Tons of CDs, DVDs, records, and books to browse through, which was awesome to see. They also have a surprisingly large clothing section that's definitely worth taking time to go through. You could easily spend a couple of hours here just browsing. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Overall, a great stop if you're into physical media or just enjoy wandering through a big, well stocked store. I'll definitely be back.

Just like the other negative reviews say, the VIP Backstage Pass is a subscription plan, and NOT a…read morefree membership points club as their employees describe. I specifically asked the employee at the register if it was a monthly charge, and he assured me it wasn't. He was a nice and friendly kid, so I didn't push back at the time. That was my mistake for taking him at his word and believing it was an earned points club like at Old Navy, Famous Footwear, etc. In hindsight, I still cant really say if the kid knows he is selling subscriptions, or if he genuinely believes it's an earned points system. Also, canceling the subscription was a pain because of course customer service is handled out of country by an automated systems that make it nearly impossible to speak to anyone. I had to eventually just put a "stop payment" via my credit card company. This is a bummer review because I really wanted to like FYE. But I will never shop here again. Back to Mad Monk I go.

Great record store in Downtown Merced. We were up visiting family in the CV and staying in town so…read morewe checked out what they got and were pleasantly surprised, really eclectic collection, some extremely rare pieces and good finds. Look, owner knows their stuff so you're likely not going to find a OOP rarity for $5 but having collected for some time what I can tell you is compare against what you'd pay for the same title on eBay or discogs and then factor in shipping (which you won't pay at the store) and you are getting good prices on the records in the shop. I walked out with 3 records, 2 live albums I've wanted for a minute and could not have been more happy. If you're into vinyl, tapes, CDs, DVDs, check them out. Great record store!

I went with some family to look for records so my experience is more for the records side. The overall space is huge. I feel like it was at some point a big box retail store that was converted. The folks here are friendly and helpful and the selection and prices are great and are pretty much in line with market if not slightly lower. I ended up buying a couple of new records as they got some stock on Record Store Day here as well in addition to their usual huge inventory of used (and new) records. I even got to replace an old Rolling Stones live record that I loved (and at some point lost in my own collection). There's a big parking lot and it's fairly easy to find parking. It was a little hectic when we went, only because it was on Black Friday.

I just sold 4-5 bags of clothes and they took about 90% of it for $30! Comes out to about 25 cents to $1.00 for each item. I understand that they need to make a profit but ripping people off is bad business. Clearly you wanted the clothes. She also said, they would take the items they didn't buy to donate it. Uhhh no. I ended up taking her measly $30 because I was tired of having it in my car. I should've just donated everything and I wouldn't feel taken advantage of. What did I donate...Nike air (black) used 2 times, jackets, zara clothes, clothes with tags (never used) & lots of pac sun clothes.

Some of the same local artists whose art you can buy also give classes in the learning space. Exhibits rotate often, and there are always announcements for the next one. Now here's the thing with a place that displays a lot of local art: the aesthetics will vary. There are artists I think are top-notch (and I buy the print versions I can afford because my current budget doesn't stretch to originals to go over the sofa). There are artists I think are.. having a great time with self-expression (so I don't buy). Regardless, it is delightful that these are my neighbors (more or less), and many are depicting the local landscape in a part of California that tends to get neglected. Where else can I buy prints of actual Modesto-area places, rather than the "more important" beauty spots elsewhere in the state? I adore this gallery and go as often as I can. Occasionally they will feed you cheese bits or whatever, in a festive way.
