Been coming here about 3 years now - very cool place. Have come just to browse around, other times…read moreto just randomly buy a cd or old cassette, and other times to sell (or "trade for stuff" - which is even cooler - how many places allow that??) some vinyls I have accumulated over the years for some old stereo equipment and/or some extra cash. Probably the best place to come if you are looking for the most in resale value. Now as mentioned, over the years I have accumulated so much vinyl (some of it literally new, and unopened in some cases). Much of it - while I admit holds some value - I just will never be able to use or play. Taking it to a "Half Price Books" store they will give you almost nothing for it ($1-$2 maybe for great condition vinyls), and then turn around and put it on their shelves for 10-25 bucks. That is NOT a place I recommend taking anything to, unless you're just looking to donate it. One time I took a huge load of valuable textbooks there and was offered 25 cents. Russ (owner) has SO MUCH stuff here, and even more stereo stuff in a location the public doesn't usually see, except for appointment. He's pretty fair with buying and trading your vinyl or other collectibles. I collect old stereo equipment (even stuff that doesn't hold a lot of "dollar value" these days)... Russ has so much stuff that some of it he'll be glad to unload to you. Very cool place to check out. The organization has gotten better the last 1-2 years - sometimes it feels "stuff is just EVERYWHERE" though... I can envision a bit more tidy-ness and/or a better database for the music...(computerized, tho it may not be possible with THIS MUCH INVENTORY). Somebody comes in and says - "I am looking for such and such on cd/vinyl or cassette" - and then an easy computerized search and location for it. Very minor complaint though... Will continue to come here and look around, or take my stuff in for trade. I highly recommend. Russ and his employees are cool guys and will always try to accommodate you and your requests.

I loved that most items were out in the open for touching and exploring, with fun low-price trays and bins mixed in with tagged treasures. The staff (two wonderful women) were so kind and engaging - we had a fun conversation about the shop. Unfortunately, the ringing-up process was frustrating and felt chaotic. Purchases were split by dealer, but without a clear tally or saved tags, double-checking was nearly impossible (tags got mixed with others from earlier sales). It left me unsure if the final total was accurate - $95 or $115 makes a difference! I wish there was a better system for transparency. I adore the nostalgic, hands-on feel here and the amazing inventory, but the checkout experience might keep me from returning soon. They also put all of my pieces ($111 worth of jewelry) into one organza bag- nothing was protected. Still recommending for anyone who loves digging through real antiques!

All in all the services aren't up to par with the friendly staff!…read more Let's face it, the textbook industry is brutal to college students. That being said, online stores and digital/eBooks are becoming more popular and far more affordable, which makes in-store experiences even more important! It's rare that I visit textbook store for the sake of saving money on textbooks but I needed one textbook only printed and sold through the university. After coming to terms of my "luxuriously priced" purchase here's how it panned out! The staff is friendly but not in-sync with the services they offer. My first visit for the semester was for a textbook that was out of stock during that visit. I was informed that I can pay for the textbook that day, provide my contact information and receive a call once the textbook arrived. After proceeding with that process and waiting for 3 weeks I had to explain to the professor the circumstances I was under and make accommodations for using the book. LUCKILY!! another student who had just experienced the same situation and overheard the conversation with the professor and informed me to stop back in to the Bookstore, as they had too after not receiving a call with the last batch of books that were offered. During my second visit, I was informed that the textbook I needed still wasn't available. So I decided to look where the book would be located and I found one copy left and approached the service desk again with the copy I found. The associate let me take the copy I found instead of waiting for my the copy that I still wasn't available. Again, great and friendly associates but inventory management and follow up are poor for the prices (textbook prices) we pay in these purchases.
