Stopped by around closing time, the owner Greg was nice enough to let me in anyways since I knew what I was looking for. I ended up walking out with not 1, but 3 vinyls. These are all brand new, selection is near endless for any music type. I've never seen such a diverse selection in a shop and he keeps it pretty organized. Prices were great, really competitive with online so why bother! Stop in and support your local business.PS- Great location for Mac Miller fans !

One of the best record stores that I've ever been to hands down. Found this place totally by accident while walking to a burger joint. Figured I'd go in after grabbing a bite to eat. Was extremely happy I did so. They had an incredible amount of goodies any music junkie would drool over. Had everything from vinyl, CD's, tapes, box sets, blurays, DVD's, and plenty of other cool trinkets (for instance, their votive candles featuring musicians and other pop culture stars). Found absolutely everything I wanted and more. Store employee (a young woman whose name I can't recall at the moment) was also incredibly helpful. Plan on stopping here every time I visit Bowling Green in the future, which will hopefully be rather often.

It's a cool store with a large selection, but they're a little overpriced. I hope they can find a new owner, and they don't go out of business.

Cool music store with vinyls, CDs, t-shirts in the college town of BG. Used to have a Finder's in Findlay, but went out of business years ago so cool to see one of these

If you're an audiophile or just plain lover of music then Finder's is Nirvana 😎...tons of music from all different eras.. genres and countries. Vinyl lovers rejoice...Finder's has aisle upon aisle of records. I did notice that the business was for sale; if so I hope the new owners keep Finder's in it's current location. Finder's has been a Bowling Green icon for over 50 years... please don't take that away 😎

Great selection, they have a lot of different albums and a abundance of cds. They also have record players. The aisles however, are not very wide. When it's crowded it's hard to move around.

not only do they have the best record selection i have ever seen, but they also have the best employees i have ever met! i had an issue with one of my records and they were so enthusiastic and went above and beyond to help me! i truly appreciate the help they offered me:)

This is the very definition of an outstanding record shop! Their vast selection of music from all genres, styles, and genres will surely please all listeners and collectors. Also, those thinking about shopping there should disregard any reviews that chide them for "high prices" because that is simply an inaccurate criticism. Amazon can occasionally sell cheaper stuff because their employees are wage slaves and robots. Finders employees are helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about providing the best possible services experiences to their customers. And, nine times out of ten, the prices are equal to or lower than those at Amazon.

This is the rarity of a Music store. One of the best around for years I was able to find what I was looking for and then some this is a little gem in Bowling Green I cannot be missed by any audio file person they have all kinds of records CDs tapes anything you can think of I Recently was told that the owner might be wanting to retire I hope if he does sell he gives it to somebody and they keep the tradition on This place is one of the best place you could ever go to for anything music and I hope it stays that way for many generations

One of the best - if not THE best record store in NW Ohio. Incredible selection, always hard to leave, always hard to not spend multiples of what I intended to spend...

You won't find a bigger or better selection of CD's and records anywhere! They also sell cool T-shirts and if you wear them into the store you get a dollar off your purchase. Plus, the store itself has a great atmosphere that any music lover will enjoy and feel home in.

This is such a truly unique location, expecially in this day in age. I couldn't believe the amazing selection or classics to new albums and some very rare items as well. They have nearly everything you could ask for, and if they don't, I'm almost certain they can order it for you. The staff was friendly and willing to help. I would recommend this location to all music lovers.

This place is a gem, a real treasure of great music finds. I’ve been coming to this place since I was a college student in 1980 and it just continues to get better. I have to stop here every time I’m in town. I introduced my son and my daughter to this store and both are fans. This will forever be a very special place!

Finders dates back to the early 70s and is a must-shop location for those visiting Bowling Green. It is also a place to make the trip to Bowling Green to shop at. For those who simply like music, it is the kind of place and experience that used to be common until digital music began to choke the life out of brick and motor stores.Under the same ownership since it opened you won’t find a better staff or selection of new vinyl records as well as CDs. Turntables, parts, headphones and other supporting hardware can be found here and special orders of anything are welcomed.I’ve read that some prices are considered high, but if I find one CD for a few dollars more I find three others that much lower. Tee-shirts, posters, incense, and more is also always in stock.

Great record and CD store. Very good selection of new and used music. The only reason I didn't give this store 5 stars is because the used cds are in alphabetical order as rock/pop. So if you want to find any metal CD's you have to scan through every single CD to find them and there are a lot. That is my pet peeve with music stores, not breaking down rock music into it's different genres and subgroups.

They always have a wide range of records and CDs to choose from. I love shopping here.

Holy Poe Ditch! This is the place to go to if you are in the NW Ohio area for music. One of the best new vinyl selections that I have ever seen. Over 40 years in the same small college town location and it just keeps getting better.

I found a leftover lp from the Record Store Day. I didn't think there'd any left(Billy Joel lp). Also the staff was friendly.

Awesome place. Aisles are small so its a little awkward trying to navigate but the selection and sheer amount of stuff they have is amazing.

Vinyl Fever was the name of Tallahassee's one-time premier vinyl peddling outlet. It has long-ago closed shop. I understand we have another shop on Gaines St., but I've never been.Nonetheless - this is about Finder's. What a find. They have it all.This comprehensive record store provides vinyl of all genres.Why can't TLH have this level of vinyl outlet? Seriously?Good on you, good citizens and wayfarers of Bowling Green. You're endowed with a gift here. Don't overlook it!

Order the album(s) you want and the staff delivers within 2 weeks, or less. Awesome for over 50 years of business.

Great at what it is, a large selection of new vinyl. The best in ohio. They seem to stock everything and it will all cost well over $20. If you are looking for used, it isn't there. If you are looking for bargains, it isn't there either.

Finders is pretty much an independently owned music superstore. They may not be the coolest, hippest, hole-in-the wall record store, but they have a really big selection of new vinyl and tons of cds. I have found a few out-of-print titles on the racks at original, if not discounted, retail price. They regularly lower their prices to move inventory and have a pretty big selection of red dot discount records, as well as RSD leftovers. You can browse the store without feeling like some store worker is looking over your shoulder. I've been to all the record stores I know of in Toledo and some in Ann Arbor and elsewhere, and Finders is my favorite.

Tons of stock in an older, but well maintained downtown BG building. The downside: there's not much in the way of discounts, especially since they stopped carrying cutout and used CD's and records. If buying hard-to-find music is the paramount consideration and the price is secobdary, this is you place!

Went to return a vinyl record i recieved as a gift in xmas eve, there was no damage and unopened, but the representative refused to refund me any cash despite the fact that i told him i needed money for rent. He kept an attitude in his tone with me acted immature and was unprofessional. I do not recommend buying anything from this store that puts value before its customers!!!!

They always have my favorite albums either on vinyl or cd. And if they don't have it right in store they can find it and order it for you to pick up in store. Great service too (they also sell insence, candles, guitar pics, headphones and store merch)

If you enjoy music, which I think is most people, Finders is bound to become your go-to at some point. If they don't have it, they'll get it. I've gotten everything from obscure ambient music, classic hair metal, comedy CDs, and math rock from this mecca of audio entertainment. I'd give it six stars if I could.

Old time feel of a music store. Staff is helpful and knowledgable on stock and wiiling to help see if item can be ordered if they do not carry it in their store. A little cramped in areas but well worth it for selection and prices
