Went in to browse their movies selection and I was so surprised by this unassuming shop. I came in on a rainy day, and it was so cozy to be in here looking through their collection. They have a huuuge catalog of music and movies in different formats. Could easily spend an hour here! They're currently running a 50% off promo on everything. There aren't many places with character and charm like this place. Check it out! You never know what gems you'll find. read more

CD's or Vinyl this shop has what you are looking for. I have found myself on another damn fool mission acquire a vinyl library of the past. So far this store has been helpful and educated me how to look. Nice and friendly is what I have experienced. A larger inventory I have found of LP's and CD's. If I am looking for an artist or group this the store @a reasonable price. Got my 'Right On'. Love this place . read more

Phenomenally extensive vinyl selection and meticulously organized CDs... the owner even writes little messages to let you know his thoughts about the music. It's wonderful!!! read more

This place has pretty much everything you are looking for, you can call them and they will look for you...AWESOME! So many choices of music formats, even 45's. Tons of LP's, DVD's and tapes. It's an emporium of music and movies. Something different around every corner! I LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE GUYS WHO RUN IT! I am a bit partial to this place, I'm their bookkeeper and have been for over 20 years. I love all kinds of music and movies. I got lucky when I started working for them :) read more

This place is packed!!! There is everything that you are looking for and stuff you didn't even know you are looking for. The guys that run the place are great and there is a reason this place has been a staple in Everett forever. TONS AND TONS of records or course but also CD's, DVD'S and tapes. Jazz, Country, Show tunes, Rap, R&B...literally anything that you would want to listen to, they probably have it. You can bring CD'S, records and tapes in to sell to them for store credit or cash. Also, their return policy is unheard of. Any time, any reason, no receipt, bring. it back, they will make it right. read more

Gordy is amazing! Show up on Sundays to meet the owner. He is the nicest person in the world. They have an amazing return policy and a listening station to listen before you buy. It's a great place to sell/trade music as well read more

I've got an old, vintage car that has a cassette player in it. Thought this place would be a good place to find one. The store is cluttered and unorganized, especially the cassettes. After digging through random, dusty boxes I found one I thought would be good. I was charged $6.99 for the cassette that was buried in a box, not even displayed. When I walked out with it and popped it in the car, I found out it didn't even work. I was denied a refund. Don't waste your time with this store. Silver Platters in Lynnwood is a much better option. read more

Incredible selection of vinyl, cassettes, dvds, etc. I can spends hours in there. independent shop ran by 3 guys who seem to run it for the joy of it over profits. Prices are fair. read more

Honestly, I find myself underwhelmed when I visit this shop. My first impression is always, "wow, they have tons of stuff here", but it gets annoying having to look through the entire alphabet for the artists I collect. It's true the prices have gone up in recent years, but that seems to be the case at every record store. Vinyl is the hip thing now for people who still like physical media. It's pretty rare I find anything here that I can't find at other record stores. It's probably a good place to shop at if you live in the neighborhood, and the owner seems to be a nice guy. read more

Always a cool find here!!! Super friendly staff and lots of good taste here, I'm sure any niche vinyl you're looking for will be here. If you have some free time to explore this place you'll find a variety of things you might've long forgotten about or have never known existed, good prices/deals on many items and overall lots of rarity. Thank you for the freebies as well!! They were very cool to watch and have made a happy home in our collection. Will definitely be back for more unique finds. read more

The owner of the store is super nice. I went there with my wife to look for some Kenny G and Christmas vinyls. He helped point me to the dedicated corner where they store them. When we checked out with 2 vinyls (1 of each type), he only charge me the Kenny G. The Chrismas vinyl was free. We were so surprised and definitely will come back. read more

Great place to find vintage cd and records, large rock and jazz sections, decent amount of rap too, went in looking for some classics, found some diamonds at a great price. read more

Bargain CDs Records & Tapes - Classics - Vinyl Records Near Me - Everett, Washington

this place is awesome! Any genre, in any format. I've been getting country and jazz- now I am discovering classical. Who knew? The store is literally overflowing with records, CDs, and DVDs. There are corners full of stacks of records I guess they haven't had time to price and shelve. unbelievable. also, they have records priced as low as one buck as well as collectors items worth hundreds of dollars. Great fun to explore. read more

