| Id ask how regular they would go.......lol.
I dont wanna piss on your mates' bonfire, but round here almost all the shops that sell music have shut. Theres only musiczone and stuff like that, and an occasional obscure rock/indie/punk shop.
A lot have tried in the last few years, but each one has closed through problems with the internet and ebay too. You see, you cant compete with large stores when it comes to well known and even semi well known artists and labels, especially Cd's, but increasingly records too, and if he wanted a 'classics' section, he will find that people will tend to flog stuff on ebay rather than take them in to the shop.
Theres only one relatively new one thats opened up thats stayed open, but its purely HardHouse and white labels etc and sells decks and needles etc, tapes from Maximes and whatever plays hardhouse these days, in other words a close niche. That can be hard to balance the intrest for, and you have to carefull of fads.
Im sure all of on here like rooting through shops when we find them, however for bread and butter punters coming to the shop regularly I think times are ever harder.
So Id ask how often they buy, cos they may buy £100 of gear a month, but only one month a year.......
