For anyone into vintage records, Dixon's is the place for you…read more There is such a huge selection they are bound to have exactly what you are looking for. I walk in and I don't know where to start. I could spend hours browsing through the offerings, and I often do! The cool thing about Dixon's, is you can not only buy all you old faves, but you can also sell your records there. On more than one occasion I have been tempted to take down mums Bony M collection because I'm sick of hearing it played everytime I go over! But that's a whole other story.. Dixon's also have a good range of DVD's, CD's and Bu Ray DVD's.

Growing up in Blackburn one of the most favourite things to do was head down to the second record…read moreplace and spend a Saturday flicking through records and CDs. The notion of buying and selling second hand goods only came to me after being in this store. The quality of wares is good - the Blackburn one having a stronger selection of Metal and Hard Rock than most of the others - and as it turns out they had to move due to the quantity of stock. Rest assured it only ended up being a few shops up the street, taking over an old garage and converting it into a huge warehouse space. There is even enough room to house a piano in the foyer area, though I'm yet to see any play it. The guys working there have been there since my early days in the store, and are keen music antiquity men and fonts of music knowledge. They can tell you who was having it off with who's girlfriend in the band while making a certain record. Their historical music gossip will make you blush.

Video Busters in Bayswater have a fantastic range of DVD's for hire, and have been servicing…read moreBayswater for many years now. When VHS was the way we watched videos, this place was huge, and you could easily spend an hour looking through the collection. After the DVD revolution, and subsequent shrinking of packaging, these guys moved across the road to smaller premises. Although they still stock tonnes of titles, now its just a little harder to search the range, what with DVD's being so skinny and most of them on the shelves with their spine facing out. Can be a bit tough on the neck. With great deals on offer where you can pick up multiple titles and save, Video Busters is great for those who haven't switched to downloading their movies online, and offers the physical experience that will soon be a thing of the past.

I love this place. So do my friends. I've lost count of how many CDs and DVDs I've bought here…read moreover the years. A few of my friends go here, check out what's just been released, then buy it online for a bit of a saving, but this is one case where I don't mind spending the extra buck or two to have a good shopping experience. They've been invaluable to me in the past when putting in new car stereos and that sort of thing too. I've been given plenty of good advice by the staff here over the years, and I'll keep going back just because of this. It can get pretty busy, but I think that's just because most people who turn up early for the cinemas browse the store before their movie starts. I know I do.

The JB at Knox is one of the better JB's in Melbourne…read more Every time I have been here, which is a lot, the service has been great, even though the place is usually packed. Don't be discouraged if you see a big line at the checkout. It moves fast. The store itself is pretty big, and stocks all your DVDs, CDs, electrical goods and everything else you'd expect in a JB. This place is also handy as it's located right near the cinemas so it's a great way to fill in time when waiting for a movie.