Umm, not the best for vinyl. Lots of stacked records and CRAZY overpriced. I will say the few albums I took a close look at were pretty clean but 4x the price of (essentially) the same album at other record stores. The cds seemed more appropriately priced. Good luck. read more

They had Soooo much too choose from! Great selection. Great prices . Organized really well easy too find what your looking for

Wow, never thought I'd be yearning for Bop Street's vinyl pricing. Platinum card users only need to shop here. Nothing is a bargain, vinyl prices are higher than I have seen anywhere else. Neil Young Decade $80, typically $20 in Seattle. Y&T records typically not more than $6 were $25 and so on. Pricing was so off we never even looked at the condition of a single piece of vinyl. Also I'm not really sure why the huge section of four times overpriced vinyl that says it's actually 50 percent off. Anyhow one more reason not to stop in Everett. read more

Stopped by Bargain CDS Records & Tapes randomly and let me tell you...what a great find! The selection variety is huge and amazingly organized to make it easy to find what you're looking for. What makes this place a 5 star review is not only the store but the gentleman working behind the counter. So friendly and provided such a great experience I will go back. read more

I've been going here since they were originally located down by the water. The staff here is the nicest and most appreciative of any record store I've been to. They are always able to help and answer questions, and are great guys to talk music with. Their selection keeps growing with more and more rare releases out in the bins. Big, lots of inventory, they pay pretty good if you have good records that are re-sellable, and let you explain what you've got and don't act like they know everything. It is also a MAJOR bonus that their staff is of mature age. Because let's face it, college age record store employees are the worst. I've been collecting records for 40 years and can say, the grade accurately and it's really nice to have a store to buy records from instead of having to go online constantly. Gordy, Mike, and JIm are just the best! read more

This place is a total mess, BUT it's alphabetized. (It's also run by a quarky/cool/super nice owner, and filled with treasures.) On my iPhone I have a note filled with some must haves. It doesn't happen every time, but from time to time I can check off some items off this list. I was able to that to a few items here (Sade & Joni Mitchell on vinyl as well as a copy of "Before Sunset" on DVD [which I've since accidentally sent to netflix!]). This is your true music store. You know the owner really knows and loves his stuff. If you have a question, he'll look into the air, scratch his head, and then take you on a goose chase for that obscure Billie Holiday, or that bumping Sugarhill Gang. One thing I love about this place: It's organized. Yes, lots of places put their stuff in alphabetical order, but usually that's just for letters. Everything under "S" is just mashed in there. Here, everything is alphabetized WITHIN the letter. OCD can be a good thing! (Oh, and since when did "alphabatized" get spelled "alphabetized"?? I keep messing that up in this review!) I like this record store, because you won't go empty handed. There are some cheep-o stuff, but I think those are thrown into piles against the walls---if you do like the art of searching, I'll leave that section to you and you can get back to me. In the main shelves, you'll find the good stuff. And yeah, it may be priced a little higher, but dang---it's freakin' music. Isn't it worth it?? And don't get total sticker shock. The ENTIRE store is 30% off (atleast when I was there). The owner said he's been doing the sale ever since the economic downturn. It's good for us on the short term, but not good on the long run if this store goes away: SO GET DOWN HERE AND BUY SOME RECORDS!! read more

Bargain CDs Records & Tapes - Vinyl Records Near Me - Everett, Washington

I recently bought a turntable on the sly. (A gift for y wife. Shhh.... don't tell.) Of course, buying a turntable means you got to get some vinyls. Otherwise it's just a display piece. I frequented some familiar haunts first --- Urban Outfitters, an FYE that was closing, Best Buy and a thrift store. Sadly, the selection in all places were lacking. All three had very limited selections. If you're trying to look for, say, Joao Gilberto you are plumb out of luck my friend. I knew there was a vinyl store in Seattle, so I took to Google Maps to find where it was. Imagine my surprise when I discovered there was a store in my own backyard! Bargain CDs, Records & Tapes has an amazingly large selection of everything --- especially vinyls. There are records for every musical taste, I'll wager. Records were piled from floor to the ceiling and on long shelves that seemed to extend to infinity. The shopkeeper was also very friendly, offering to give any record a listen with available headphone. (To my delight, he played the record over the store speakers instead.) If you're in the Everett area and looking to expand your record collection, this place has to be your first stop. You'll build up your collection in no time with music that you'll want to listen to. read more

