Manifest always has what ever Im looking for each time I visit. I have been going to manifest since I was a senior in high school. Its the best place to go if youre looking for new or used movies, music and/or miscellaneous things like clothes, accessories for your phone or car. Manifest even have records of all types of music. When I lived in Georgia there wasnt a place like manifest I could go to for my movies and other things like that as far as like a music store. Whenever I would come home (Charlotte), Manifest would be at the top of the list of things I would go to. Manifest has something for everyone it just depends on what you like. The staff is friendly and always willing to help you find what youre looking for. Anyone who has never been to Manifest before or youre new in town, I encourage you guys to check them out.
This was actually my favorite place on earth at one point, they had it all. If anyone remembers the store ( Media Play) my special place 😊 Manifest is the only place I would have said was comparable. But lately & I guess a lot of it maybe due to the pandemic; their stock has been very limited!
I’ve only stepped into this store twice. I went on a friend’s referral looking for good deals on movies. The selection was great and I walked away spending a bit more than I originally intended on a handful of used movies. At that time I asked about the return policy and was informed that I could return my purchases for an even exchange so long as I kept my receipt. Note that the movies I purchased had no film over them outside of the typical store tags printed and stuck to the case itself. Excited to add them to my collection, I removed said tags but, unfortunately, was not able to watch them that night due to a family emergency that spanned three days. Days later, I found the exact movies for a much better price from a different merchant - so I bought them under the impression that I could easily return my purchases from this store. Today I stepped in to do just that only to be told that I could not return the movies despite having the receipt and it only having been just a mere few days ago. When I was asked why I wanted to return them, I honestly informed that I had found a better deal and simply wanted to exchange the movies for others of equal or lesser value - no cash back and willing to take a loss. I was informed, yet again, that I am not able to do that because “rental days are over.” While being called a liar, I understood the merchant’s point of view. I would’ve understood this response further had my request been a repeated pattern. It was not. It was my first time. After all, how could he be so sure that I didn’t just go home and watch the movies only to decide I didn’t like them and wanted to choose something else. I get it. Yet, I was not lying. When I asked for the return policy to be expanded upon I was informed that a return could occur if “the movies did not work”. To which I asked, “if I had lied to you instead and stated that these movies didn’t work, what then?” The merchant replied with, “we’d test them out like we do all of our movies.” Now, correct me if I’m wrong but if a disc works on your player, what good does that do me if it won’t play on my setup at home? And, what of this supposed “no hassle return” that the other merchant so confidently spoke of? I digress. So, should I have bought the movies again from the other seller for a better deal? I’m sure anyone would have done the same if they had been informed of the return policy in the way that I was; we’re all trying to save a buck or two. So, in the end my honesty got me no where - save for being called a liar - and my first, and last purchase went sour. First impressions mean everything, and as a first time customer, this was a very poor experience handled by merchants who don’t understand their own policies and can’t determine when someone is lying or not. Clearly, the customer does NOT come first at this establishment and years of being screwed by customers who in fact are lying have ruined it for the honest ones. This merchant basically said “No” and walked away (quite literally).
This is one of my favorite places in Charlotte. I can find the music Im looking for and pick up a Funko Pop at the same time ✌️
Had so much fun in this store its more on the pricey side but you lose all track of budget when you see all the cool stuff
Love the selection of vintage vinyl, CDs and novelties. Great selection of Pop Figures, movie and videos. Unique store.
Always helpful staff and great selection and prices.
This place is really cool. Lots of hard to find and out of print CDs and vinyl. Definitely worth an afternoon
If you’re looking for the obscure, here is where you need to go. Excellent, EXCELLENT selection of heavy metal vinyl, punk vinyl, and classics. A staff member that was there on his day off was even nice enough to help me and my sister find a Hendrix vinyl we accidentally overlooked.
My go to place to get all the classic movies, the staff is always helpful and the prices are the best in Charlotte!
