From the reviews
A very fun record shop! Great selection of new and vintage vinyl, cassettes, and CDs. Don't miss the arcade with both video game cabinet games and pinball machines!
Best record selection in town, best staff, and my son can play arcade games for HOURS for only $5 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Top 5 weekend spots for us 💚 #weloveyougreenelephant
We visited Dumb Records to play in their Pokemon pinball launch tournament. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly. They have a really nice selection of new & used vinyl, and some really cool Dumb Records merch! It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
Very fun! They had vintage records and new stuff! Very, very cool record store! August was very accommodating and friendly! Will definitely be back! From Decatur, and it was worth the drive!
Selling or trading gear at Dumb Records
Dumb Records 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.
