About Sold Out
From concert posters to two record stores. Built on a love of music.
Sold Out is an independently owned music retailer with two record stores serving Denver and the south suburbs, an online poster business serving collectors nationwide, and a dedicated warehouse supporting our growing operation.
What began as a search for a sold-out concert poster has grown into a business offering more than 100,000 vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, posters, turntables, and music accessories.
Through our Englewood flagship, Highlands Ranch location, online stores, and warehouse, we're committed to making music collecting accessible, enjoyable, and welcoming to everyone.
Our Story
It all started with a poster that was sold out.
In 2007, founder Joe Magoonaugh attended Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago. After spotting a concert poster he wanted, he decided to purchase it on his way out. By then, it was gone (Sold Out).
That missed opportunity sparked an interest in rare and collectible concert posters, eventually growing into a business built around music, art, and collecting.
What started as an online poster store evolved into something much bigger. As the business grew, vinyl records became an increasingly important part of Sold Out, eventually leading to physical record stores where customers could browse, discover, and connect through music.
