They have original posters for Alice in Wonderland, Star Wars, and my other great classic films. There's a bit of everything for just about everyone. They even have comics! The store is very clean and very well organized. If your looking for classic stuff to give someone or even for yourself, this is the place to be! If you love Funko Pop! they have a very nice selection of pops. They really had me on the Nightmare Before Christmas pops. I want to get them so bad! Unfortunately I don't have enough I gotta wait til payday. If you're at Coronado Center the shop is just east of the food court and west of the JC Penny's! Check them out!

They have quite a large selection of Funko Pops, movie posters, cardboard cutouts of stars in various role/costumes. For the matchbox collector there are plenty of vintage cars. They got a good selection of vintage toys too. So why the two stars you ask? Prices! VTG has a great selection but prices are up to double the MSRP. The item I was looking at was almost $ 100 over in stock online prices. Double what the manufacture sells it for. I looked at few other new items and found similar high markups. I believe profit is not a dirty word, exorbitant prices are. I'm all about instant gratification, but not at those prices. Pass this one up.

How To Buy Records At "We Buy Music"…read more ~ Overview The venue has a large selection of LPs, mostly in uncategorized boxes marked "New Arrivals". The owner is nice enough, but I don't chat. Other reviewers say he knows things, or use other descriptions. My preference is rare jazz instrumentals or rare Americana on a defunct record label that is not on the internet. I need to research thoroughly before I buy. After several visits I finally bought some rare albums. I was very curious about pricing. ~How To Deal With No Price Tags "New Arrivals" are not tagged. It's a tough way to shop. To the store's credit, prices fluctuate and these LPs might stay on the shelves for several years, and it's a one-man operation. Connect to Discogs.com, find your record, and look at the "Median" price, or seller "total" price that includes shipping. Now you're armed with pricing knowledge. ~ Procurement Procedure You Should Know Take the LPs to the desk, then browse some more because it takes several minutes per album to price it. The owner checks the disc, adds sleeves if missing, then goes online (perhaps Discogs or some other database) for pricing info, then places a red price tag on the cover. His rates hover around the median on Discogs, but We Buy Music is not cheap per se. However, you already did your research and you know what is a good price or not. Some LPs are already tagged and returned to the bins unsold. Some of these returns are overpriced. ~ Make The Acquisition You'll get a store stamp card that accrues $10 credit for every $100 spent. You'll spend a lot on rarities. You might not get a receipt. ~ Open Seven Days Morning To Dusk The store is open often with hardly any customers. It's an apparent warehouse as storefront. With the owner's knowledge and large collection, he probably sells online through several portals although the business card has no web address. ~ We Buy Music Has The Largest Selection, But No Prices Or Sales The vendor is tops for selection, but no true bargains. Sometimes Nob Hill Music, Mecca, and Antiques and Things have sales, and albums are tagged. If you're lucky, you might find a rare LP at a flea market or thrift store, but don't count on it. ~ I'm Not A Vinyl Collector Or Audiophile My priority is the music, not the medium. I buy rare LPs, digitize them to wav on good gear, then resell them. If it's on Spotify/Tunepat, I'll download it there and add it to my collection. I'm not an audiophile, I don't sit in front of fabulous speakers and listen to every nuance. MP3 is fine: at home, on the bus, low riding, etc.

Unfortunately, though, most things are out of my budget. This is not surprising given the curation and high average quality of item per stall, but it leaves me miffed when something is marked up so high past my understanding of its worth. Still, one day I will be coming back for that taxidermy antelope that has been staring my down for years now.

Be careful of the descriptions used on their pieces of furniture. We bought a "teak bookcase"; on…read moredelivery, the bookcase is teak veneer over MDF and the cardboard backing does not match the woodgrain of the teak. We should've used our phone flashlight and gone over the item much more closely. The owner said that if it was teak, it would have been labeled "solid teak." I think it should have been described as "teak veneer." I wonder if the credit card charge can be disputed, as that is my only recourse. It the owner feels that the average used furniture shopper knows the nuances of his labeling, in my opinion he is wrong. I am leaving this review for those shoppers that are not savvy to this and will ask further questions before purchasing. We won't return to either of the stores.

I've been trying to do more bookstore lurking since I moveed here but there aren't that many good stores here. I love the Friends of the Library way up in Rio Rancho but that's a long drive. But I had a doctor appointment which happened to be a block from here so I checked it out. The first thing is that you know this is a book lovers book store with staff favorites right in the front. The main thing is how many stacks and categories they have. If you're looking for books about NM and the South West they have multiple shelves. But they also have tons of speciality shelves like Pulp Fiction and Romantasy. It's a great place to spend hours lurtking the stacks. I've been twice since I discovered it.

This is a great bookshop, among the best in Albuquerque. Definitely worth regular visits. I love…read moreit. I don't feel, however, that I can recommend that anyone sell books to them. They offer a pittance. It is really insulting, actually. A couple of years ago, I brought a couple of boxes of books to them (the kinds of books you routinely see on their shelves, so nothing strange) and accepted their offer out of what I later came to see as a misplaced sense of politeness: their offer had left me so stunned that I just went along with the whole thing and accepted it. Almost immediately I felt ripped off, taken advantage of. Later, I had to go through and clear out a dead relative's library. It took a long time to sort through, but at the end of the day I had around 40 boxes of books. I'd taken out the valuable things to sell online, I admit, as you should never sell the really valuable things to a used bookstore when it's easy enough to do so online. These were things like signed first editions and presentation copies and other rare books. There were a few boxes of those. There were also about 15 boxes of books that would have gone down well at Page 1, given what I know of what they have on their shelves. And the rest were rather more obscure. But I remembered how I had felt a couple of years ago when I had sold books to Page 1, and I decided simply to give all of the dead relative's books, minus the particularly valuable ones, to the public library. They always benefit from selling them, and I felt I'd done something good toward protecting one of the few remaining institutions that is still a purely public good. So, while technically I didn't get any money, I ended up feeling better, cleaner. Thank God for our public libraries! You should of course do what you want, but, when you take a box of books into Page 1 and inevitably feel horrified and sullied by the humiliating price they offer you--perhaps thinking you'd get more out of the books by burning them in your fireplace in winter to save on heating costs--, remember that you can just say "no" and instead donate them to the library and help make the world a better place for everyone.
