thepunkguy Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) I am opening up a brick and mortar store in NYC that will be specializing in collectable, rare and out of print indie / punk / emo / etc.. we're not opening for two months but I am currently looking for collections or valuable rare independent records. the store will be different from other stores in the fact that everything we will carry will be out of print. we will carry test pressings, one of kind items, along with some inexpensive out of print records .. please contact here . thanks. Kristian also for all those who care. we have an instagram set up.@limitedtoonenyc Edited May 30, 2017 by thepunkguy nyhi, kokiri, cemeterytapes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristian That sounds like a phenomenal idea. I sometimes want to find rare and cool stuff at b&m's but it just doesn't happen. Good luck! I'll have to fly over from Miami and check it out one day. thepunkguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texan4life Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Think you'll be open by mid August? Heading to Boston/NY around then and would fit a visit here into my agenda. thepunkguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just curious, so many stores have come and gone in the last few years in the village due to renter demands How do you think an even smaller niche market will survive? stl_ben and thepunkguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Awesome, interested to see how you guys compete with Generation and Turntable Lab. It's interesting how the NY stores seem to have a speciality. Been doing a lot of exploring since I moved here in March. TTL has great hip hop and jazz (although new). Generation has solid punk and hardcore. Academy is great for classical. So I'm hoping that you guys see success. I might have some things to unload for inventory. I'll look through my list and see what I'd want to part with. Best of luck! Looking forward to stopping by when you guys open. thepunkguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameslovesvinyl Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 What a sick idea! I lived in the Village last summer and I work in Manhattan... will definitely check this out!

I've been to Japan a few times and couldn't wrap my head around the idea that no one in the states sell like they do. It'll be exciting to see the feedback we get.
