Collect Co.

Updated review!!! First, I am an avid collector of vinyl records. I wanted to check this place out as I happened to be close by, because I am always looking to give my business to local stores vs the big box stores. I was pleasantly surprised to find this store had a large inventory or pre-owned albums, and even a decent collection of new sealed albums. I immediately asked the woman who came out from behind the counter if there was a rhyme or reason to how they arranged the pre-owned records. She said no, it takes too much time. The "vintage" ones are over there, and the new ones are over here. Strike one, if you are going to sell used albums categorize them or at least put them in alphabetical order. So what should have taken me a few minutes to search through, took me nearly 40 minutes. I start browsing. I probably found 10 albums I would have bought. However, the prices were ridiculous. Way overpriced for suckers. When I asked about the prices, she started getting nasty with me. "These are all vintage and very expensive..." and continues to tell me about having to ship and collect the records, blah blah. So I pointed out that several of the records I pulled were not "vintage" but "used". I pointed out that had they been original or rare pressing they could justify some of the prices, but they were not. Many were more recent pressing that you can literally still buy new on Amazon minus the scratches and flaws. NO! they are vintage !! she insisted again. I told here our definitions of vintage was just different. She then insisted on getting some guy who she says "i pay alot of money to value these records" to come up. So he comes up (BTW super nice guy), and she just tears into.."this guys says our records aren't vintage!!" without me ever getting a word in. Long story, he agreed with me that they are pre-owned or used but "we call them all vintage". Fine, we can at least agree we are talking the same language. She then had a hissy fit about something being opened on the collectibles side of the store that shouldn't have been in front of a customer wanting to buy it, and he just up and left. Finished my browsing and left without buying a single album. Personally, very hard for me to do. It's an addiction for real. I will never step foot in that store again. Mostly because the lady felt empowered enough to treat me like that as a customer, but also in front of the staff. So, it is either her store, her families, or she has an inflated sense of her power. In this day and age where these shops are rare, and being squeezed out, you would think they would go out of their way to please customers and be helpful. Second, because the store is clearly mismanaged and can't even categorize its inventory and third the prices are just stoopid. they lost a few hundred bucks of my money walking out the door that I absolutely would have spent. UPDATE: I tried again. Same staff member was present, wasn’t very helpful. However, another staff member was there and explained that their best inventory was sold in the nightly online auctions and thats the stores primary focus. Disappointing to hear that as I personally enjoy flipping through records and finding the hidden gems. I was able to track a few selections down, and overall a much better experience. I also started watching the auctions, and saw what the hype was about. Great experience, bought my first item. What sucks is I now pay for shipping and Im competing with several hundred other bidders. I get this is their business model, and 300 online bidders is significantly more traffic than the 2-3 people Ive seen at the store at any one time. It’s clearly working for them. I just wish there was SOME incentive to buying in store. Moved from a 1 to 4 star. If the inventory was available in store it would be a 5.

I purchase records and CD's from the Collect Co. live streams on YouTube. My purchases are all in the condition advertised and the packaging is superb. Great care is taken to help ensure your precious cargo arrives safe and sound.

Collect Co. was fine. It had many different types of collectibles. I bought a couple CD's, a couple Pop figures, a vintage model car, and a Cola. It would definitely be a 5 star collectible place if the CD's and vinyls were better organized, but I get that takes a lot of effort and maybe isn't the highest priority or biggest seller for them.

Love the selection you have, when you walk in you feel like you are walking back in time. Everyone from the staff to the vendors are very nice and helpful. You can find everything from primitive, antiques, refinished furniture, clothes, and chalk paint.

I’m traveling from Denver, Colorado & have been so excited to explore southern antique shops- & was so delighted to find some items to add to my collection! They were even 40% off and the ladies working were so friendly. Thank you!!

Collect Co. is the coolest store for VINYL RECORDS for me!! I live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico but, I get my records shipped from them after I purchase them. Doug takes great care to make sure we all get our vinyl in a safe and timely manner. These guys are simply amazing at presenting a timeless product in great format of Live Facebook and Live YouTube sales daily. Except Sunday’s. The best customer service I’ve ever dealt with. Chad, Tanner, Doug and even Seth provide the best experience in buying vinyl. I hope to someday visit them in Lebanon, Tennessee and hopefully try those brownies I hear about! Thanks Collect Co! Rock On!! 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

I've been going to this business for years and I have always had nothing but respect and kindness from Julie or any other staff members. Maybe it could be you. I've never been rude to and I go there at least twice a week. Keep up the good job Julie and Chad.

I’ve never been to the store but I’ve been buying from their live Facebook streams since February 2025. Close to 300 LPs purchased so far and every one has been shipped quickly and securely and accurately graded. The live streams are the best and most entertaining I’ve seen.
