    When you walk in to this place and walk the aisles, you find that this store tries to be all things to all people to the point where it is a distraction. You find everything from religious candles, rock T-shirts, incense, laser disks, drinks, socks, hats, accessories, lava lamps, posters, sunglasses, CDs, VHS and DVDs, etc, etc....you get the idea. They have a lot more new vinyl than they have used vinyl. None of the used vinyl is sleeved in plastic and they price everything on the back of the record cover. There was some vintage equipment offerings, but not much to see. Next to their checkout counter, you'll find the high dollar vinyl and not far from that are the recent arrivals. If you don't see what you're looking for, they are willing to order it. They even have a couple of boxes on the floor of free records. Definitely a great place to find your favorite artist on a T-shirt. Plenty of photos for greater insight.

    I love records I'm working on my collection. I'm also a mama and a homeschool teacher I realized that the children's records I had captured my kids attention, by the way all have autism. It was a breakthrough and sometimes going old school shows stellar results. The obstacles I faced was that vinyl is now making a comeback and so many are demanding more. I went to Piranha Records because I was looking for Sound of Music, the service was great, Professional and personable. I talk a lot and all the guys that work there showed patience with me that first time. Today I went in to find Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas Eve and other stories and Barbara Mandrell Home for Christmas, he found it right away and ordered it for me which I adored him for, in a strictly platonic way. The gems I found were more children's records and there are so many Christmas albums as I write this it is 38 days til Christmas, so if you need Christmas albums this store has it because the gentleman I spoke with is my spirit animal and has Christmas albums that you didn't know you needed to buy. For the non Christmas people there are still gems. The store has a diverse selection, the employees make it worth coming back to; because their brains are epic and they make you feel like you're being heard that's where the personable professionalism was perfected. But the patience my daughter and I were shown, the sweetness, makes me want to recommend the business. If you're not shopping here, you need to start. Stop reading this I already said I talk a lot.

    If you're visiting Austin TX this is a must stop shop. The Employees are super friendly, they have a vinyl turn table so you can listen to your records, but if you're nice enough they'll play your record over the shops speakers. The store has more than just vinyl, from posters to shirts, to cassette tapes. This is an essential stop if you're visiting Austin TX

    Humor throughout!

    Buyer beware!!! My 15 year old bought a bag ($37.88) that…read morewas in a glass case that she was unable to see the size of the strap. With the bag on and the strap completely stretched out it barely hit her hip. We walked right back into the store to return it. They do not do returns and there are absolutely zero signs stating this. The person working today was glued to her phone so didn't hear when we originally asked for help. I told her that it's sketchy not to have signs posted stating that they don't do refunds. She said that she just works there. I then ask for a number to someone that can assist in getting signs posted. She doesn't have a number. Convenient. I then say if you have an issue with your paycheck who do you call. She stated my boss. I said perfect I'll call that number. She stated she would not give me her bosses number. I said ok then you can message them and tell them you have a disgruntled customer and have them call the store. She flat out refused to help. I had to call an entirely different store to try and get changes made. It's fishy not to have signs posted about no refunds. We have been into this store MANY times and have bought many things here. The staff we have seen there in the past has never told us of this policy. Never again!

    Let me first start by saying the chick that was working today. Could you be any more rude? Not only…read moredid we walk in and your store was completely dead, looks like you were as well. You didn't say hi nor welcome not even a f*ck you, well thats ok I guess. Im a glutton for punishment, As me and my associates mingled and browsed in your store you did nothing hell I wasn't sure you were even a real person. Anyway This place is actually really nice once you get past the trash customer service. Awesome retro games, dvds, plushes and other cool stuff. Decent prices, fantastic layout. Anyways, thank god the petite chick showed up to work and helped us with our purchase just wish the other chick would wake up.

So for my most recent visit here, I don't know if we just happened to come at a particularly slow time, but they priced a big box of books we brought in super fast. So if you're selling and are low on time maybe try this Half Price Books location? They had a few carts outside which helped us bring the box in so that's a plus. It is a nice spot with plenty of selection. It's all well kept as well. There's plenty of parking and everything is nice. I managed to snag a birthday gift for my hubs here on a visit, I managed to find a hardback book he had been looking for in pretty solid condition.

My friend gave me the scoop on this spot during my January Austin trip so it was only appropriate we'd pay this place a visit and check it out. Located on Justin Lane, it fits right into the small shopping area on the slant. As you roll in, you'll be surrounded by crates upon crates of records that are new and pre-owned. While mostly classic rock, jazz, and some country, you will find rap/hip-hop, r&b, pop, international, and soundtracks here. There's also a listening station if you want to sample a record before purchase (anything that's not sealed of course). While prices of vinyl have gone up as the industry is under attack by that ugly thing called inflation, there are some bargain bin records available in the store. Most are in average to below-average condition but you can find some good things there if you're patient with your browsing. There's also some seating to rest yourself as you go through whatever purchases you have. T-shirts, CDs, stickers, and some posters are for sale too. But that's not why you're here, the vinyl is the main draw obviously. And this store is probably my favorite for that in Austin at the moment!

I've met people here at the Starbucks inside and even browsed the store with friends to kill time. I know in this day of age, people are not reading books and magazines in paper form, but you can find some excellent gifts here. I've found some great gifts for many friends and relatives here. My niece loves the little collectibles they have here where it's a mystery what's inside of it. Check out the gift finder online! I always have a hard time trying to find things for people and it's a great tool to give you some ideas. You can even buy online and pick up in store. That's convenient if you know what you want and don't want to wait for shipping. The staff is friendly. I really don't need any help finding anything as I just wander around. The line moves fast to check out so don't let that deter you from coming. Parking is easy, but the parking lot is shared with restaurant and retail shoppers so during Christmas it can get crazy.
