What's on the wall
“They sell collections, collectibles, local artists, records and even some CDs.”
“Used bins are well stocked with a great rotation of new stuff all the time.”
What players say again and again
“Jon is incredibly knowledgeable, his selection while modest compared to some of the larger Rochester stores, is excellent!”
From the reviews
Locally owned. Great selection. New and used vinyl, CDs, and cassettes. I challenge you to find a more knowledge staff.
I went for RSD and the line was short and moved smoothly. Great staff and I won a T-shirt. Woot woot!
Nice store. It's small, but has a nice selection. It was nice to chat with the owner. We will stop by again when we are in the area. Check it out!
I arrived in Canandaigua, NY to check out the town a few hours before this store opened. After checking out some of the other stores, it was getting hot, so I went to the waterfront to cool off and have lunch.
Selling or trading gear at Canandaigua Record Exchange
Canandaigua Record Exchange comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
