Record store: A Gal Named Cinda Lou

Hi, I'm Jim, the record buyer at Cinda Lou's. I focus on records with high turnover potential for resale, particularly rock records from the 1970s and 1980s, although I also consider other genres.

How do you grade and inspect the records?

I grade records and their jackets by sight, checking for marks and warps. Records must meet a minimum of VG (Very Good) according to Goldmine standards. Some mono pressings may be exceptions.

What is your policy on trading and payment?

I do not trade for store credit; I offer cash or a check, depending on the size of the collection. I'm a tough grader because I want to maintain high-quality product on the shelf.

  • I'm in the shop on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from noon until 6:00 PM.
  • Record dealings are done by appointment only on other days.
  • I make house calls for large collections.
  • My phone number is 614-432-3201. Please do not call before 10:00 AM.
  • It's best to schedule an appointment before visiting.
