Our Plan for RSD 2023
Our plan will be designed to try and make RSD as fair and fun as we can for everyone.
This will be many people's first RSD and we are keeping these customers, who might not know exactly how everything works, in mind, while still making it a great day for seasoned RSD veterans
Celebrating the Day
We will be open from 10AM - 7PM.
We are going to bring back our very popular timeslot reservation system from 7:30 AM until 10AM
No timeslot? No problem. While we can't guarantee availability on any particular records, you'll be able to shop RSD titles and take part in all of our deals and giveaways all day long. We are planning a really fun day for anyone into vinyl and music!
We are still in the planning stages of additional offerings we will have on RSD, stay tuned here and our socials for details as we finalize them!
Timeslot deposits
We will be open 10AM-7PM and limiting in store customers to make things comfrotable for everyone! Feel free to come by early to line up, our sidewalk IS covered
Starting 3/3 at 11AM will will be taking $10 deposits for a reservation for one of 5 timeslots from 7:30-9:55.
Each slot will have 12 reservations:
- 8 will be made available online and in store
- 2 of will be held for in store signups.
- The last 2 will be made available other ways, but will probably be doing something fun with them and saving some for newbies. Don't hold out for an earlier slot hoping to to get one of these.
Timeslots are 25 minutes each. Your deposit goes toward your purchases.
ORDER ENTRY PER SLOT WILL BE RANDOMIZED
Show up early for your spot and help out your fellow attendees! We will try and move the next slot in early if we can!
You may have one additonal person per slot, but purchase limits (see below) apply per timeslot.
Later times will NOT be admitted unless ALL of the customers in earlier times are done shopping or don't show up after 10 minutes.
If you don't have a reservation, show up at 9:15-9:30 and if we get done early, you get in early!
CHECK YOUR EMAILS IF YOU SIGN UP! THAT IS HOW WE WILL COMMUNICATE ALL DETAILS!
Purchase Limits - PLEASE READ THIS
THERE IS A STRICT PURCHASE LIMIT OF 1 of EACH RSD TITLE PER CUSTOMER/TIMESLOT
You can buy as many DIFFERENT titles as you would like (with few exceptions explained below), but may only purchase 1 copy of each.
Every year there are limited availability titles that will be highly sought after. In an effort to limit flipping we will "pink stickering" select titles.
These titles will have pink stickers and each customer/timeslot may only purchase 1 pink stickered record each at checkout. This does not limit purchasing of any RSD titles without a pink sticker.
PINK STICKER TITLES WILL BE ANNOUNCED HERE
So everyone knows my thought process on this, we have many people ask us "what is record store day?", which given how many new people have joined our ranks in the last year is no suprise. If you are signed up for a timeslot, this most likely isn't your first rodeo. For everyone else, they might not understand just how limited some RSD titles are. We set up the timeslot system to enable the more experienced collectors to get what they are really looking for and opening up the rest of the day for our newer friends to find some cool stuff on their first RSD.
As soon as Sunday rolls around, this limitation will be lifted.
