48.0. "Who buys from the Maynard Record Store ?" by SERPNT::SONTAKKE (Vikas Sontakke) Thu Feb 19 1987 12:49

    How does he stay in the business?  Is that a front for some covert
    operations?  What does he *really* sell? 
    
    Along the same lines, how does the Beauty Shop, which sells expensive
    perfumes stay in the business?
    
    It seems as if only restaurants and the Paper Store do reasonable
    business in Maynard.

48.1Record storeBEES::PEARCELinda PearceThu Feb 19 1987 14:4311
	If every other teenager in town goes in there as often
	as my daughter does, I'm sure they will stay in business.

	The Santoro's also play in a band and do construction.
	They remodeled Mannings pharmacy and did a bathroom
	for a friend of mine.   They do very good work.

48.2Too rich for meUSWAV8::KINNEYThu Feb 19 1987 17:416
    OK, now we know how they stay in business. They are very pricey.
    I simply wont pay the regular price. I look through the 3.99 bins
    though. Never found anything worth buying, but you never know.

He has the best everyday price on Compact Disks for miles around, usually
$13.99 or $14.99.  He had a pretty good turn-around on a special order too.

(For that matter, he has the ONLY record store for miles around.)
48.4seemed expensive to meNATASH::WEIGLTurboferrets - racing for answersMon Feb 23 1987 20:1010
    
    re: .3
    
    $13.99 or $14.99?  Hate to say this, but those are barely competitive.
    The majority of his stock is higher than that, seems to me - especially
    anything classical or jazz.  You can get a better deal in Acton
    at the store next to Folsom's on Rt 2A (forget the name).
    
    Ah - saw you had the word "everyday" in your note - that MAY be
    true, actually.  Who pays list for these suckers?
48.5SARAH::P_DAVISPeter Davis, X-NYerMon Feb 23 1987 20:167
    There are two other CD sources of note in the area:
    
    	The Minor Chord, in the mall on 2A in Acton, and
    
    	The Acton Music Center, on route 27 right near the bridge
    	and the Feed and Grain supplier, in what used to be called
    	"The Pink Church," until they painted it blue.

I bought CDs there - they were cheaper than most places.  He seems to have
raised his prices lately...

48.7Very expensiveUSWAV8::KINNEYTue Feb 24 1987 16:199
    Seems like everything I want is 16.99! And thats if I find what
    I want. Maybe he's having a sale or something lately. I haven't
    been in there in a couple weeks. 
    
    The Acton Music Center just started selling records, tapes and CD's.
    They have color coded priceing which I find annoying.

Okay, I haven't been there since mid-summer.  Apparently prices went up.