First time in this place and it was pretty awesome! Felt kinda retro. Brought me back to my teenage years spent in a FYE or something like that looking through CDs and DVDs. They had such good collectibles and fun inventory. Lots of sales and clearance items had me looking through all the aisles intending to find great deals. I bought so much stuff and yet barely spent any money. Im definitely going to be going back. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They let me leave all my items up at the front while I continued to shop. By the time i returned, they already had rang up and bagged my items. Talk about great customer service!
I’ve been to every store in charlotte that sells k-pop stuff, and this one is by far the best!! they have the best selection of albums, plus some super cute BT21 stuff! and the staff is super friendly :) can’t wait to come back!!
Really cool place with a lot of pop culture stuff and of course, plenty of records
I havent been here in 3 years. I love the section that used to be albums.
Movies and music that you would never think could of been left behind. Check them out, pretty friendly crew as well.
Very small selection, most items are used, I was able to find the same things brand new for the same price at Barnes and Noble
Love this place,staff always helpful and friendly,always a fresh batch of used vinyl to flip through found some great stuff for very reasonable prices
It has a wide variety of items and quite a lot of vinyl, which is why I went in the first place. The new vinyl was expensive and even some of the used stuff was pretty steep. I walked out with nothing, not because I didnt find anything but because I wasnt prepared to pay the prices. $30 for new albums that you can get elsewhere for $22 -$25.
I HAVE LOVED THIS PLACE SINCE THE 90S AND STILL LOVE THIS PLACE. THANK YOU MANIFEST DISCS AND TAPES!!!!
The customer service is awesome. Great prices and sales. I enjoyed the familiar feel of looking through old records and tapes for bargains. Cale
Very nice store. Good selection of music and movies. Staff was also nice. Only problem is they didn’t sell quality record players.
This is most likely the largest music store in NC/SC. Great place to search for your favorite vinyl and CD’s.
Service was very helpful.
The Manifest folks have the best selection of music anywhere in Charlotte.I am happy they are still rocking!
Always find great stuff here! Staff is always friendly!
I went there for anime merchandize, the comments having positive reviews. But the place isnt anime heaven at all. It has lame merchandize of everything else and the place is ghetto. Definitely disappointed
I absolutely love this store! You can practically find anything. For anime nerd like myself this place is heaven and their prices are much cheaper then online or other stores like this but you get really good quality as well.
Not my music style. Inventory is limited.
One of the last old school record stores. Whatever musical genre you prefer they will almost always have it here. The staff has always been really helpful and friendly. They also buy and sell used CDs, so they have a great selection of gently used music with used music prices (cheap). My office is about 5 minutes from Manifest Discs, so I usually browse the selection once or twice a month during lunch. The prices are great on the new music. I like walking around the store because I love finding that CD that I LOVED back in the day, but I havent heard it in a while. I love that feeling when you get to your car, put the CD you forget you loved in the radio, turn the volume up, and drive.
Great service and a huge store! If you are a crate digger, you can easily lose a couple hours here!
Very good place to place to find retro movies, DVDs, television series, and number of many many things. I love Manifest.
Dont like that they currently dont do buy back of used dvds/blu rays...but glad they still use FYE coupons.
Love Manifest Disc. I love nearby and stop in a lot. Have purchased alotta KISS VYNL, Random 80s CDs, Pop Rocks, etc. They a HUGE store full of Music, Tees, Posters, Ton of Funko, Candy, and just a ton of Pop Culture Items. A really hip store. A lot of cool people work there too. Check it out folks.
Great items for the hard to find...music and nknicknack collectable.
Awesome if you love DVDs and funko pop, you will be in heaven
In from Atlanta, we spotted this gem and had to stop! It is a must if you are in the Charlotte area and into anything music! We picked up some great vinyls at some even more amazing prices! Great foks too! AAA+, yall!
Store was dirty and staff unfriendly. They advertise that they purchase vinyl records, but didnt have anyone there to purchase the day we were there. We had even called on our way and asked, then drove over 20 miles to get there. Not very professional.
