That is the right way to monetize collecting.
WOW! These places are like a big toy store! Love it!That’s great, keeping the gear in rotation. Here are a couple pics from Tomssound in Birmingham AL.

You bet! Sharing is what the hobby is all about! Maybe some MA Akers can check out the place.Well if they are going to advertise audio equipment for sale they should think about actually carrying some inventory
That is quite a "store-full" of decent stuff. That Kyocera stack is sweet...thanks for sharing Glenn!
I highly doubt they're selling much of it. The Pioneer "system" at $3,000 is a laughable.
You would need to have a very visible location, good reputation for working gear, and have savvy marketing skills with social media so sell on all fronts.I wish the rents around here were sensible enough to allow a business like that to survive. The stuff is here but no way can one make a living with a shop like that. I’d totally open one if I had a large lottery win behind me to pad the losses. I miss that kind of shop!
Even Stereo Exchange had to give up their second hand biz a while ago. Most of the guys in the city rack the stuff in their personal space and operate on audiogon or eBay. I follow quite a few.You would need to have a very visible location, good reputation for working gear, and have savvy marketing skills with social media so sell on all fronts.
They had a lot of scratches, and had warps too!Those records are going to get dirty if they store them on the outside wall of the building like that.

Calling it laughable is being out of touch with reality of a storefront with sales and enough service to be able to supply working gear.
