Had the greatest time here a few weeks ago! Great selection, well organized and fairly priced. Krazy Bob is a riot and the place is a full experience. We need more fun people and places like this in the world. Can’t wait to go back! Re:negative reviews, can’t please everybody I guess, especially grumps.
Lol, there are some VERY and I mean VERY accurate descriptions of what you might experience at Krazy Bob's written here. It may just be me, but it didn't really bother me. I can tune it out. If I had a choice, I wouldn't live through it, but I "get" the shtick and can out Krazy the best of em. Just be equally loud and focus on what you are looking for. I can handle it, I can see how it may be off putting to some, but let it be known, the KRAZY is not a gimmick. A VAST array of CD's and records and tapes. Awesome selection of comics, plus you get freebies after you buy. ALSO an awesome little Dachsund sits behind the counter. He came and visited us and we love him. I found great stuff.
Had an incredible experience at Krazy Bob's. I could understand how his antics might repel some, but if you have an idea of what you're getting into, you'll have an amazing time. I don't think I've ever met anybody like Bob before. He has a vast knowledge of music and art and will happily help you find whatever you're looking for, and even make some recommendations based on that. I spent about an hour and a half in his store and had a smile on my face for the whole duration of my time there. Let Bob joke with you and joke back with him and you'll have a great time! Decently priced records and a mind boggling selection. Wish I lived closer so I could go every week. Thank you for the experience and the laughs, Bob!
This place isn’t just a Record Shop, it’s and experience. From the minute we approached the door it was like stepping into a carnival atmosphere. Bob is a total character, he greets you with such excitement and enthusiasm. You feel like he’s truly happy you’ve entered his little shop of wonders. We will 100% be making another pilgrimage.
I went to Krazy Bob’s store to check out the music selection there. I brought my two boys with me. Like most used record stores there was a large selection of music but most of it of little value. There were thousands of records just gathering dust. Regardless, my one boy was looking at his phone while I searched through the store. The short older gentleman who works there told my son to put away his phone. Whether my boy chooses to be on his phone or not is not for him to decide. This was rude & now they have lost three customers. Way to go Kramky Bob.
Highly Eccentric Bob's Music Emporium is an unusual place to visit. It may not have the selection you're looking for - though I did find a stack of early/mid-80s vinyl - but you're not there for the collectibles. Take your Ticket. Don't lose it! Take a ride with Bob. It might be couples therapy; it might be a team building exercise; but it's not just a record store. Now you know.
As soon as I entered the store, I was greeted with a charismatic, eccentric and bewildering introduction by Bob himself. He let myself and the person I had entered with choose a card, as if he was pulling some sort of magic trick before welcoming us to find our way through the store. With an introduction like that, how could we not give him the time of day and look through the vast collection of music before us? I must say, at first I found it a little difficult to navigate and attempt to find what I was looking for, but I soon came to realize that the store was set up this way in order to allow you to search through the music and maybe come across a hidden and reasonably priced gem. I can understand how this experience may not be for everyone, but genius is not always easily understood. If you're in a rush and can never take the time to stop and appreciate life, this may not be the place for you. But if it is, you'll most likely come out with a very positive and memorable experience thanks to Bob himself. Under his eccentric and comedic personality is someone who is very passionate and knowledgable about what they do. If he likes you, he may even throw in a gift and valuable life advice. You wont find an experience like this in any other music store in the lower mainland. It's a great place for a date as well, as long you aren't afraid that Bob may outshine your own personality.
No. I just say no to some angry antifa clown preaching at me for 10 minutes in hopes I'll flip a twoonie his way. If people want this, good for them, enjoy. However this guy spills himself onto the street, plugs in a mic and talks at people trying to visit other merchants. Crossing the line. Very opinionated guy who is clearly sad and pained, seems uncomfortable is his own skin and I dont blame him. All the more reason to keep himself in his hole not forcing others to decide what to do about him. No idea how this store makes money. Tries to charge people $2 to enter his store but only if they first tolerate a speech. The only entertainment is watching their faces turn from "oh this could be fun ... to what the ... to OMG this guy is crass". Bob checks ID for kids and allow "no minors" without parent. This reeks of court order. Can someone not be around minors? I've heard rumours, be wary.