Bargain CDs Records & Tapes - A box of vinyls at Bargain CDs, Records & Tapes. - Vinyl Records Near Me - Everett, Washington

Seriously, this place is a joke. I cannot understand the positive reviews here. 1. Records and CD's piled so f#@king high you can't search, flip, browse. Heavy boxes on the floor are also in the way at every turn. 2. Sections are not marked. When I did find a section I was looking for (or at least I think I did) I couldn't get even in to it due to all the clutter. 3. Holy f#@king high prices Batman!! Ok, there are signs everywhere that say "take 50% off." The problem is every bloody LP is priced so high that even the 50% off price is still exorbitantly high. Piss off. The worst record stores are always the ones that think every piece of vinyl is worth $50. Get real. Between thrift stores, QUALITY record stores, Ebay, Discogs, Amazon, and a bunch of other sites it is not that difficult to find what you are looking for at a reasonable price these days and in generally good condition. 4. Quality sucks. 90% of everything felt like Goodwill quality. 5. Old dude behind the counter couldn't even be bothered to look up from his reading material. There are some awesome record stores all up and down the western Washington corridor. Seattle has many, but some good ones in Olympia, Mount Vernon, Bellingham, and places in between. I'll never set foot in this place again. read more

I hate giving any business negative reviews but the pricing here is absolutely ridiculous. Stopped in to look for some vinyl and was astounded. Easily 2x and 3x the price of other shops or even median price on Discogs. I wouldn't bother making the drive to Everett if you want an enjoyable experience. Just order online elsewhere and save the time and money. Staff barely courteous today. Last time I was there a different guy was really, really nice. The good is the vinyl section is well organized, decent selection and a ton of CD's, DVD's and other media. Not sure if pricing is as outrageous there too? If you like to browse over and under stock you may find something. I don't plan to go back any time soon. read more

Amazing selection. Great prices. Helpful staff. The best guarantee on quality FOREVER or they replace it. If you like the experience of shopping for your music and/or movies in the "old school" way, this is the place for you. Rare and hard to find items. Completely worth a drive to Everett, just to shop here. read more

I revisited this shop, last time here was 2019, and it was a great disappointment. The prices are high and there is no order to the colllection other than alphabetical, so if you want to browse by category forget it. The owner had no music playing, the place felt like a morgue, depressing. I've never been in a record store that didn't play music. read more

Great shop. Very kind and knowledgable owner who went out of his way to help me find my titles. You can feel good shopping here knowing that you are supporting a great shop and good people. Highly Recommend read more

Great record shop! Super friendly owner, excellent selection of used vinyl, revolving inventory, good value. I've been shopping here for years and keep coming back. Definitely recommend. read more

Hello fellow crate diver! If you happen to be contemplating checking this place out I'd absolutely recommend it off of the strength of selection alone. I went in with no specific item in mind and left with several finds thanks to the huge amount of vinyls, CD's and dvds. That reason alone would warrant remembering this special find but I cannot commend enough how friendly and helpful the staff are. I wish I remembered the gentleman's name but he was super helpful and provided the icing on the cake for this great experience. Absolutely will be back and can't recommend highly enough! I'll be back with trade ins for sure! read more

Lots of inventory but overpriced. I'm sure they are just trying to make a buck and survive however it's generally priced too high.

