Best CD Store Independence Near Me

Gary Welschmeyer: Great Books and great staff.

Chelsea Medlock: I enjoy browsing at Half-Priced Books. I never know what I will find there. The store is always clean and the staff is always helpful.

Walley Brown: Very organized price

Angel Barnes: I love this place, everytime I get paid I stop in because you never know what they will have in stock. I love that they have such a huge selection of best sellers and books you probably never even knew existed. It's a must for book lovers.

Karen Coates: I always come here when I am in town visiting family. I never know what I'm going to find, but I always find something great to buy. Thank you for eliminating plastic bags.

Kim Knox: So many books at great prices

Dolly R: Goede boeken en goedkoperDaar wordt je blij van

Paula Christman: Great place to buy books and they carry records too! Very friendly workers!

Zerelda Yocham (Shayia): One of my favorite places of all time! Although the prices are seeming to sky rocket recently. I guess it's a sign of the times.

Renee Adams: Friendly staff fair pricing

DwarfmanGaming “theDwarvenGamer”: The staff is super amazing every time I go in to sell or buy stuff there.

Sam E: Really great selection here and pretty well organized

Susie: Friendly staff. I was given a decent price for the books I was selling. And bought 3 new ones. I wish some of the sections had a better selection of titles, but overall it was great.

Tonya Bryan-Long: Best place to buy books. I don't care if they are used. Everyone is so nice and helpful.

Jamie Bruntmyer: Great books. At good prices. And they carry vinyle there too

Christopher Watts: Best hard to find book at a great price.

Alex johansen: I never leave with out an armful of books at great prices! I never pay full price for my books and I love the vinyl selection too!

Pam McCarrison: I just took a box of books to the store. I was offered $2.84 for the whole box.

Robert Bivens (Rob): Any time they got books for cheap it's worth going and checking out and if you go in the back of the store and there is more books than you can load into 5 SUVs so fill up get your fill of whatever books you like worth checking out

carl todd: Bought recommended iyem, ask guy about installation, said easy. Got home USBport not there, called store, no help, sent me to phone site, 4 hrs later, and 3 different specialists could not. Had to return to store, lady there solved problem in 5 minutes.

Mr. & Mrs.: Good prices and decent selection

Bill Champ: The customer service people were friendly and knowledgeable.

JAMES KING: Item I was looking for was out of stock

Sheck Welle: Absolutely amazing place 😄

Michael Dolan: It's a good store, my only problem with them is if you are looking for a phone accessory and your phone isn't an iPhone, or the latest Galaxy S series, you're just straight out of luck. That, and the sales person had no idea what prepaid long distance cards were.

Larissa Mitchell: Thank you Jacob for helping me find the perfect item to get my daughter!!

Karen Mansell: Got exactly what I needed and shopping was a breeze without pushy sales people but still close enough around if you have questions.

Ddarkest Knight: With in a reasonable amount of time I was able to find a most help employee who I would say went above and beyond to make sure all my questions were thoroughly answered.

Skip Allen: The sales person I talked to was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping me decide on which computer/laptop to purchase as well as which all in one printer to buy.

Niecey Beats: Clean

Samantha Shivers: Staff helped us find the perfect laptop! We chose an open box one that had been a display, and when we got home we noticed it had some barcodes burned into the screen. We took it back and they helped pick out a brand new one at no extra charge. Very friendly staff!

Manny: For the most part its as expected. Every once and a while it's hard to find an employee but everyone is nice and helpful. It also might be me but i remember there being way more aisles and stuff a couple of years ago? Idk but, pretty cool place!

Ryan Montgomery: Generally helpful and almost always friendly staff.

Ed Wood: If I wanted a laptop shipped to me I would buy it from Amazon. Why have a computer section if you don't have anything in stock.

Donovin Dunlap: they never really have anything i ever need in stock so i always have to order it or settle for something inferior. everytime i come in here the employees ignore me i have to track down someone half way across the store.

Quite Observant: Good people. Same guy who went on the rant.Hope I am wrong about this world, but the problem is over thinkers are usually right.

Scott and Amy Sheldon: Thank god bless you

Island Heat: We were there a couple of weeks ago, getting our computers looked at. Talen Joyner that works for Geek Squad was amazing!!! Customer service was on point. He was very patient, polite, & knowledgeable.

Beacon Light SDA Treasury: Daniel helped us determine the status of a long-standing order. He was kind and thorough. Thanks Daniel!