Been there a few times, try to get there when it firsts opens in the morning. Nice and quiet until the owner shows up. He is a Krazy Bob for sure. Couple of times I was ready to buy a few comics, but basically ignored at the cash register waiting for the song and dance show to end on some new customers that were just entering the store. Thats ok, I get it. Didn’t realize he was charging people $2 to come in. Its a strange concept. Every time I have gone he either complains that I brought a small flat bag in with me to put my purchases in or that I was in the way. Prices were high. One item I purchased was miss-priced, told me that someone tampered with the sticker. Ok, sure, but seemed to think it was me. Repriced it based on a price guide. Still bought it because even though he did raise the price a bit to suit his arrogance, it was a decent deal. Last time was the final straw. Went in with bag in hand when the store opened, nobody hosting the door, came in. Saw the bag in my hand and then chastised me for not checking in. I left, telling him that he is questioning my integrity and that I wont be back. He handles customers poorly, IMO. If you like this sort of thing, ok, but will no longer be a paying customer.
Do you know the movie " High Fidelity"? You know, the one where John Cusack is an entertaining, cool, and talented record store owner. Imagine shopping for an album there. Pretty cool hey? Now go to Krazy Bob's, spelt with a K for extra craziness, and you will experience the complete polar opposite. A Carnival sideshow barker, I'm assuming Bob, lurks at the entrance and accosts all comers with a deck of special cards. He demands that you select one as he goes in to a Manic and long winded explanation of the process of shopping within the cluttered labrinth, all the while peppering his spiel with nonsensical observations, uncomfortable references, and denigrating assessments of his clients' personal characteristics delivered in a deafening and constant barrage of sound that eradicates any vestige of tranquility one might experience whilst perusing his wares. After I endured the mandatory flagellation from the tongue of Bob I scurried away and hid myself amongst the "P" section. I was in the store for approximately 20 minutes, and after enduring the verbal barrage that erupted from Bob every time he accosted patrons, and seemingly did so without taking a breath, I noticed that they all beat a hasty retreat through the hamster maze of the shop and exited the premises sans purchases. If Krazy Bob, spelt with a "K" for extra craziness, is intentionally tanking his business with the outrageous treatment he heaps on his clients, then he is well on his way to receivership, and an escape from the retail trade. Perhaps he should employ a Sign Painter and commission a more accurate title, say Socially Inept Bob's, or " Lacking a Social Filter Bob's", or " A Quad Espresso on an empty stomach Bob's". The experience shopping at Krazy Bob's, spelt with a "K" for extra craziness is the single most unpleasant retail experience of my life, and I have wandered the stalls of a flea market in 90s Bosnia during the Civil war. To say that I will never return to Krazy Bob's, spelt with a "K" for extra craziness, should be apparent to all who read this missive. Ironically I ended up spending $85.00 on albums there, but as a paying customer, and having endured 20 minutes of Bob's Manic Hyperbole, I feel entitled to leave an accurate and telling review. If any are foolish enough to darken The door of Krazy Bob's, spelt with a " K" for extra craziness, after reading this review, leave an update detailing your experience, and how you deal with the resultant hearing loss, and lowered self esteem. You have been warned. I thought I might add a further commentary on this posting. Google tells me that it has been viewed over a thousand times, and I have a record Twenty "likes". People must recognize the Truth I am presenting. As far as other reviews, the five star kind, they must be left by paid contributors, or people just off the pipe as the 3.9 rating is hugely inflated. In reality, it should be about a 1.9, and that's being generous. Keep up the good work Krazy Bob, spelt with a K for extra craziness.
