What's on the wall
“The stuff that was new and used mint condition wasn't cheap, but they had a ton of "bargain" albums for non-collectors.”
“Great shop with nice and knowledgeable staff and a great selection of new and used records!”

From the reviews
Just a great local shop, Adam and Seth are unbelievably knowledgeable on vinyl. They have high end, vintage stuff. Everything is graded and completely transparent. These guys are honest and hard working. I go once a week, it’s my favorite store for sure.
great new location, same great selection of vinyl - and also just awesome to see the shop hopping on a Saturday afternoon! I'm a fan of most genres but especially jazz, funk and reggae.
eroding winds is the best record shop around. they are always so kind and welcoming to me, and always willing to help me find anything i’m looking for! it’s great to feel so welcomed in a record shop like this when sometimes i’m not taken seriously at other places because of the music i like.
Easily my favorite record store. Adam and his staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about every music genre, no matter how niche. They’re always happy to help me find special orders. An eclectic group of customers, from kids to hardcore older collectors.
Selling or trading gear at Eroding Winds Record Shop
Eroding Winds Record Shop 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.
