I'm not sure what to expect and what to say. It's a really expensive thrift store. It's not quite a collectible shop cause there's so many things that are dirty and dusty. Everything is very pricey. Even damaged boxes are given a hefty price tag. read more

While hanging out in Folsom the other day, my husband and I decided to visit The Cave to see if we could expand our growing Funko Pop collection. I really liked that the Folsom location had a way bigger selection of Funko Pops than the Arden location. There is so much stuff to look through in general at this location, since it's roomier. I specifically scoured the shelves for some Funko Pops to take home, and came across the cutest Jurassic World one (shown below) that I just needed to buy. I also discovered a beautiful Elvis Funko, but that one I decided to hold off on for now. My husband bought a Mewtwo Funko as well (not shown). Most of the Funkos were in really good condition. There was a Stranger Things Funko that I really wanted but alas the previous owner had damaged the box. From a collector's standpoint, the prices are fair. Of course this location had other collectibles and items for sale, such as clothes, records, and whatnot. I've got plenty of records at home and only want to purchase very specific records these days, so I didn't really bother to look in their record aisles. The staff were friendly and chill. I will definitely return to check for more Funko Pops in the near future! read more

A close friend told me that I could find what my kiddo was looking for here, so I was happy to try to avoid Christmas traffic and save a trip down to Arden mall. The last time I went there was only music, and I thought the Roseville store didn't have them either. But this place is an utter nightmare. I asked the young man at the counter about the two figures ai was looking for, and he gave me a grifter smile and told me to turn around and look. I assume he menat that I should look around, but this place is a pigsty. There is suff piled on top of each other, and it was only then that I realized the entire store smelled like old dirty carpet. Perhaps this place smells and looks normal for a hoarder teenager, but I felt dirty just being there. Thinking about it turns my stomach. What happened to Dimple??? read more

Showed up while giving my dear a tour of Folsom. Record selections good , she decided to get an Earth Wind and Fire one. CDs were a bit low stock but I got a zingy Marley one for 5. The thrift side of clothes is interesting they have all styles. Sports gear was something that perhaps they could use a bit of research, I got a 20 dollar soccer jersey from a team in Costa Rica, made by the brand kappa. Bit of a steal considering it had new clothes tags . Will return someday read more

I love The Cave and I love that the Folsom location is in the old Dimple Records building, keeping its roots, and that legacy, alive. They have a huge selection of everything you could ever want. I have scored some serious gems at this location. Also, their staff is genuinely great. They're fun and helpful and not snarky hipsters. The only Achilles heel to The Cave is a serious lack of organization. I mean, I get it. You go into The Cave to dig for treasures but not all of us are 17 with an endless amount of time on our hands. The Cave is doing a great job of keeping the record store alive and well in our digital age of streaming and I would 10/10 recommend. read more

Interesting place. They have some of the widest selection of any similar place I have been to, but that does come at the cost of quality assurance. Products are largely second hand, so this is not strange nor is it a deal breaker. Prices are a bit high for some things, but you can find great deals here if you take your time. Not much point in commenting on the staff; it is varied each time you go in. Different folks and circumstances; neither good nor bad at the end of the day. 5 stars for being a decent business and an interesting place to go do some window shopping. If you buy any clothes or plushes from here, wash them thoroughly. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service. Looking to take advantage and low ball customers, especially the elderly. Shame on them. read more

I was really excited to come up on these two records just to find out that the wrong records were inside of them. One of them was even in a plastic wrap. I called to see if there was some way to get a refund over the phone and unfortunately, that's not possible. While I could have accepted that, the person I spoke with over the phone was dismissive and said "Mhm there's nothing we can do over the phone. Sorry about that, I hope your day gets better". That last comment was rude and unsolicited- not sure what warrants the patronizing attitude, but the comments on here about rude customer service certainly check out. read more

Records are badly organized; prices not good; lots of silly merch like bobble heads (or worse). Not going back.

I personally love all of the cave locations, and the stores in general so I might be a bit biased but the customer service is good the selection is good some things are listed a bit pricey but because of quality the only I do have to say is they don't really offer you what you're stuff is worth sometimes when making trades but overall pretty good read more

I brought in hundreds of dollars' worth of 70s Beatles vinyl LPs and other things. I was offered less than $30 for all. Are you kidding me? Waste of time. It was rather insulting. Also, when I went to pick up my belongings 24 hours later (they said I had two days to decide whether or not to take their offer) an employee had to get one of my items from the floor. read more

