LOL. Yeah, I believe you. If it's any consolation I'm pretty sure all stores were like that back in the day. I know Buddy Rodgers was just as bad if not worse.
Those were the glory days of music retail (for the stores). They just worked off of retail price. I remember when we finally got a Guitar Center and being amazed at the prices and the selection. I'd never seen anything like it. I liked the place so much I ended working there for 4 years.
There's a LOT I miss about the old days. Cincy's local music stores aren't one of them. I do however very much miss the classified section in the Enquirer and garage sales. Back in the day you really did have a chance of finding something unbelieveable but the internet and specifically Ebay ruined that.
