Any if you guys have any experience ordering from this online store called The Record Cellar? Seems to be only online and out of Ontario, very odd mostly used stock but they have a few sealed pressings that are older and harder to find. But it's definitely a sketch website. Anyone ever bought anything from there?

Hey, I can actually answer this question.

Yes. I ordered The Beat from them a couple of months back. Overall positive experience. Came in good condition exactly as described. Brian seems very communicative too. They're legit despite the shit website.

Think he quoted me about $13 for shipping which...it is what it is...but no issues since it was still cheaper than tracking down a RSD or paying ridiculous discog prices. Paid the e-transfer and he shipped it shortly afterwards.

So yeah, go for it.

Has Short Stack come back in any way shape or form? I discovered their little place outside of Trinity Bellwoods way too late and was pretty sad they closed down, it was a neat little place you could score a decent amount of used records.

Yeah he seems great, it's already in the mail. Very odd website and stock but he seems to have some newer stuff that's still sealed but long gone from store shelves.

It looks like he contracted a company called Chameleon Creative to do his site. I'm guessing that was well over a decade ago since the link is no longer valid.

I think I tracked down their new site, and while better than the Record Cellar site it still screams "old". Their work is very amateurish, which is okay I guess if you're dealing with very small businesses.

I mean, I'm a professional developer, so I'm very snobbish about these things.

lol. I just looked through my old emails and sure enough, Brian is somehow still the only person on sympatico.

Dude couldn't sign up for gmail or anything? Is he 100?

It's all very funny. I want to buy more from him just because of how strange the store is. But I noticed today that he adds new stuff very frequently and it sells quick. So I think he's got a similar deal to Volver where there's a dedicated bunch of buyers who snap older stuff up very quickly from him.

So what is the link to the store? I want to see a website encased in amber for 20 years.
