOSTLY RECORDS NOBODY WOULD WANT. Must be a hobby cause you wouldn't run a business like this. I heard they tried to put all the Bluenote lps in the rubbish container but it ran up the street screaming about cruelty.
Peter, I find these prices all I’ve in thrift and antique stores. I guess they really don’t want to sell the records. I need to get some more Blue Note just to show you them my friend
Insane prices for really beat dirty looking mostly common records. I cannot imagine that the vinyl was cleaned and sleeved. They couldn’t even muster nice clean outer sleeves?! They don’t seem to know what they are doing. Have a feeling that store won’t last too long!
Damn prices are crazy. I’m heading to Asheville today and go on the hunt. Take care art
Damn crazy is right....
36$ for the best of ELP? nuts... buy the cd used for 3.
I find these prices all over the place Art, I wonder if they sell anything?
Hey Steve. Great video. Crazy prices is right! Cheers
Bobby, Mile High City with Mile High Prices

Hello, my dear friend Steve!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!
Like 45👍. Very nice!
All the best!
And have a great week!
Marisha.
Thank you. BTW I saw you video playing movie to Meet Joe Black. That is one of my all time favorite movies.
Hey Steve. Well at least the next time I visit Arvada I know where not to go, which is just as important as knowing where to go. Insane!! Cheers.
Jack, when you come to CO you will be well versed to where to and not to go. I’m making the definitive guide on CO record stores!

I was excited you showing a new store nearby I didn’t know but holy crap those prices are insane.
lol, Thijs, I saved you the time of checking it out. That was a lot of space dedicated to overpriced records
Wow, fun place, not so fun prices.
Last week I listened to Abba's Voulez-vous now I see it in so many videos!
I met up with two family friends today, was gifted 4 albums from his collection 😊
You are a trend setter Morten, you listen to some ABBA and everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. It was a fun place but prices were confusing

Pretty wild Doug, so much info on the the labels so you know you must be getting a great album for an awesome price!
Thrify store quality, Discog premium prices....yikes!
Crazy wasn’t it Steven, I just don’t get what the thought process is
good lord that was insane. Those are $5 records at best, in that condition especially. Makes me feel a little sad for the owner. That store won't be around long I guess.
It does make you wonder doesn’t it Dom. How did they come up with these prices? At least they wrote notes to explain why they were so rare and collectible. Very helpful for a new collector lol
Steve those lift tickets aren't getting any cheaper 😅.
Thanks for the tour 🙂.
You're gonna have nightmares for a while.
No kidding Greg, I had to keep flipping just so everyone could see the insanity of pricing
Wow. That stuff was expensive.
It was pretty crazy Andy, I sure didn’t get it
Electric ⚡️ Cherry 🍒 is a good name for a record store. Be putting my dealers hat on & offering them about 25% of what they are asking.
David, even at 25% off them prices smacked of complete insanity
$23 for "The Best Of Bread"? REALLY? I've seen that in dollar bins over the years...prices are ridiculous...for pete's sake, people need to come down off their cloud and get more realistic prices back, because it's gonna cause the whole vinyl bubble to burst if they don't....nice place, good tour..thanks Professor!
This is what happens when you legalize marajuana TC, people get high and then price everything high to match it lol. I have been to some insane places

Russell, when you come back to CO we will bypass this store lol
I’m sorry you are going to so many shops in Colorado with high prices. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Mile high city, mile high prices, lots of people walking around high, yup, high is what this city is all about lol
Those prices are just criminal. But the biggest laugh was the note on that Taiwanese bootleg of Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 saying "OG label"! Uh...no. I wonder what these people would do if they ever got a genuinely collectible record.

Cheers☘️
Great Deals in CO seemed like a myth, a dream, something that just would never happen. I finally found a place Brian, a Unicorn! And yes, they do ship to Maine
I wonder if they ever actually sell any records?
Danny, that was my thought also. They didn’t get any money from me

Yeah talk about false advertising Darrell. It was hard to not break out laughing on the prices. Blame it on legalizing marajuana, everything got high!
Yeah, one price fits most all - $36!
No kidding Chris, and of course for $36 it was beaten and torn Crazy stuff