Still a great store however its quite empty, not how i remember it being years ago . I like looking at all the cool things but it can be a bit over priced in my opinion .
This company was very rude over the phone and I would advise consumers to stay away like they got corona
This place has everything you need for your audio and video needs. It even has a staff That cares enough about you to send you to the competition Because theyre more. In tune with you getting what you want rather than making a sale. I applaud them for their honesty and their integrity. And well be doing business with them more in the future.
It was awesome 😀😊😄 if you want music or movies thats where you need to go
I had a great time looking for records to buy. It is a great atmosphere and staff friendly.
Let me be the first to say. I freaking love this place. I live about an hour away and when I go I make it well worth my drive. I never leave without spending a couple hundred bucks. And lord knows I spend at least 2 hours in here every time I go. Ive never not found something Ive not been looking for. Love it. Wished I lived closer but thats my fault. Again you can pretty much find anything you want to or have been looking for here. If you cant they can sometimes order it for you. Again. Great place. Great people. Awesome selection.
Great place to get music cds and funko popsI go here quite often and the store is pretty clean and follows safety precautions.
Cool place. Nothing like old vinyl records. They gave me a great price on some discs I bought in to sell. Such a nice guy at the counter. Love it here. A lot of fun.
Nice vintage store for movies, cds and vinyl. Store was nice, staff very helpful and friendly. Came across classic movie DC CAB 😁 cant wait to watch it!
Great selection of music and movies, which is what I go for, but there are other things like clothes and toys and stuff like that. Nice place
Manifest is the best! I bring in my 7yr oldto buy used cds for cheap. We both have a blast and for $20, you can listen to something new all week!And after your week is up, you still OWN YOUR MUSIC!
If you love nostalgia memes this is the place for DVDs of sitcoms or even vinyl and other cool items for gifts. I am never disappointed of this place one of the last strongholds left.
This is a great store. They have a huge selection of used music and movies. A great place to spend time browsing. You never know what you will find. I highly recommend this place..
Ive been a faithful customer since 2001! I love this place.. the staff is always amazing and the vibe is always uplifting and incredible!! You guys rock!
Good friendly place to buy music and tee shirts they all ways have what I want.
Love this store. Lots of fun selections.
Walked in looking to fill my 6 disk player, spent $27 with mission success. Great place for most of your listening needs!
Love this store! Wish we lived closer so we can go daily! Check it out! It has something for everyone
One of my favorite stores in Charlotte. The variety of merchandise they carry is unbelievable. Not to mention, they constantly rotate and update their merchandise. I always see so many new things each time I go in with my girlfriend. She loves every aspect of the store, music, novelties, clothing, and other random cool items they carry. I always leave spending twice as much as i planned and they have excellent prices. Katie that works there is amazing! She deserves a promotion!!!
Was looking for a store close to me that sells vinyl and they have a great selection of new and used. Also, some great sales!
Amazed that yall still buy used CDs. Thank you for being there and being so great! Ive stocked up on music there many times, and though Im thinning the hard these days, its good to see how great the selection still is for when I inevitably will want more physical media. Always a blessing!
My husband and I have been shopping at Manifest for several years now. We love how we can just go in and find exactly what were looking for, whether its something retro or brand new! Keep this place in business!
Really good deals on used CDs and a lot of variety. For a fan of Punk Rock and physical media (CDs, Vinyls) like me this place is GOLD!
Best old school disc (and record) store Ive found in south Charlotte. The air conditioning is always broken though so go when the weather is cool. They buy used discs and resell too. I still enjoy buying music the old way and holding it in my hand. That kinda place!
Good place to fine old music. I buy all my CDs there. Prices are reasonable.
Stopped in while on vacation hoping it would be like The Exchange, a store I visit regularly back home, but it was not. They had some cool stuff, a few nice box sets for TV shows and a decent selection of Funko Pops, mostly family basic and common ones and 90% of the store was severely overpriced.