Gino Bueno: Staff was very helpful. I am happy with my purchase ☺️

Gina W: Their showroom floor was quite disorderly, low staffed, and prices were missing on about a quarter of the items. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, especially considering I drove 45 minutes to purchase an rlectronic piano keyboard. I was prepared to shell out $1,800+ but it wasn't meant to be. I know store owners are hurting for sales right now but without a knowledgeable, TRAINED staff member to coax me toward a quality keyboard, I had to choice but to take my business elsewhere.

Paul Walker: There's an awesome selection for every aspect of music and performances and helpful people! I love this place!

Uriah Jensen: Great selection and awesome staff with good knowledge. Always able to answer my questions no matter how obscure

Cloretta Lewis: Love Van! My son Isaiah is inspired by his piano teaching!!

Matt Higgs: Don't waste your time. Inventory is inaccurate, workers are lazy and unhelpful.

Jeff Cordray: Good service so far...

B. Jordan: This is my go to Guitar Center. The store is always clean and organized, has a good selection, and a staff that is friendly and informed. Special shout-outs to Justin, who is so kind and professional, and to Tommy, who helped me choose my most recent guitar- one of my favorites in my collection. Keep up the good work!

David Gardner: The people there were very helpful and very knowledgeable of what they sell.

Cooper Pritchett: Great selection. Knowledgeable staff. Prefect combo for an excellent customer experience. I recommend 👌🏾

Wendell's World: Great selection! Got a good price on a used ltd ec-256 . One of the employees was a little rude but not a big issue.

Jim and Tammy Hamilton: Won't sell guitars for price listed. Son tried to buy a guitar for listed price, but then they said can't sell it for price on sticker as it was wrong and tried to raise the price by $50.00. Asked to speak to managers boss and manager wouldn't share his info.???? So much for service and integrity.

Kathy Edwards: My husband always had a has a great experience here

DJ Pleasure: Great new lights

Luis Salas: Sweet

Tom Trudeau: Always have what I need

James Kelsey: Terrible customer service. The store manager denied me a military discount even after I provided proof of service. I’ve never had this issue with any other guitar center store. The staff is not knowledgeable about any products and they don’t even know how to navigate their own computer systems. It’s really unfortunate because this is the only music store remotely close to me and I really don’t want to go back.

Jeanie Baker: Had an emergent guitar repair need & a time constraint(here from out of state). Called and Jesper told us to come right in and he would help us. And he certainly did! Professional, super nice guy and so knowledgeable. We can't thank y'all enough for taking care of our need! You guys rock!

Rachel Silkwood: The two guys working were quiet but, friendly!

Tom P: Well stocked, well organized. I've been to a lot of vintage stock stores, and the majority of them are good but this location is the best

Anthony Underwood: Most disrespectful employee ever literally does t even acknowledge me won’t stop watching a tv show on his phone and pauses after scanning each game to continue watching his show

John Farrar (J. Stanley): This vintage stock is filled with a variety of amazing things and it's fun to just look through the isles collectables. Though I had a hard time finding Harley Quinn comics

Stephan Coleman: Best selection

Michelle Stilwell: Great service and help from management.

Kevin knox: Nice place a d a good place to get new and old games

Jennifer Gray: I wanna give a big shout out to Brent (Manager) at the Sterling location in Kansas City!!!! My husband and I saved up for awhile to finally b able to get our daughter a Playstation 4 for Christmas. And when we purchased one it didn't work....we were so worried at what to do...Brent made sure to make it right....and my daughter has her Playstation 4. She is so happy and so are we. Thank you Brent for making sure we could make our daughter happy 😀😀😀😀

Kim Sutton: I like this store because they are very nice and good prices plus they allow you to buy , sell, or trade .

brian benz: The best place for collectibles and rare finds! Found a Nintendo 64 last trip.

Kevin Smith: Had the tv show my mom was wanting. If you are looking for out of print dvd or cd give them a look. Nice selection of movies. TV shows CDS and video games!

Ben Moss: Great store for nerds and geeks alike! Great selection of pops, video games, and toys. The crew there were extremely nice and helpful. When I couldn't find a movie I asked the clerk Will if they had one at a different store. He never once made me feel like a burden. Michael was also a major help to me and made sure I was taken care of. All around a great place. Definitely coming back !

James Sanders: I go in there every few weeks thinking they might start doing more with sports and football more than others. But I collect all types. Every time I go in there is less than the last time I was in. Last time I was in there was a few stacks of videos covering that part of the cabinet. This time completely covered with stacks of dvds

Mojo: Terrible customer service, the kid seemed very apathetic, very little acknowledgement and won't even look at "you"...found a game online that said this location had in stock, first i looked myself and couldn't find it, so I asked him to help, after verifying it was in stock on the computer, he didn't even look at the products himself. "Oh you didn't see it, then must not have it, this computer system isn't always accurate." Wow. Decent store to kill time if needed, but I wouldn't suggest spending money there.