If you're a collector of physical media (CDs, records, video games, movies etc), I recommend checking this place out. The store is huge. They carry anime merch, Japanese snacks, some anime and video game blind boxes, and of course, tons of action figures (used and new) from various anime, video games, and 80s and 90s cartoons. It can be overwhelming to look at everything but at the same time can be a lot of fun just looking at all the older stuff. It's like a comic and anime store mixed with a music record store. They also sell second hand clothing but I found the selection to be underwhelming for women. If you're looking for vintage brands this isn't the place. I did manage to get something here from my favorite Y2K brand so that was nice. The staff was friendly and nice. read more

I absolutely love The Cave, but it's so messy in here. I wish they'd clean it up some, organize and make it look more appealing. Everything is just scattered and looks like a messy flea market inside. I probably wouldn't trust buying clothes from here. They do have pretty awesome items though! read more

i love this place brochacho! they had so many funko pop in each aisle and they had some great piece of clothing which was verr pretty yayayy anywyas they have all good stuf u need very good quality definetly recommend pls go here plsplspls oh and they also have anime which was very useful in my daily life ty for ur time read more

This place is aptly named the Cave. The decor is a time warp to a typical teenage boys bedroom in the 1980s in a John Hughes movie. They got gently used vinyl, CDs, DVDs, gaming, movie posters, props, clothes, cosplay costumes, shoes, animated action figures, comic books, collectible toys, stuffed animals, playing cards.... blah blah blah. Complete with a bit of disorganization, messiness, and mugginess. I spotted a He Man, Lieutenant Barkley Star Trek Next Generation, and Lisa Left Eye Lopes action figures in its original packaging. A blast from the past. I left them on the shelf though. So go on in and get them. Hubs bought some vinyl records. The vinyls are not in a particular order, not by genre or alphabetical by artist. So pack some patience while going through the stacks. This place is worth checking out when you are on the hunt for the rare hard to find oldies. There are not a lot of these types of businesses left. read more

This stores a scam they get all there product from other people that they low ball then up scale the price out the wazoo it's a scam company designed to take the most money they can with giving the least back this people and the people do not care about you ive been fooled way to many times. read more

I swear they take forever to give you a offer on items shouldn't Take 2 hours to test a ps2 scan the games in inventory check etc. All they do is stand around and talk to the workers instead of helping the customer. This is my first time here and definitely gonna be my last. Fair game and other stores only take like 20 minutes of your time. Hire better employees!! Then get offered $50 haha The market for these are worth more read more

THE CAVE in Folsom well well well I've been told / it's been said I exemplify an exuberant "pick-me" ass boy type energy so clearly my opinion may be a little biased in favor of the excellent customer service above high-quality product standard merchandise, absolute top tier A+ buyer knowledge extremely versatile buying staff and all of the employees at this location are nothing less than professional and I just enjoy my time spent at the cave locations overall. nothing but an awesome unforgettable positive experience with them here at the cave can't wait to come back. thank you cave. would recommend highly recommend. As to yelps amazing five stars what went well what didn't go well yelp this was a 10 out of 10 star type situation. Not to mention the vast almost overwhelming selection of music, clothing, toys, collectibles, and just about anything else you can imagine. If it's cool, they've got it. read more

Totally over priced Vinyl. I can order new albums on Amazon for cheaper! I won't be back. The Cave has collapsed!

Very rude customer service, I asked to look at some shoes they had in stock the reply I got was "you can't go back there but somebody can help you out". I waited for a bit and decided to leave because no one was trying to help me out. There were 4 employees behind the counter either on the phone or behind a computer. Will not be returning and do not recommend this place to anyone. Linsey was the employee that gave me that response. I understand if you're in the middle of something and ask me to wait for a few minutes but brushing off a customer to someone else is very unprofessional. I attached photos of the shoes behind the counter that I was trying to take a closer look at. read more

It is overpriced if you are looking to actually make a purchase here. I do like that they have something for everyone here though. I found some really cool vintage Bratz dolls that I am interested in wanting. Although they are slightly over-priced. I understand that these collectibles are vintage but I agree with others on here..their prices are truly outrageous. I can find the same deals online Mercari or Facebook Marketplace. Selling here isn't bad though. I have taken some items and they give an (okay) decent cash offer that I've accepted. I live out of town but I still would come back to sell again. read more

