*(1/5) biggest clown ive ever met
came up to me right away and asked me what i was after. i said just browsing and he told me i have no idea what im looking for. dude goes on about how he has the best vinyl collection in canada ahahah…best bootleg vinyl collection for sure. i usually dont write reviews but this dude got under my skin. next time im back ill have a word with him.
*(1/5) Very rude, and overpriced!!
Don't waste your time or money with this shop. Not sure this guy is in the right line of work as he forbids you from digging through his crates!!??
*(1/5) Pompous ass
Who sells vinyl and doesn't let you "dig"? This guy thinks he has the best selection selling new vinyl for 30% more than anywhere else is not "the best selection you'll see anywhere"
***(3/5) DO NOT BUY. Counterfeit Albums
Purchased 4 albums, only to find out they are all counterfeit/illegal records. The seller kept saying they were official, special editions, imports. DO NOT buy anything from this vendor. Shame on St. Jacob's Market for allowing illegal goods to be sold in their market. Not to mention the guy is extremely creepy. Always in your face, coughing without covering his mouth. Touching your arms. Talking like he knows all. AVOID!! Biggest scam running.
*(1/5) Beware
Copies are unauthorized, terrible quality bootlegs. Positioned as rare, hard to find, don't miss out. Educate yourself if you're going to shop here. Not all are copies, but I was burned and for a significant amount of dough. For me, never again. It did however force me to understand vinyl a bit better.
***(3/5) Bootlegs
Visited the booth he seemed to have some pretty rare records however after further inspection they were bootleg. He considered it a second pressing. Clearly not the real deal.
*(1/5) Why So Rude?
Visited the booth yesterday and was met by the owner who seemed friendly...at first. After I mentioned what I was looking for, he dug out some alternative, grossly overpriced records from the artist, so I politely said I would think about it and maybe come back later. He said nothing, made a face, and turned his back from us. Unreal. A very condescending, elitist individual that I wouldn't dream of ever giving money to after this.
***(3/5) Be prepared before you go
You need to do some research before you go. Know what you're looking for (a list helps), research average pricing on Discogs, and INSPECT vinyl and cover before you purchase. Closely. Know your vinyl gradings... there actually are fair deals if you're careful, or you can also make a horrible mistake. Be prepared to walk away, and if you think something's overpriced, make an honest offer. If he says no, again, just leave. Follow your gut instinct.
*(1/5) Never again
I reiterate what everyone else stated in their previous reviews. He is "not interested in people digging through his crates and wasting his time looking for collectibles". Buddy, you're in the wrong business. His precious records that he did show me are completely overpriced AND of absolute subpar quality. Do not waste YOUR time here. If you’re new to collecting records, stay as far away from this guy as possible.
*(1/5) Weak Selection
He carries some new records, as well as some vintage. If you do go, bring a wishlist as the crates are packed too tightly to dig (and it doesn't seem like he wants people to dig). Records are on the pricier side but i've seen worse. Also, he has weak knowledge of records and spews false information to make a sale. Not great for serious collectors.
*(1/5) Not what I was hoping for... totally disappointed!
He literally told me he had the greatest vinyl collection in all of Ontario right there in the booth, but I had to know exactly what I wanted since no one is allowed to pick through his crates. I rang off a couple bands and was met with a quick "No, because nobody asks for them and I don't carry "indie" bands". He was super condescending and basically gave me the impression that the only people that matter to him are his regular clientele. D-Bag!
*(1/5) Disappointed
I visited this booth today and was very disappointed in the way I was treated the man running it treated us like we were idiots and like he was gods gift to vinyl records in reality he didn't know nearly as much as he thought he did if your looking for good vintage records do waste your time with this fool