This place has an amazing selection! It's packed to the brim with music and movies, and everything is alphabetized you make it so easy to browse. I'm finding DVDs here that are really hard to hunt down anywhere else. Oh, and when you buy, you get a guarantee that it will work in any of your players! Buy and trade-in here. One of the best local gems in town! read more

Classic spot for Vinyl's and CD's. Owners real nice and offers decent prices. CD's I bought were clean and had no scratches. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to buy old music,movies and VHS'S read more

A serious gem and the last of a dying breed. I've been to my share of record shops, and this place is unreal. My wife and I spent a good hour just hitting the immaculately alphabetized main stacks before I even noticed there was at least 2-3x as many LPs underneath or jammed in nooks and crannies around us. Someone spent a VERY long time amassing their catalogue, and it has taken its toll on the business. The prices seem kind of high for used (but usually VG or higher quality) vinyl, but then you take into account the 1/2 off everything sale, and it's entirely reasonable (and lower than what you'd spend at a Seattle-based shop, if they even had a tenth the selection). What I mean by the collection taking its toll on the business is how evident it was that sales are down and they're hurting for your business. The cashier/owner(?) guy was amazingly nice and supremely knowledgable, and it almost felt sad how giddy he was for the $40 we spent. He mentioned that the half-off everything sale will be going on "for probably another year... until we can cover our back-rent and get out of the recession." I felt like going back and buying more stuff... there was some amazing stuff I passed over because I didn't want to overdo it, but it's a shame to see a collection and knowledge like that go to waste. If you're not into shopping for the deals and supporting local record shops, think about this... they will take back anything you bought if you're not happy with it. He made it sound like there weren't any caveats either... just bring it back in.They'll also do trades for your old music as well ("If you're tired of something you have, bring it back... we'll get you something you'll like.") If you call yourself an audiophile, a rare-record hunter, a local-first shopper, or even just someone who can't seem to find a good copy of that old Soft Cell LP you had in grade school, it's worth the trip. read more

First let me say that I think Gordy Arlin is a decent guy, and I really believe in supporting local brick and mortar record stores, but I simply can't get over the fact that he takes a month sometimes longer or not at all to price records that are on his store shelves I assume to be S O L D? If I or my collector friends are willing to pay his ridiculous prices, don't grab the stacks and say "I need to research these" WTF?? True story, I brought in some friends who traveled a very long way to spend some money at his store and he refused to price on the spot for them. They're probably still sitting there unpriced now 10 years later lol Sorry that's just bad business. Gordy came from the Dean Silverstone "Golden Moldies" school of paying people peanuts for their collections and then jacking up the prices. No coincidence that Dean's once thriving 10 store Golden Oldies empire is now down to one and it's on the verge. I will give BCDs one more chance next week, and if I have a better experience I will amend my rating. Here's a word of advice to Mr. Arlin though. Don't complain about economic downturn when your prices are not even competitive even with the 50% off sale that has been going on for years now. Go by Discogs average price and you might just survive a few more years. ;) read more

An amazing shop, a candy store for adventures lovers of retro music. If you are looking a treasure trove of music, where you could find anything for cheap prices look no further, you have found your home. If you are looking for a place organized with the dewy decimal system, however, this is not your kind of store. It's lack of organization is both charming and annoying, it makes shopping there feel like a treasure hunt. Very exciting, you could look through the boxes of cassette tapes and vinyl for a lifetime and still find another box, untouched for years, filled with mystery. Go to bargains and find the treasure you never knew you needed. read more

I visited the store for the second time and it's just getting worse. He has boxes and boxes and boxes of records that are overfilling the sections. Normally a good thing. But the problem, when I pull one out I want he says "that's not for sale. I haven't priced it yet. I need to listen to it." I ask him if he could price it on the spot and he said "no I don't have time." Isn't that his job? To price and sell records. I can't access the records that are priced. Horrible store and will not go back. If I could give negative stars I would. I support local record stores and have throughout my collecting journey but this is one that I never will. read more

This is the only place in Everett to buy CDs, and that isn't hyperbole, it is literally the only CD store in town. They have a large selection of used CDs to browse through. I've found some hidden gems here and I always enjoy the treasure hunt through the various genres. They have vinyl too! Plus, the place next door sells great donuts. read more
