From the reviews

I love this store! I’m so happy they are offering online ordering with curbside pickup. They always have unique items that nobody else in town carries. Some of my favorites are my bat and my doll head!

★★★★★ — Deja, May 2020

This is a great place to pick up... well some dark aesthetics. Everything in here is really cool with a small but impressive record collection. The staff are friendly and real helpful. The prices are all reasonable.

★★★★★ — Traveling, Dec 2019

This place has an incredible selection of unique one of a kind items. The owner and staff are wonderful. I highly recommend this shop.

★★★★★ — Ronda, Aug 2025

This place has a good selection of records, and a fantastic assortment of taxidermy, specimen, oddities, jewelry, tarot/spritual supplies, and much more. Overall a very well rounded oddities shop that probably has something to pique your interest! Worth stopping in and exploring.

Selling or trading gear at HAIL - RECORDS & ODDITIES

HAIL - RECORDS & ODDITIES 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.
