Nostalgia factor through the roof. I swear some of the posters up are the same. A solid selection of vinyl, cds, and other music needs. I saw a small wall of books for sale as well. They're still buying 2nd hand if your items are in demand and good condition. We were not in there to sell so I can't speak to any rules or advice there. We did score a couple used and new vinyl to gift the in laws and it made them mighty happy come xmas day.

The staff doesn't seem like they want to work here. Not super friendly or very attentive…read more I am not a big fan of new vinyl being mixed in with old used vinyl. The majority of their stock is used vinyl and that's great if you're into that, which I am not. The new records I did purchase had permanent impressions on the cover from their anti-theft tag. there were only a couple people in the store. How hard is it to pay attention to what they are doing. A lot of used hi fi gear that's not in great shape seems to be collecting dust. Pretty underwhelming experience overall and I won't be back. It was my second trip. Too many other good record stores in the Tampa Bay Area to patronize.

The employees there are always so nice and helpful, their cafe has great drinks and treats (my personal favorite is their rose chai with pistachio milk, have to buy it every time) they are my local book store so it's very convenient if I want to add more books to my tbr corner . The only downside is they don't have all the books in the world, the books and music that are available are the only ones available. But that's totally fine because you can always browse and discover more authors and genres that they have available. 11/10 will recommend this place, it's like my very own heaven. AND TIP YOUR BARISTAS!!!

Definitely have everything a new collector might want but may not have the deep cuts a long-time collector (like me) would be looking to purchase. Prices - a tad high. But I expected that considering I'm in a metropolitan area. Their rent is probably super high, but I don't mind paying an extra $2-3 per book to keep an independent store open. Regarding those deep cuts: - I did find some authors that I think are often overlooked, including Richard K. Morgan, Chuck Tingle, and Ann Leckie. - I was saddened to see that there was no Ronald Malfi in stock, which I find to be a mainstay in horror. - There was no Between the Buried and Me vinyl in stock, which saddens me due to concert tonight (that's why I drove all the way to this coast). Rating - 4.2/5.0

Green Shift Comics - Tampa's Hidden Gem for Comics & Guitars!…read more If you're a comic fan--or just want to check out some cool guitars--Green Shift Comics is a must-visit. This shop is a goldmine of comics. Whether you're hunting for the latest releases or a hard-to-find classic, Green Shift has it all.

What we found was an amazing opportunity. They actually had a great selection of vinyl and CDs even DVDs and BluRays. New and used. Vintage and modern. Definitely not the worst. Actually, this is a solid stop, with only one caveat... the place is so overfilled with stock that it's actually hard to move around inside. And some areas that we wanted to dig through were inaccessible. That said, the owner was super nice and inviting. Seems to have a good knowledge of his inventory. Would stop in again if I'm back in the area. If you have the time to dig and search, definitely check it out. If they can clear some stuff and make it easier to walk around inside, definitely a 4-star place.
