From the reviews
New to the area and started checking out the local record shops and I was lucky enough to find this place. Let me start by saying, EVERYTHING HERE IS PRICED!! It is amazing! The store is clean and very well organized. The staff gets an A++ for friendliness even stopping to ask if I needed help finding anything.
Have been to St. Pete's several times, now, and have always had a very good experience. The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly & helpful, and the store (and adjoining furniture store) provides a relaxing and apropos atmosphere for some SERIOUS record shopping.
Totally epic shop for records and vintage furniture. A genuine variety for all. Very fair prices and clean establishment. Must check out. Highly recommend.
Let me start by saying I'm really not one who feels the need to write reviews. That being said I can't tell you how amazing this place was. We were in Florida on a vacation and happened by this store on a fluke, and I am so happy we did. They had a very nice collection of records, but I'm not really one to judge that.
Selling or trading gear at St. Pete Records
St. Pete 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.
