From the reviews

Must‑visit. Randy himself was the unexpected highlight for me. He was welcoming, and a walking encyclopedia of Jersey’s underground music history. After hanging out a while, taking in all the vintage board games, vinyl records, tapes, and CDs, he was soon sharing stories about the chaos of the infamous City Gardens…

★★★★★ — Corey, Jan 2026

I absolutely LOVE Randy and his Man Cave! Great selection of vinyl, cool vintage toys and a sweet venue for live music!

★★★★★ — Stephen, Sep 2025

Small but really nice record store. Great selection of vinyl, cd, and other vintage items. Saw a band there. Sound was great. Small but great place to see bands up close

★★★★★ — Bill, May 2026

Randy is the coolest. I never get tired of browsing his many many vinyls and CDs and other vintage goodies. Excellent local shop if you are a music nerd like myself

Selling or trading gear at Randy Now's Man Cave

Randy Now's Man Cave 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.
