3316 N. Lincoln Ave

The Chicago Music Exchange sells guitars, and if you’re living the life of the bluesman, with no money in your pockets and a traveling jones, they will buy your gear so you will have some cash to go down to Blues Fest. You can feel guitars older than you in your own two hands, and be overwhelmed by the sheer sprawl of instruments. They’re an authorized Fender and Gibson dealer and offer a full service Fender Custom Shop. They also boast an amazing selection of vintage equipment. The stock turns over relatively quickly, so each foray offers the potential to unearth a treasure.
Out-of-towners who like to get down and dirty can find the gear their idols use, and for even the curious folks without a penny to spare, looking to pluck out "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" on a handful of amazing guitars, should make the voyage to Lakeview for a peek at this venerable establishment. Cost depends on how much guitar you’re looking to buy.

The sign above the tiny shop near the Ravenswood L tracks at 3402 N. Southport says "Chair" and that’s what you’ll find inside - chairs, period.

A flat-splat-back kitchen chair in need of paint for $30, a pair of pale walnut veneer Biedermeier side chairs too delicate to sit on for $5,200, a 1940s leather club chair with ottoman in mint condition for $950, and just about anything in between that’s made for just one person to sit upon is in the shop.

A huge part of what makes Reckless Records a unique store is what you bring through the door to sell or trade. If you want to get some new music or new movies, and you don’t want to spend much money, then bring in your old CDs, DVDs, videos, video games, records, 45s. We will even find a home for your humble cassette tapes (we consider most music-related items). If you just want some quick cash, great, bring them in. We do, however offer 20 percent more in trade than we do in cash. For instance, if we offer you $10 cash for an item, that will be $12 in trade, and so on..