When I heard my beloved new and used Books, DVD and CD store Dimple Records had been closing I was devastated. I collect Movies and TV sets, as well as Harry Potter Books so it pays to save and they had the best deals with buy backs included. Once I came in with a whole laundry basket full of DVDS and later books to sell. Driving by the other day I noticed the sign "The Cave" and on Sunday my boyfriend and I stopped by to check it out. It turns out the son of the cofounders that opened Dimple Records in the 70's started up The Cave! When you walk in it instantly takes you back, It's the same concept as Dimple Records only bigger and better! They have an entire section of Comic books which line the wall, clothing, purses, shoes, toys, collectibles and of course DVDS, Video Games and Vinyls. Behind the registers the walls were also lined with posters and characters that remind us of what we enjoyed in our childhoods! Ah brings back memories, including a huge Beaker from the Muppet Show, pretty amazing! We were pressed for time so I didn't have a whole lot of time to peruse around the store, but I did purchase a nice top for New Years for get this.. $3.99, what a steal! I would highly recommend paying a visit to this store, the cashier mentioned they are in the process of setting up a rewards program as well! Stop in and support a small and local business, they're open daily from 10:00 AM-10:00 PM, their website is http://TheCaveStores.com and @thecavestores on Instagram! I'll definitely be returning in the near future and also be recommending it to all my friends and family! Especially during the holiday season, money can be tight and places like these are great for affordable last minute gifts! read more

The Cave - The cb established 1962 top on! - Music & DVDs Near Me - Folsom, California

Funny story, my wife suggested that we watch a classic movie called "Bachelor Party" that came out the same year I was born, lol. Well, come to find out, in a world of streaming services, we couldn't locate this title for anything!!!! Finally, it became an all-out hunt to track it down. I called stores from Escalon to the Bay Area, trying to find a copy. Nada. We were almost giving up hope until I found a place on Yelp called 'the Cave'..... I thought, well, this place sounds interesting. This is in July of 2021. I called first to not waste a trip; they put me on a brief hold and then came back, "Yes, we have it." I asked again, are you SURE? ...... Yup. Holy ********.....well, I guess we're driving to Folsom. And sure enough, there it was. By the end of this quick trip, we left with like $50 worth of merchandise ranging from toys, CDs, DVDs, energy drinks.... It was mildly reminiscent of when I used to work for Blockbuster, and I miss that store vibe! We will definitely be returning guests in the future. read more

My hubby and I were big fans of Dimple, so we were happy to find out that The Cave existed. It has everything that Dimple had and more. Packed wall to wall with pretty much every collectible thing out there. Recently I bought my husband a record player so we were looking for records. The Cave has a pretty big collection. They also have a ton of Funko Pops and fun collectible toys. My only gripe (my husbands actually) is that all of their comics are in cabinets and they are very hard to find what you are looking for. With that being said---they also have a lot of comics! Great place, lots of employees willing to answer questions. Tip: There's a decent sized strip of parking on the side of the building too! read more

I love going here and me and my partner come here all the time. I even sell some of my clothing here. Only thing I have to complain about is that when you sell your clothes you don't get that much money from it and then you see the same item selling for way more than what they paid you for it. But I mean it makes sense because how else are they supposed to get money. Also every time I interact with the employees they are always so sweet and I would definitely recommend shopping there! read more

I was in search of some LPs, but with Tower and Dimple out of the picture I turned to some thrift shops. What a disappointment those were. My last stop for the day was The Cave. Boy, did they come through! Hundreds of LPs to choose from! Reasonable prices for this day-in-age. They had a ton of other music related stuff too. Great find and worth another look! read more

While it will never be as cool as Dimple Records, The Cave is a worthy successor and is doing it's best to provide a place where one can hunt for stuff. Nostalgia is the business model, instead of media on it's own merit. read more

I already told you they took her food lied about it. They were gone now they're selling them at another store.

An amazing selection of new and used vinyl records, not really organized alphabetically but instead by genre. An amazing video game and toy collection, they are on the higher side if one really wants to price shop, they may find substantially lower prices online. But nevertheless support your local business. read more

This place is a dump. RIP dimple records!! The employees that work here are horrible when it comes to customer service. The selection is poor and the place is musty and dusty. Dimple had some class about it , but this place is a huge disappointment. I will never come back read more

Really cool store with lots of different items such as clothes, tech, collectibles, art, and more. Kind and helpful employees. Not the best prices. Avoid selling to this store (through their buyback system) if you're bringing any items that have real value to them. After bringing multiple items to sell to the store, they only offer prices at around 15-20% of an item's resell value. read more

