I feel like this is one of the better priced stores in the Columbus market usually leaving with 3-4 good quality finds. You can't beat free parking out front!

I found this store trying to find a Wii, I looked around seeing a vast amount of games and they…read moresaid their Wii was 100 dollars understandable but they said they were doing a sale for 75 dollars, managed to get the wii and almost everything needed along with a game but they missed the sensor. Thankfully they remembered us and gave us the sensor when we came one week later, that same day I traded in a ps1, Nintendo ds lite and some ps1/ps2 games and while their trade in value was a bit lacking in my opinion (all of that for 35 bucks) I still managed to get a good haul of accessories and they even let me get all those items free cause of the whole accident with the sensor, too kind. On the third visit is where I started to love this store though, original xbox demo discs, DVD's and blu rays, Nintendo power magazines, haha any store that sells the avatar book 2 complete dvd boxset for what I remember being 12 dollars is a friend to me. It was truly a marvel and even better they have disc cleaning! Incredible! I forgot to mention the customer service and it's excellent, and the store feels alive with all the conversations you hear. 10/10 I'll come any chance even if I don't come to buy anything.

Stopped by here on accident while walking back to my car and I'm glad I did. I would've never know so many treasures were hiding in plain sight here. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable.

There is an interesting & unique selection of vinyl records available at this store, and it is well worth a look to see if they have something in the music genre that you enjoy. Elizabeth's is also near several other local vinyl record shops. So if you are making a day of record browsing , this is a place that definitely needs to go on your regular list of vinyl record stores to visit as you make your rounds.

If you did not already know, Columbus has some of the best record stores anywhere in the US. We had…read morea random stop on our way home from Quebec after spending the night outside of Columbus and got some good breakfast sandwiches from the clutch food truck that we found via Apple Maps. Lo and behold, there was a record store across the street and open early! I've been to a few great record stores in Columbus, but did not know about this one and it's super great. Everything is organized really well and there is so much variety and the prices are very fair.... Sadly a rarity these days. The metal section is divided in various sections so it's very comforting on the.Mind :) I am a connoisseur record stores, and this is the way they're supposed to be. Super nice staff as well.

Once upon a Time, School Kids Records, and the accompanying Used Kids Records were two stores that…read morefound their homes on High St just across from the Ohio State University campus. in those days, you would trample down a narrow set of outdoor concrete steps to enter a wonderworld of vinyl LPs. These days it's a street level entrance, but the absolutely amazing vinyl selection is still very much present in this new record shop located on Summit Street north of campus. most people would be hard pressed not to find several selections that they really like in this large shop. Truly incredible variety. As with most shops like this in the Columbus area, there are some vinyl record collector supplies available for purchase. True collectors and audio files will find this feature very useful. Friendly and talkative staff at the front desk, who are happy to answer thoughtful questions. They are knowledgeable so if you have something on your mind, hit them up if they can help you, I'm feeling pretty confident that they'll do their best. Parking can be a bit of a chore as there are a number of other retail shops in this immediate area, it is also a residential area, and a highly trafficked street. With a little patience, you'll be able to find something relatively nearby. Be sure and check the signs to make sure that you're parking in an area that is permissible.

My girlfriend and I stopped by the store on June 8, we were instantly intrigued by the name. Once…read morewe got there, we were amazed at the selection of records, CDs, and merchandise. What stood out the most was the amount of death metal, black metal, hardcore/punk, and industrial music they had to offer. The prices were very reasonable, and they had some hard to find records as well. Kim was the employee who helped us and she was very friendly and very helpful as well and talked with us about some of the local bands and events. Definitely recommend!

Something I can actually do, at home, instead of finding excuses not to go to the gym in the winter. I was nearby looking for a restaurant and saw this, so I popped in and explained what I wanted. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and explained my options (mainly confirming my research.) They set me up with a used system at a very reasonable price, including everything I need. I'll be back if I need more games, etc. They have some LPs, many games, movies, locally-made coasters with video game themes, and lots more. I'm happy to support a local place, especially when they're better than any chain to boot.

So when I found out that my wife had overheard them making fun of me, I had to make this review to warn people that the people that work there are not disability-friendly and to spend your money somewhere else.

He's got some amazing stuff, but sticks too close to book price on overly common records. Still, it's a wonderful place to be on a Saturday afternoon when you've got nothing but time (and plenty of cash!).

I've been shopping at Memory Lane for many years. And I have purchased some of my rarest (not…read morenecessarily most valuable) records from Al. I never come away empty-handed, but you do have to allow yourself time to root around. Some things are well organized, others not so much.Today, I picked up 2 albums and 8 singles for $10! Can't complain about that. It all depends on what you are looking for. Al haunts the thrift shops so I don't have to. If you are a regular customer, he'll even keep you in mind as he is out buying stuff.

I was on a business trip to Columbus and wanted to check out the Local Magic scene. I called this…read moreplace to see if they took trades, which they do, and the gentleman on the phone was courteous. This place is a bit hard to find, so just know that it is in the Convention Center. The card selection is the largest for sealed product that I've seen in awhile, and even though they didn't take any of my trade-ins I happily plopped down some money! They had an amazing bargain on some precons so I bought two and a Sonic Secret Lair. Great value and huge selection for a small shop. You definitely get more than you would anywhere else in town. Your money is appreciated here and will give you a sense of value.

Absolutely fantastic bookstore…read more PROS: -Plentiful, easy parking. This is in a strip mall with lots of space, and tons and tons of parking space. -It doesn't feel like a "sit and read" kind of place. They have a few chairs near the front door for sitting, but I honestly enjoy the lack of a ton of sitting space. It feels like a place you can actually talk about books without feeling like a librarian is going to glare at you. -They have a bathroom! I know, fancy stuff. But legit, a lot of strip mall retail businesses don't have a bathroom. Storyline, specifically, has a single unisex restroom. It's clear this is/was the employee backroom, yet they leave it available to customers. Plus, complimentary feminine care products. Seriously, this is a level of care that needs to be shouted out. -Lots of book options. With limited shelf space, most of the "normal" books are single copies out on the shelf with "trendy" books having multiple copies for purchase. This maximizes the number of books available for purchase. -Really organized with gigantic hallways and walkways. No stairs to enter anywhere. A few of the bookstores in town feel super cramped; this one feels really spacious with skylight windows and lots of walkways. It feels so welcoming. Each "type" of bookshelf is really well-organized too, including clear shelf separation between "Fantasy", "Romance", and "Romantasy", really getting more granular than the "stereotypical" organization. -Littleton's Market, with its coffee shop is in the same strip mall. They have tons of seating over there if you want to take your book that way for reading. Crimson Cup is also down the street, though you'll need to drive to that one. -All the books look pristine. I didn't see a single copy that had bent pages or folded-over covers. -They have a cute tiny kid's rocketship in the children's book area, and it's like a super-small play space that could entertain a kid or two if parents wanted to browse books elsewhere. -It's a new bookstore, and the books are priced like new copies of the books. A few were on Kindle Unlimited, but for the ones that weren't, the prices here at Storyline were cheaper than buying on Amazon. We bought a couple, as I'm happy to support a small business in town, and I was just impressed to see that their pricing is so competitive to Amazon. CONS: -I really don't have a single thing. I'd love for it to have an attached coffee shop, but now I'm just changing their entire business plan on them.
