Grasshopper is one of those shops that wrecks of unwarranted entitlement. The prices are well above the average, I wish I had written some down, but I fled as soon as I saw Janet Jackson’s Control on the coveted wall. That was over a year ago, so I will return to polish up the review if anything positive has occurred since.
And selling bags of vinyl where I have no idea what is in it… whatever. Skip this one.

Don’t go there to sell your records. Owner offered $ 10 in cash for 6 albums that his store would sell for $ 55. That’s not fair at all.
Their selling prices are stupid.
Example:
Janelle Monae Electric Lady.
Their price (used): $ 28.
New on
: $ 32
Example 2:
John Legend Get Lifed.
Their price (used): $ 50.
New on
: $ 41
People keep saying they are good for harder to find stuff. So what? Everything is easy to find on discogs. Even with shipping it’s cheaper than this place.
They posted a sign outside saying everything in store was 50% off but then this discount only applied to lesser quality records. The higher quality records were 35−40% off and it depended on how much you bought. Really misleading.
It’s a shame the owner was such a scammer. The staff were actually quite friendly.
Place also reeked heavily of weed.

Ludicrous prices set seemingly at random by an owner who seems completely out of touch with what used vinyl is worth.
Who would pay these prices?

Dropped by for a look earlier today.
Huge selection and hard to find titles,
i was not impressed with the prices. Found a Spanish Pressing of Sticky Fingers for $ 200, saw the same at a store on Queen St for $ 30.
A copy of the Beatles Blue album for $ 120? the average price for a copy is between $ 15 and $ 30.
Do they pick numbers out of a hat? Good luck with that. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Shop around, a lot of great stores in the downtown core with great prices, just do your homework.

Amazing record store! I have found an amazing number of gems in this place! I think one of the best places in Toronto.

The place is small and filled with used records for good prices.
I was able to score a bunch of classic hip hop for around $ 5 a record. My only complaint is the selection is lacking in part in being a smaller store, and there was really a complete lack of good funk and soul music regardless of their size.
I’m glad I stopped in and scored a few gems at good prices, but overall left a bit underwhelmed and won’t be rushing back unless already in the area.

Grasshopper Records is cooler than a cucumber salad with ice-​wine dressing.
How Grass has SEALED copies of completely out-​of-​print and rare-​as-​fuck vinyl is beyond me. The display wall by the new releases is chock-​full of wax any collector would be proud to own. Being a record collector himself, the store owner knows what other diggers are looking for.
I’ve saved tons of money buying from Grasshopper instead of paying insane ebay pricing and shipping costs.
Thank you.

This place is great for harder to find stuff. Never have I come across such a cool selection of records. The guy that runs it really knows the prices for stuff, but I do find it more on the steeper side than «what a score!»
I will be back, this could be my new spot for hard to find gems.

Great record shop. I just stopped in and ended up taking home a Flying Lizards record (which I love.) The owner was there and he steered me to the original pressing version. Definitely going to go back!
