James Bradley has placed his Sound Fix record store up for sale — on Craigslist — for an asking price of $250,000. He tells the Village Voice he’s just “testing the waters,” noting working two jobs is starting to take a toll. While everyone’s always chattering on and on about the death of retail records, I think 2010 might be a better year than ever to jump at an opportunity like this.
It’ll be our generation’s version of antiquing in about 10 years, and stores like this, that were around long before the mp3 robots swam through your headphone cords and impregnated your brain with Steve Jobs’ cashseed, will probably become icons in a digital landscape.
Basically, what i’m saying is, if you and your group of friends can somehow dig up the money, this might be both a fun and worthwhile investment.
I love this store, i also loved the other spot with the bar behind it, buy a record and have a drink. Soundfix has let me in on really great bands before they were even on the radar. I hope you keep up the best of list when you sell.

I’m gonna bookmark this one for sure, thanks!
this is a pretty shite store…always has been….and the people working there don’t know anything about anything…….glad it’s going down….SEE YA, suckaz!
i remember the last time i went in there and asked them about a record, the asshat working behind the counter did a search on Amazon for me…..tools.
remember when fix opened and they sold video games and coffee? i thought that was pretty cool.
