AN ICON FOR RECORD COLLECTORS 5/11/2011

I am responding to the pinhead who wrote in poorly constructed English the comment about Forever Young & CD's. I've been doing business with Forever Young for 20+ years and can tell you with utter certainty that the owner forgets more over a cup of coffee every morning than that critic does or ever will know about music, business, credibility, merchandise, customer care, responsibility, or life in general. Forever Young isn't just a warehouse of product, it is an entire group of warehouses full of the most amazing accumulated tangible side of music history you could ever dream of. As far back as 10 years ago I saw a stack of boxes outside their office almost to my chest and about a block long full of already out-of-print CD's - used, new, promo, all basically mint, near mint, or still sealed. The pinhead who prompted this review can't imagine in his pathetic wildest imagination the sheer volume of CD's involved. The store needs to pull the wool over the eyes of customers like Carter needs more pills. It's ridiculous. The only change I have witnessed in 2 decades is the exponential expansion of both floor space and volume of product available. Forever Young is the physical manifestation of the owners' love of what is contained on that unbelievable mass of records, CD's and memorabilia. Don't forget those 1,000's of well-organized cassettes! For knowledge, experience and reliability, this shop and these folks are easily among the Top 5 in the entire world. I guess when you are at the top of the mountain there will always be some crackpot at the bottom inacapable of dealing with it. Pay no attention to that fool behind the curtain. Forever Young is the real deal. more

forever young in reality a rip off 3/19/2010

thank you no eveything about forever young think again.lets talk cds there are quite a few promo cds being sold as new. this rips off off the person buying them the record label and the artist. the artist gets nothing from the sale of promos.if you sell used import cds he sells them as new. nothing you can do are say makes this right.when you sell lps to the owner dave exstrom he will rip you off if he can.used cds that are beat up they use a buffing machine to make them look good all that does is harm the cds. the amount of promo cds being sold is staggring.this is nothing new it has been going on for years. the store at one time was run fairly no more. sad to say they get away with the things.if you dont belive me check deeper. Pros: none anymore Cons: plenty more

Organized and unpretentious 1/13/2007

Unlike some of the other nominees (BILL'S comes to mind), Forever Young isn't a dump and the folks working there don't sport the ""I am so cool and you are a moron"" attitude. Easy to get to, and plenty of parking. If they don't have it, they will try to get it for you. more

Best place to find rare old records 12/3/2006

This place is definitely worth the trip to Grand Prairie. They've got any old, rare, discontinued, or import you could want. Pros: Lots of selection Cons: Big warehouse atmosphere more

    FAQ

    Q: Does Forever Young buy and trade CDs, Music DVDs, and cassette tapes?

    A: Yes. The times to bring these items in the store are during any business hours except during the first half hour and during the last half hour of the day. We must have the time and the cash to take care of buys for the items you would want to sell. A half hour is usually enough for both.

    If you have a high volume collection to sell please come during weekdays after 12 noon and before 8pm. You may not leave the items you are selling and come back later to pick them up unless authorized by the manager or employee on duty.

    Q: Does Forever Young buy records or collectible memorabilia?

    A: The store owner, David, is the only one who can purchase your collection of Vinyl or memorabilia. His normal buying hours are:

    • Wednesday 10 am to 5 pm
    • Friday 6 pm to 10 pm
    • Saturday 3 pm to 6 pm & 7 pm to 10 pm.

    David does not buy Autographs on a regular basis. That is not our business and isn't easy to verify the authenticity.

    If you do have an autograph you want to try to sell then bring the best proof of authenticity you have and he will evaluate whether that is enough for him to buy or not.

    David is not usually interested in classical albums or Readers Digest collections.
