From the reviews
I have always had amazing experiences at Dumber Records! The staff is always amazing and there’s a great selection to choose from. It’s an awesome addition to the downtown location!
Nice selection of vintage and newer vinyl records and CDs. Knowledgeable staff. Complements their downtown Springfield store. Highly recommend.
Love this place, I definitely spend more time in this store than anywhere else in the mall.
Wow!! It really IS Dumber in here! Congrats on your record store, Mr. Simon White Oaks 💚
Selling or trading gear at Dumber Records
Dumber 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.
