From the reviews
Excellent store. Massive selection, wide variety. Great prices. Helpful and friendly staff. Already planning a trip back.
Great store. Tons of old and new records on multiple levels. I drove from Buffalo to check it out. There was even a cool cat that lives in there who was just as friendly as the staff. Highly recommended.
Let me start out by saying this is one of the best used vinyl shops I have ever been to. If not, the best. Always loved visiting this store in college. Great selection. Great condition variety. The bargain bins are hit or miss, but you get what you pay for at 3 bucks a pop.
I checked this place out after seeing Charley Crockett at the Empire Live. I was pleasantly surprised to arrive here and dig through their bins for a couple of hours. They have amazing records and the sections are easy to navigate.
Selling or trading gear at Last Vestige Music Shop
Last Vestige Music 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.
