From the reviews
I love the way the new store looks like in Duluth. The walls look great and the music makes it feel alive. The vinyl is the cleanest and highest quality I've seen in awhile especially compared to other local businesses such as Globe News.
The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helped me get everything I needed for christmas. They have used c d's and albums as well as brand new albums. Great location. Nice atmosphere.
Love this store!! Great selection of books and great deals! Nice staff, too! Stop in and browse!
I've been a customer since 2020 and love their prices on vinyl and know they will always be in great condition because, they care about quality. I stopped shopping at Globe News because a lot of the records there are scratched and usually need a good cleaning.
Selling or trading gear at River City Records & Books
River City Records & Books 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.
