This place is a treasure. Full of comics, sports cards, collectables, VHS tapes, records and more. The floor full sports cards in the sports cards section is magic. I will be spending a lot of money at this store. I will have to spend slowly or I will be in trouble. Prices seemed fair to me. People working it were super nice. I hope the community will support this place. Definitely something for everyone here. read more

I was trying to do a consignment deal and the person that does the trading cards was looking at my card and I declined at the offer. He then slap my card on the counter, creating a ding bad customer service read more

No matter how many times I go I still find myself looking around for about an hour. Always cool and new things coming in. Staff is top notch. read more

If Amoeba music in Hollywood merged with an antique shop and a pawn shop, this would be it. I was visiting from out of town and thought I'd stop in this store because I saw it was a music store. When I walked in I was shocked at how big of a space this was. It was packed with records, CD's, old record players, VCR, DVD players, stereos, light-up signs, you name it! I could easily spend hours there going through all the music they had. It's seriously so cool. I browsed through various record sections an found some old Hawaiian records and randomly went through a CD section that happened to have tons of old Studio One reggae CD's. Felt like I came across someones prized reggae CD collection. I ended up buying one for $10 because my work vehicle is so old it has a CD player, so I left with a souvenir from here. Definitely would come back every time I'm in the area. It's such a gem of a store! read more

Paradise Trading Post - LFG! Studio One, Sir Coxone mix! - Vinyl Records Near Me - Santa Maria, California

A phenomenal place! fair, honest and the widest selection of memorabilia! Seriously I have spent hours here and I still find new stuff!

I could have spent hours here but we weren't really in the area for window shopping and we had to mosey on. But I'm glad to know it's there and if I'm in the area again, I will definitely stop by for a more thorough visit. They've got a ton of STUFF to peruse - music, toys, collectibles, comic books, you name it, it's probably in there - and the staff are friendly. read more

Eveyone at the shop rocks and is always eager and willing to help when needed. Add that with all the crazy deals and giveaways they do daily and your in store for a real good time !! read more

A treasure trove of sci-fi, fantasy and nostalgic memorabilia in an inconspicuous location. The place is far bigger on the inside than on the outside. Definitely not just a record store as the sign may have you believe. read more

Walked in expecting to find vinyls but stumbled upon so much nostalgia. There's so much to go through. Comics, toys, figurines, vinyl's, CDs, lunch boxes. The prices are negotiable. I'd recommend checking eBay and comparing prices. The people walking around aren't the people to negotiate with so don't waste your time with them. There is Nazi memorabilia. The back was filled with POPs and vintage toys. I was told this section has its own seller and doesn't belong to the rest of the store. Overall you can spend lots of time in here without realizing it. Enjoy. read more

Great place staff is pretty straight forward with you and aren't ripping you off. They have a huge selection of collectibles and can fit any collectors needs. Only complaint is the collecter cards are a bit pricey and trade in value was only 50%. read more

#allthethings My son made honor roll last quarter and for his reward...he asked for basketball cards. He started out on Amazon looking for some, I suggested we go look somewhere local. He agreed instead of blindly buying a mystery box. We found a few places but one did make a huge impression on a 10yos mind,that place is here! Do you enjoy novelty items, sports memorabilia? Perhaps looking for a specific rookie card? Look no further than this local goldmine, where you're always greeted with a friendly smile and good conversation! This is now my son's favorite place to shop for any occasion. Thank you for treating Brock like a friend ! He can't wait to come back. Thank you to Mike the store manager! Not to be confused with the other Mike or the other Mike. read more

The owner of the business was very nice. There is so many collectibles here it is crazy. I thought that when my Mom used to rent a spot in Cayucos Antique Mall that they had a lot of this type of items. This warehouse of collectibles has so many items you could spend a week here and not see everything. Yet it is very organized. There is also a nice selection of old comics here. read more

Incredible store. Every time I go there I see something new. It reminds me of my childhood. My son loves it too. The owner is so kind and all the employees are very friendly and helpful. read more

Nice people and the place has cool stuff! I have sold a few things here and never felt I had a fair trade to be honest but respect the business! Just don't plan on trading things in they only give you maybe half the value! read more

This place was okay, I was able to find an assortment of comics but they were priced high. Their other selections were kind of pricey it's a good window shopping store. read more

I'll make this review nice and succinct. Searched for record shops in the area while I stopped to fuel up on my trip. They had some decent reviews so I headed over. Was initially excited to see a lot of records. As I flipped through their "New Arrivals" I was shocked to see Glen Campbell, Neil Sedaka, Bread and many other less than notable artists priced $8 to $20. I then decided to stroll through the remaining sections to see if things would improve. Sadly, this place is filled with underwhelming and overpriced records commonly found at thrift stores and old antique shops. If you are cool with paying way too much for generic records, this place is for you. For everyone else, don't waste your time. read more

Mike and his crew there were so helpful and kind! They got something pretty awesome going on there. If you are into the vintage scene, or need to find anything collectible, check them out. read more

Walked in here yesterday and instantly fell in love. My sister and I were greeted right away, there are records everywhere, old record players, Jukeboxes, nostalgia on the walls. So fun. They have bins full of $1 records.. I VIP club that if you spend $100 you get 50% of used records for life..(something similar) We walked out with some pretty cool things and I will for sure be back!! read more