Good, varying music on. Nice folks, buy my old lps and with store credit I get new ones. Gotta visually scan the used ones, great value there. New ones seemed priced a little high, but then you can listen in five minutes when you get home.
Best place for Any Kind of music. They have a Super staff, thats willing to help find what youre looking for. Will come back again.
Their store mgr. Scott is a rock star in the retail music community.Hes extremely knowledgeable about so many types of music. His heart & soul goes into everything he does.
Was once the greatest store in the world but now is just the best store in Charlotte. Kind of like being the nicest guy in prison. Not bad but lost its awesome factor about the time vinyl became trendy
Its the F in bomb ! Love this place.😷👍
Great selection of music and the staff is very nice. My only problem is that the vinyls tend to be overpriced.
Place smells like mildew or mold... very strong. Some items are priced to sell. Others are %60 cheaper new at Best Buy. Buyer beware. Nice vinyl collections.
I love this place so much. The selection of both new and used CDs, records, and movies is massive, and every used item I have bought is always in good working condition. Everyone who works here is super chill as well. Check it out!!
They always have tons of what you want... Its just difficult to figure out where to start when youre looking for something specific. Just browsing, this place is satisfying.
These guys have been around for a good while... it has lost some of the old charm. I would welcome more sales... more toys... more cool shirts... I miss the weird stuff like a Japanese Millennium Falcon T-shirt or a life-size movie prop of R2-D2 or a nice Starship Enterprise with fiber optic lights. Statuettes, Jackets.. DVDs are fading fast... but this place has a magnificent collection of music records... real records... and record players to play them on.
Always been a cool place to find new music. Great selection of metal. They have a lot of used, as well
Awesome vibe. Very clean. I didnt have a single employee come and bug me, which is fabulous! Prices were a smidge high, but still pretty good.
This place is perfect. Between the new AND used, DVDs, records and CDs. You can spend hours in this store and STILL not go through everything in one trip.
My go-to when I need to find music. They always have what Im looking for. Great used cd section too.
Excellent customer service. Great selections on DVDs, CDs, vinyls and everything you could want is there. I always have an awesome experience there and they have a great used section to. Great prices on everything. I definitely recommend this palce! 😀
Friendly staff and a wife variety of items from music to DVDs and nerd stuff. Awesome place! I love it!!!
My husband snd I enjoy coming here and looking around. We still have vinyl, so its always nice to come and find something we dont have. They also have an extensive video collection. This is definitely the place to go if you have a love for vinyl!
I turned in some old CDs for cash. Quick.& easy process! Call ahead 2 b sure buyer is there--Dave cant attend all hours. What I turned got me a nice handful-few $$ extra for store credit a few less for cash.I wish I could buy!! :( But so broke! Grateful to You, Manifest that offers this service!!
Its really nice it could use some organization but overall very nice
If you like pop music, this is the place for you. Anything else, meh. Added after owner response: I love the movie selection but have tried to special order vinyl before. It did not go well.
Great store with a HUGE selection of products from movies, to music, to toys and apparel.
Great prices and large selection of all kinds of music.
Great used and new music store. Huge selection and gives good credit.
Found BTS stuff for my daughter which is very hard to find... Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to BTS and BT21 stuff
Great place to buy used and new vinyl records. Prices are reasonable and staff very helpful. Found some great oldies that I remember listening to growing up.
I made a recent trip to Charlotte and every time I go to a city that Ive never been to before, I seek out record stores to go to before hand to see if I can find anything amazing. I can say without a doubt that Manifest did not disappoint.While the temperature in the store was probably the same as outside (around 90F), people were tirelessly working to get the AC fixed, and they did in a way in which people could still look around. The store had a charm of its own, something you dont see very often. I enjoyed the fact that they carried vinyl, DVDs, and Funko Pops. I thought that the selection was great and I plan on making another trip to Manifest next time Im in Charlotte.
Love it!
Matthew knows exactly what youre looking for
Been going here for years. As a person that still likes CDs and DVDs this place is great. Good prices as well.
Been going for years and I always find something.
