“Got some new stuff but my favorite part was definitely the used section, found some great deals but also some cool stuff I'd never have picked out otherwise.”
From the reviews
Awesome record shop with a huge selection of all genres Used and New! Staff was super kind and helpful
At least once a month, I like to shop at Seasick Records for several reasons. 1. The selection is top notch with an abundant variety of different artists to choose from. 2. The shipping and packing of records is simply outstanding! I reached out about an order this morning and had my email answered quickly. 3.
My son discovered this unique record shop online. We travel over an hour one ways my teenage boys can buy records here. The environment is laid back and the staff are helpful. They have tons of records from many different genres. We love this place!

Selling or trading gear at Seasick Records
Seasick 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.