Anthony Ellington: Asked a question and the employee rolled her eyes at me and ignored me and walked away

Julian Heishman: The best store

Nick T: A great assortment of movies and games. Also found some nice movie posters.

Kenny Connors: I was stoked that I found a super rare game I had been looking for. The girl at the counter barely looked for it (I watched her skip multiple game packages in the drawer), the other guy at the counter did the same thing when he looked. The manager came up and asked what the issue was. We explained it to him, then he proceeded to tell me that this location wasn't his store and he wasn't going to look for it. The girl then proceeded to say that she wished the store would burn down. The employees are a bunch of knuckle daggers and mouth breathers. Save your time, go to the liberty store.

Tracy Johnson: Always fun to go in there and see/get some great finds. Love going to see if they have new "Cards Against Humanity" expansion packs (along with other versions of that game). Their movie selection is phenomenal, they're reasonably priced, always nice and friendly. Always get greeted as I/we come in. Can always find great birthday and Christmas gifts for my nerdy kids. (Lol). Their music selection is pretty good, too. This is the place to go for Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemòn Cards and used controllers etc. Very huge variety of stuff.

Sulema Gonzales: Big guy said he would check to see if another store had the game we were looking for. Continued to do what he was doing and never checked as we wait for awhile to see if he would.

nichole stewart: Went there 2 times the first time It was a great experience. Friendly walked out with sum money. 2nd time the guy took a hour on looking the cards up and when he was done he said 20 on 400 dollars worth of cards thats crazy. My man loves his cards but has to sell them because sumone stole our car out of the driveway we had the car locked and the keys no help from the police .

James Holmberg: Muzick Luvah nailed it.Hipsters have no taste yet they're taking over anything remotely connected to food, music, news and culture.

Jill Jerome: Drove 30 minutes to buy a $45.00 record with my very small children. My 4 yr old had to use the bathroom and they absolutely REFUSED to be kind enough to let her borrow their bathroom, even though I had just given them my business. So thoughtless

Laura Tessendorf: Great selection with lots of variety of music choices

Joel Vanderpool: I just started collecting Vinyl not that long ago, and heard about record store day and was pretty excited. Mills Record Company did not disappoint. They had the record I was looking for (How to Train Your Dragon 2 Record Store Day Exclusive) and all the staff was extremely helpful in lending me a hand to find whatever records I was in search for. I tried to get 2 Taylor Swift record store day exclusives but they wouldnt let me which I understood so I went back the next day and got another one for me seeing as the first one was for my niece. Mills Record Company will forever have my business. They were much better than another record stores I went to who was not helpful in the slightest and didn't have anything I was looking for.

Muzick Lovah: This is not the store to shop at. You will never see more than 5 people inside during the regular work week. It is only during events like Record Store Days where people line up and that is only because they are able to get the largest amount of copies to sell. If you have been on those days, do not be fooled and think that is normal for this store.Mills and its owner has gotten such a huge ego after being lied to and told they were the #1 store in Kansas City. They cater to one audience and one audience only and that is hipster music listeners and disregard all other customers. From hiking up prices, to not being knowledgeable on popular artists across all genres, the shopping experience at Mills lacks nostalgia and diversity.If you are looking for R&B, you won’t find it. Why? Because EVERY black artist other than jazz is listed as “HIP HOP” while blue eyed artists like Adele and Sam Smith take their place in the R&B section. Have a question? Yeah don’t bother asking anyone. Let google, discogs, or Amazon be your friends as no one here will answer.With the resurgence of vinyl records, you would think they would make sure that they are able to cater to every race, every genre, everyone period, but that is not the case. The owner lacks “soft skills” and I have seen people walk right out just because of it. I preordered a record before along with others I know and their copies were SEALED, yet I was sold an open one that they used for their instagram post and then they claimed they would never open a record. I told the owner and she rushed me off the phone and said “it’s either you return it for a partial return or keep it because I can’t get you another copy”Preordered another record that kept getting pushed back, when it was finally released, they didn’t look at the preorders and ended up selling my copy (that I paid for) and when speaking to the owner, she said “well I don’t know how I can get you another copy, I have other customers to tend to”.BAD customer services, leads to BAD reviews like this one. Do better! You are in the Urban core of Kansas City, yet far from URBAN and does not seem to care either. And I'm waiting for the owner to reply to this with a smart remark like she has others instead of changing.

Lyndon Smith: Make you wear masks in store, not complaining about that but it is the fact that said masks that they offered were disposable and have all been reused 🤢

josh jacobs: Not only is this place anti-science they are also very rude. It's a shame a business like this is in our community.

