Hardy Boys Records and Comics Camp North End

Such a cool record store & the nicest people. I was in the store last weekend and met Allison one of the employees, and she was so friendly. I had some questions about music cds so she provided the phone number to the owner, Dean. We had a few texts back and forth and I told my husband how impressed I am with how he handles his store business. When you’re in Camp North End, I highly recommend checking this place out. I just know my dad (may he rest in peace) would have loved this record store. Enjoy! Josephine Local Guide

Small but well ordered record shop with a good variety of pre-loved and new vinyl. The CD selection was probably the best I’ve saw in any other shop. The prices were not competitive with other stores but were still average. Very happy with our purchases.

Worked with Dean Hardy to clear out my late father in-law’s comic book collection. He was great to work with and very communicative through the whole process. He gave us a more than fair price for the collection and it was a very quick and seamless process. Definitely would recommend him and his shop!

Upon inheriting a substantial vinyl and comic book collection that I was not able to maintain, I reached out to Dean Hardy for some assistance. He came by my home, sat and talked me through his process and provided a detailed valuation of my vinyl and comic book collection. He provided the option of cash vs credit (towards vinyl records) and handled my request to buy a number of albums (sourcing, procuring and shipping). The whole experience was excellent and seamless. Dean was very helpful, patient, knowledgeable and made a difficult decision (selling my father’s collection) easy to manage. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Charlotte has a lot of good record stores to choose from, but this is hands down my favorite. The best trade in deals, great selection (and can attest from personal experience that if they don’t have something you’re looking for, they can help you find it!), friendly staff, and the store itself is such a vibe, you could just hang out in there if you wanted.

The Problem: how to offload nearly 1500 LPs while getting the most return on investment, without having to resort to selling on a certain online marketplace whose selling fees are nothing short of highway robbery, or through a certain music inventory site notorious for buying/selling scams. The Answer: Hardy Boys Records! I texted Dean my inquiry along with a few samples, and within one minute (no, seriously, one minute), he called me, very interested in buying my entire collection save for a few I’m keeping for sentimental value (sorry, Dean, but I kept my OG pressing of “Maggot Brain.”). We agreed on a very fair price, and in a matter of weeks, he took 99% of my entire collection and gave me some much-needed cash for my daughter’s college fund. I know Dean and his crew will find the records I once owned a new home. Hardy Boys is who you wanna call when it’s time to offload all those albums you’re not going to listen to anymore.

Good selection and great staff. Zoe was fantastic, really helpful, and generally just a good employee. Give her a raise! Will definitely be going back again for more.

Really cool location in Camp North End so you know it is always a good time! Wide selection of new and used Vinyl as well as CDs, and T-shirts. Very friendly and helpful staff. Prices are comparable if not better than online so why not support local! Grab a sticker or shirt to support them and spread the word of their awesomeness! Follow them on social media to learn about their events and concert giveaways. Really cool way to experience new music in our local establishments.