I could spend an entire day wandering around in this store. Great variety of vintage toys, books, record albums! I was amazed at the size of the inventory and they offer new items all of the time. I check in regularly to see what's new and always find a 'must have' item or two! read more

Actually went out of my way to visit since I read some good reviews. Then we got there and found out this place sells a lot of Nazi memorabilia. As soon as we saw that shit, we bailed. Additionally, all their records are ridiculously overpriced--must be nice being the only record store in the area. Terrible store. Stay far away from this place. read more

The staff there are as helpful and as stylish as can be plus they have an AMAZING selection of new and used vinyl for any and every listener. More than happy with my findings today! read more

Paradise Trading Post - Frank - Vinyl Records Near Me - Santa Maria, California

A treasure trove for pop culture collectibles and music lovers! We hit the mother lode of vinyl and even a few cds for the road trip back home. Great prices, amazing selection, & really kind owner and knowledgeable staff. We had a blast thumbing through rows and rows of music and walked out with a huge stack of great albums! Do yourself a favor and make this a must stop when in Santa Maria or Pismo area. read more

Paradise. Yes, the name of this fine establishment is indeed, nothing short of a trip to paradise. Upon entering you are greeted with an amazing staff always around to answer any questions you might have. The entire square footage of the store is filled with an eclectic array of records, vintage collectables, memorabilia, as well as odd rarities that will definitely make a trip to Paradise worthwhile. Recently I purchased Mac Millers - Faces Vinyl Record ( if you haven't heard let me put you on ). The combination of having a quality product, peak staff patience, as well as the general vibes in the building is what makes me come back time and time again. I'd go on but yall should check it out for yourselves :) Thanks again - Michael ( MJ ) read more

Place is a joke .... Asked if price was negotiable on some Garbage Pail Kids and young girl didn't even give it a thought because as she said " those are lower priced items" with a lil attitude which rubbed me the wrong way.. I don't care if you're firm on your price but to not even ask if it's a possibility or entertain the idea ... screw this place read more

This store is awesome so many cool items the people working there are super friendly nice and professional. They took there time to go over my items I wanted to sell and paid me a very fair price. Also gave me info on some collectibles I had questions about. I used to be a card collector and browsed there cards for sale and they have some real gems in there. Such a blessing to have a place like this keep up the good work Paradise Trading Post! read more

This is definitely my kinda place!! Brought some stuff to trade and got a good return, plus meeting the owner, Mike, was a surprising benefit. I always enjoy talking about my favorite subject, JUNK! And Mike and Justin were friendly, welcoming and very easy to work with, trading stuff. If you are looking for 'nerd stuff', CDs, DVDs, vinyl and just plain old unusual stuff, this is definitely a 'must visit'!! I may end up being a regular visitor, AND get rid of a lot of stuff I no longer need. read more

Cool record store with lots to choose from. Spend over $100 and you are part of the VIP club -50% off used and -10% off new . Such a deal and the owner is a good dude. I'll be back next week for more vinyl! read more

this place is the coolest place ever! I got a ton of cool cassettes from here and the works are all super cool and nice. This place has all sorts of records, antiques, comics, and toys. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I was a DJ in La Paz Bolivia, The Castle Disco and Candilejas Disco, at the end of the 70's and beginning of the 80's, now it is my hobby. I moved many times to Venezuela and then Puerto Rico and I lost my music collections and other things in 2017 when Hurricane Maria passed through the island. 6 years ago i moved to Santa Maria, I found this store and thanks to the good attention of Miguel and his team, now I have again my music collection and my DJ hobby, if you are looking for music equipment, music on CD, vinyl, you are a collector, this is your place. read more

Mike and Kenneth were so friendly and extremely accommodating. There are many different items available in-store as well as on their eBay store, with a vinyl collection that was particularly impressive. Great experience overall and hope to be back soon next time we're in the area! read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! I drove 20 miles to buy an advertised electronics item from this store and its owner, Mike. Before I drove to the store, I called to confirm a time with Mike to be sure he'd be there. He was not there at the agreed time, and I had to wait an hour for him to even show up (without any apology). I drove home after the purchase only to find that the item was totally broken and non-functional. After informing him that the unit was broken this guy, Mike, acted as though I was the problem with the deal. No apology, no acknowledgement of error, no professionalism whatsoever. He sold me a broken item without any remorse, which realistically means that he'll sell anyone else a broken item without hesitation. There was another employee there, an ugly dude who was particularly rude as well. This is a store best avoided. read more

Got there at 12 noon on Sunday to sell some vinyl, CD, cassettes. Mike had a bubbly personality and gives a fair price for cash or exchange. The service was efficient and I walked away with a fair deal. read more

They have a awesome selection of records and once you spend $100 on vinyl, they are forever half off!! Also if you are looking for antiques or vintage items this is the place to go. If you are looking for an unique gift or item they most likely have something to fit your needs. They also have an eBay store with thousands of other items! Great staff and location:) read more

We love this place! There is definitely something for everyone. You never know what your going to find. The staff are amazing, best customer service. Thanks for making my sons day taking the time to find what he was looking for. read more

I came in for my very first time a few weeks ago. Mike, the owner was super helpful and really knew his vinyl. Picked up a great receiver and speakers so I can play all the vinyl I bought. He even hooked up the wires for me. Awesome. The store also has a lot of cool vintage stuff. I live in Orange County but Paradise is definitely on my list of places to drop in next time I'm in town. Great deals, great prices and great service! read more
