Record store: Doomed Records

My intent was to be a largely "extreme metal" store since that's my wheelhouse. But realized quickly I'd need to be better for foot traffic.

So jazz is one of my stronger areas outside of metal. I have a premium bin of new and used for the higher end titles, and about two full bins of general used jazz.

Modern pop not a major strength, but if you're into classic pop / new wave got about a bin and a half of chock full of used.

If you peek at my Instagram (doomedrecordsri) I do a flip through of new and used new arrivals each week.

I have worked out some solid relationships with voracious scavengers, so I feel pretty confident my used prices are a bit better than just being in line with Discogs. For new, I juggle about 5 distributors looking for best price. If I can't be either less than or damn close to AZ I pass on a title. Can't justify an $8-$10 discrepancy just because I'm local.

My name's Eric, it's my shop. Let me know when you're thinking of visiting and I'll toss you 10% off for making the trip. If I was looking to get rich, I wouldn't have quit Oracle to do this 😂
