They have used books, used CDs, used DVDs, video games, anime stuff, manga, and probably a lot more that I didn't see. The alphabetizing of the products is somewhat creative, and sometimes just plain wrong, but the good news is I picked up about seven or eight used books that I had been looking for. I thought the book prices were mostly very fair; however, I thought the CD prices were high. I browsed the DVDs and there were good titles available. The store was very clean but was quite crowded during our visit. This is an interesting store, albeit not a relaxing one, but you can find some nuggets here if you invest the time. I would return.

Its maybe 5-10 cents an item i think i sold like 8 blue rays got 1$ back about, but ykno they sell things at good prices plus clearance! I think theres records, nintendo console, cassettes its a good oldies retro physical media store. When i sold stuff i met a short black hair girl, and she was direct. At least she was patient and repeated when needed. Got my ticket got my stuff looked at and met Brendon and he is so sweet and friendly guide to others waiting in line and he told me my total and asked about how i was ect just nice dude!

There's so many businesses and this one in particular just seemed like it was very inviting. Upon entering the store it's filled with rich horror, culture, and metal music merchandise, which is super cool! They have interesting niche items here that you probably won't be able to find anywhere else. I picked up a few cool horror, movie magnets, and some spooky enamel pins. I grabbed the pins as gifts and I put the magnets on my fridge when I got home. The staff were very friendly, and if you have any questions, they will absolutely answer them for you, so that's helpful. And of course there's plenty of records in music to look through while you're there, you're bound to find a record you might want to take home. As far as the value goes, everything seemed fairly priced. Definitely a cool spot if you're into horror movies, and underground music! There are not too many places like this left here in San Diego.

First time purchasing a few Records from Vinyl Junkies…read more. Had them shipped to Iowa, Great price & they shipped them in a mighty mailer for extra protection and they arrived in great condition within a reasonable timeframe.. However incurred a minor issue at no fault to the store, inner sleeves were missing, this was a known issue from the record producer on this particular release, worked with Jules at Vinyl Junkies and she worked diligently with their supplier to make things right, took a bit but she got it done and shipped them right away free of charge and in perfect condition.. If you're looking for great service on your next vinyl purchase look no further, these guys and gals are great and they stand by what they sell.. Thanks Vinyl Junkies! & Thank you Jules for completing my album's.. ~ Jason

I've been going to Vinyl Junkies for years, and I can easily spend hours flipping through their…read morebins. The only thing I'd like to see improved is a little more consistency with grading on the used records. I recently bought a $70 used record and, after getting home, noticed a pretty significant scratch. To be fair, I should have taken the time to open the sleeve and inspect the record before buying it, so I take some responsibility for that. That said, I do think it would be helpful if noticeable flaws were pointed out, especially on higher-priced records. Even just knowing that a record is VG rather than assuming it's in better condition would make a difference. Overall, I've always enjoyed shopping at Vinyl Junkies and will definitely continue going back. This is really more of a suggestion than a major complaint--I just think a little more consistency with grading would make an already great record-buying experience even better.

Seems odd for a shop that looks like it could go out of business. No one was in there? I would not come back. What kind of store denies service when all we wanted to do was pay????

And it's a shop first opened by San Diego house legends The H-Foundation -- Hipp-E and Halo (I believe they've both moved out of town.) From the outside it looks like a perfect record store. Big glass windows reveal stacks of flyers, walls of records -- peppered with the occasional classic LP, listening stations, and funky t-shirts. It looks like the perfect little record shop. The kind of place where no matter how few people there's still a thick vibe united by the bond of house music. The kind of place where that makes guys want to stand around on a Saturday afternoon, listening to wax for hours, and lying about the first time they'd ever heard "French Kiss" (and probably about the first time they had a kiss of the same name.) I'm sure that goes on there but I wouldn't know. The "Back in 5" sign I encountered today for forty-five minutes was enough to send me packing. As an Angelo who occasionally works in San Diego I find their hours don't fit with my schedule well so when I had today afternoon free I jumped at the chance to get there. Too bad I never breached those big glass windows. *** = For possibility and effort... at least the shop's standing. Oh...the address -- 909 E Street...that irony is definitely not lost on me.

They house "East County Vinyl" inside which has such an extensive collection of both new and used vinyls that are all priced SO well - we walked out with 5 used vinyls under $30, SCORE (two of them were priced at just $2)! We've already tried playing all 5 of them and they were in pristine condition. Walked into the back and they have a really nice assortment of furniture, art, books, a small rack of clothing, vintage decor and collection pieces alike, all of which were priced very well!! Even though the clothing rack was small, I found this really cool Padres shirt :) The gentleman working today was also very kind and helpful, he even offered to hold the vinyls we found up at the register so we could continue perusing around the store. The consignment and vintage market, especially in San Diego, marks up prices but the Consignment Shack makes it affordable for all! Can't wait to come back!!!

When I make it back to this area, I will definitely stop by again.
