What's on the wall
“I vended with them for several events like Vintage in the Zoo, and I can say they’re very well loved.”
What players say again and again
“Been coming here for a while and decided to review after a trade in.”
“I’ve shopped on weekdays, RSD and online and no matter who I talk to, they are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.”
From the reviews
Hmm, where to begin. Satellite not only has an extensive collection, but reputable DJ’s running the joint. They have appraised several collections for me & know their stuff. In addition, I’ve done logos/flyers/art for them over the past handful of years and they pay me beyond fairly & are great to work with.
I've found many excellent rare records here over the years and continue to come back for more. Staff/buyer does a great job of keeping fresh stock rotating. Extra points for providing a listening station to preview records before purchase, and extra extra points for their generous loyalty rewards program.
When I come to Kzoo, a trip to Satellite Records is always warranted, and for good reason. The place is warm and inviting thanks to the hospitable staff, and you’re always bound to find something because of the constant stocking going on. Not to mention the prices are very competitive and selection is incredible.
I love coming in here every time. The vibe is always right. It feels the way a record store should, great music spinning, people chatting, laid back environment for gem hunting. Staff is sweet and knowledgeable and won’t try to sell you anything. The hours are later the way god intended. Shop here!
Selling or trading gear at Satellite Records
Satellite Records 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.