I like to stop here from time to time because I'm local in the area. I like quirky shops like this for I used to work at one in the bay area during my college days. Today's visit was to sell, because I'm doing some spring cleaning and will be moving soon. Less stuff to haul around the better. I came in and was greeted by staff as soon as I walked in. I did my normal sweep around the store. If I wasn't moving I did see a couple things I wouldn't mind picking up. It's not every day you see a Neo Geo AES cart with case in the wild, yet alone in Folsom. I went up to the front desk and inquired about trade ins. I was told to go ahead and bring them in. I brought my goods to the trade counter where I was met with the employee handling trades. They greeted me and they asked me what I was bringing in along with a simple form for me to fill out and sign. I dropped my stuff off and was told they would text me when the offer is ready. Works for me for I live relatively close to the store, but your milage may vary, so keep that in mind. My turn around time for today's trade was roughly about an hour. I came back after I got my text and was greeted by the trade desk. I informed them that I got the offer. I opted for the cash offer and the manager on hand came in to have me sign the rest of the paperwork and then cashed me out. The process was pretty painless. Could I have made more money if I sold the stuff myself? Yes, but given that I am in the process of decluttering and moving, I can't wait for something to sell. Plus I don't want to deal with processing fees, shipping, and all the issues that happens with that. This was quick(er) and easy. My one gripe: Just wish the store was organized better. Especially the toys on top of shelves and racks. If I had an easier time looking for stuff I would likely spend more in the store. Presentation is everything. read more

This place is a rats nest of garbage. Disorganized, dirty, and disgusting. To top it off, the music they play is not appropriate for anyone under 18 and it's cranked all the way up. Avoid this place! read more

I brought in some items at 730 pm and there was nobody ahead of me and they don't close till 10pm and they asked me to come back in the morning... really?? It takes you 3 hours to go thru some jewelry read more

Thank. Freaking. Goodness. For this place! When Dimple closed, it hit me pretty hard. Being a music lover and also a child of the 80s, it's been hard for me to grasp the streaming music. Don't get me wrong, I do it. But I would much rather pick out my favorite CD to put on. It's no secret that actual music stores are becoming extinct and that makes me incredibly sad. I could spend hours in a store just flipping through CDs. My very first date I ever went on when I was 15, he took me CD shopping! In addition to a large music selection, they also have a nice selection of used T-shirts and clothing. A lot of really great retro toys also! Some really fun nostalgic candy and things too. Thank you to THE CAVE for existing. We need more of places like you on this earth. read more

The Cave - Music & DVDs Near Me - Folsom, California

I absolutely loved Dimple records and I know that this is not the concept. However, this is a great place to find anything and everything from vinyl record store items, to vintage toys, clothing, and much more at a very well overpriced deal!. The staff at the Folsom store staff...or overpaid "I'm just here for my participation trophy " kids, are not helpful at all. I called one day and asked about selling some items and they said yes we are always willing to help and looking to but merchandise. I literally took e boxes of music from the blues, buddy guy to Warren Zevon...punk..rock..ect. So the guy literally took 15 minutes to look through at least 200 cd's and items, to say...we aren't buying anything! Not just my stuff....Nothing!...wow...I sure would love to talk to the owner. Bummer guys. I would like to apply for a weekend job, just to show what great customer service is, and also how to inventory your damn store read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE my mom took me here and it was absolutely amazing. I got posters, magazines, and stickers!!! There is Clothes, nerf guns, old comic books, everything for preteens, teens, young adults, and geeks ( which being a geek isn't a bad thing). I would really recommend to anyone who's into Action figures, Movies, and anything that cooperates with fun and games. 5 STAR because managed well, cashier was awesome, and gave 2 free stickers! read more

A lot of neat toys, but most of the stuff is overpriced for what it is. Not to mention there's too much confusion over what's actually "new" and what's "used." All-in-all, I DO NOT recommend shopping here. Earlier this summer I purchased a figure but didn't notice that it had been previously opened. It was taped up to look new, but was missing a bunch of items. I didn't discover this until I returned home. Due to the rampant wildfires we had all summer long, which resulted in toxic air quality + the pandemic, it wasn't a top priority task for me to try and return a $15 item to a store nearly an hour away. When I was able to drive back there they would not take the item back, claiming that I should have known that it was used, and also told me that 99% of everything in the store is used. This is even after I told them that it was my first time shopping there so I was unfamiliar with their store, services, and items. However, they didn't seem to care and I left with my deceptively used figure...which is still sitting in a bag on the back seat floorboard of my car. BTW, they have a massive wall of "used" Funko Pop toys (they're all new, just stickered as used). They also have a bunch of old figures in blister packs hanging up everywhere that aren't technically "used." So they decided to be rude and lose a customer over a $15 toy. Nice. read more

This has instantly become one of my new favorite stores, as it has such a nostalgic feeling. The music they play, the items they sell it's like a trip back to the 90s. I've seen toys (wrestling figures, happy meal items and etc), apparel (hats, shirts and shoes) and more that remind me of my childhood times. The stock seems to change every few weeks to months, which makes it like a treasure hunt to find what you're looking for. Customer service is very friendly and most of the items have a fair if not great price, only a few are a little over priced. Folsom has more figures and cds where Sacramento has more apparel and shoes from what I noticed. read more