B C: Still requiring paper masks in 2023 is a hard no.

Candi Lion: This record store always has a good variety of albums and the staff is so friendly.

calder bischoff: Favorite record store in KC

Leslie Soto-White: The atmosphere, the vibe, the setup is simply perfect. This record store was the only one that had a record we couldn't find anywhere else. They had plenty of copies, too. We called ahead of time and they held it for us until we got there to pick it up.

Chandler Glasgow: Wonderful selections and knowledgeable staff. Found a lot here, it was great!

R L: Always good to check inventory via phone for me. Large selection. I don't visit as much as others in the area simply due to parking and the new arrivals are in a rack that my back won't hold out to try to go through (better for younger people or older thin people with good backs). Probably the largest inventory in the area.

Kelly Jordan: One of my favorite KC businesses! Always hidden treasure and used selection is very reasonable

Benjamin Spadt: Good selection. Helpful staff.

Brandon Norris: Covidiots still making you mask when transmission rates are low in KC. Anti science losers, and their selection is weak.

Brandon A.: Great selection but requiring masks in Oct. of 2022 was a little weird. Taking a star off for that.

Andrew Cochran: We stopped in here in the way back home to Milwaukee. The selection was amazing and the worker was incredibly kind and helpful. If we pass through Kansas City again, we’ll be sure to stop in again (though I think if we’re ever driving through the area in general, we’ll probably go out of our way to stop in).

Blake David: One of the best selections of curated new and used records for a pretty fair price. Employees are always friendly and welcoming. Could not recommend this place more!

The Thyroids: Absolutely huge selection! Rarities of all sorts for everyone. Cool staff people too :)

Jordan H: Friendly staff. Good vibes.

Chuck Simmons: This is a great record store. The owner Farron is kind, helpful, and knowledgeable in various genres of music. His store has a wide variety of new and used vinyl at fair prices. If you haven't checked it out I highly recommend you do

Bryan Harrison: Top notch service and a great selection highlight this relatively small shop. Both of the gentlemen I've dealt with there really have a lot of knowledge, and treated me very well. If you're a vinyl collector this is definitely one of the best spots in Kansas City to visit.

R L: Great record store, friendly staff and good selection.

Scott deJong: It may not be as large as some of the other used record stores but it has the absolute best selection in the city. Very friendly staff, as well. Good records, good prices and great conversation.

William Craig: Great little shop owner is very knowledgeable great selection

Eric Murray: Good selection and really enjoyed meeting the owners.

Moriah Makovec: I wish I had more money on me because I would have bought a lot more than I did! The space is little and cute but there is so much to offer!! it is very organized and clean so that you can go in and find exactly what you’re looking for rather than having to shuffle through a bunch of stuff. Albums that I can’t find anywhere else. I had no problem finding here. I can’t wait till I get paid to go back. Lol!

Douglas Edgar: Great Music shop in the Heart of NKC. Lots of New & Used Vinyl, tapes & CD's, swag, stickers, and sum vintage electronics! Definitely worth the Visit

Brian Pattison: Great vinyl spot. Used and New.

Jo Ann Groves: Friendly Pop run shop full of treasures.

Ron Watts: Crazy busy today. Proprietor was on site and very knowledgeable and helpful. I always leave with SOMETHING cool.

Andrew Stone: Very Nice Guy. I bought a fully restored Pioneer SX-780 and it is excellent. The interior and exterior are beautiful, it had been cleaned up and checked out and I have had no issues with it. Great Guy, Great Shop. Never have left without something cool.

John Craven: Great little hidden gem, just north of downtown. Great selection. Friendly staff

Tyler Greeley: I had my car stolen last year and with it, all the CDs I've ever owned. Faron has been working with me since to rebuild my collection to better than it has ever been. He knows his stuff and can make great suggestions based on what I like to try new bands/artists. My fiancé and I have also gotten into vinyl thanks to his suggestions. Only place we'll shop and a bright spot in NKC! We'll be back soon!

Robert Lanphier: Great record shop with knowledgeable owner...Faron

Michelle McDaniel: Tons of selection, cool merch, great staff.

Deborah K Langdon: I have way too much fun shopping here for albums and cds. Faron is very knowledgeable on music and extremely helpful.

Jamie Tilden: Wonderful smaller record store. They have vinyl and CDs, gift items like t-shirts, mugs, candles. Helpful owner on site. I will return and send others. 🙂

Bonnie S.: The place is tiny but great!! The music and condition of the vinyl are excellent, the person behind the counter is knowledgeable, and sometimes there's even beer! They have a bunch of stickers, and metal on vinyl has its own little spot. There's a whole room for CDs too. Definitely a place to check out for any music fan!
