I went with some family to look for records so my experience is more for the records side. The overall space is huge. I feel like it was at some point a big box retail store that was converted. The folks here are friendly and helpful and the selection and prices are great and are pretty much in line with market if not slightly lower. I ended up buying a couple of new records as they got some stock on Record Store Day here as well in addition to their usual huge inventory of used (and new) records. I even got to replace an old Rolling Stones live record that I loved (and at some point lost in my own collection). There's a big parking lot and it's fairly easy to find parking. It was a little hectic when we went, only because it was on Black Friday.

This Rasputin's location is great. The place is HUGE. The complaint I have is DO NOT SELL YOUR…read moreCLOTHES HERE. You will get ripped off. I just sold 4-5 bags of clothes and they took about 90% of it for $30! Comes out to about 25 cents to $1.00 for each item. I understand that they need to make a profit but ripping people off is bad business. Clearly you wanted the clothes. She also said, they would take the items they didn't buy to donate it. Uhhh no. I ended up taking her measly $30 because I was tired of having it in my car. I should've just donated everything and I wouldn't feel taken advantage of. What did I donate...Nike air (black) used 2 times, jackets, zara clothes, clothes with tags (never used) & lots of pac sun clothes.

The owner is super knowledgeable he answers a lot of hard questions. Some books are a little pricey but others are low so it averages out. We left with 5 books. One was signed by an author. Another was a book that goes for $100 online and we paid $25 so we will be adding to our collection. Definitely worth coming!

I saw one review describing their place as "overwhelming." Agreed! It's delightfully overwhelming in the way that the abundance of information was discoverable prior to the linear arrangement of search engines. The collection of vintage vinyl is impressive as well, with easily the best old jazz and vocalist collection in the hinterlands of the East Bay. There are treasures to be found. Every hour spent browsing the stacks adds an hour to the end of your life.

This record store in Walnut Creek has got a lot going for it: they've got a large selection of…read morerecords in the front room and an equally large selection of budget/used records in the side room, to the left, when you walk in (that's where the real treasures are). They have live music upfront, as well as a dedicated performance space in the back of their store. They also had a great selection of free stickers that we saw on our way out. And they sell skateboards and skate paraphernalia. The only downside, which is the case for most modern records stores, is the prices reflect how popular vinyl is these days and most of the records in the front section are selling for at least $30. However... to contrast that, I saw records in their used section for as cheap as $.97, which is really great. Highly recommend.

The pricing for new vinyl is pretty consistent with what you see or find at similar independent record stores. I really like the vibe and layout of this store. It's so large that you have separate rooms for primarily their used stuff and a separate area that looks like a hang out area. There's even a room towards the back where I think they have live shows. During out visit, it was used to hold the records that came in for Black Friday or Record Store Day 2025. Came here with some family to do some holiday shopping and just generally looking for stuff. There was a coffee cart there serving up free beverages, which was a nice touch. I ended up getting a couple of records I've been looking for awhile and being able to buy a couple records my nephew wanted for Christmas. There's also plenty of street and lot parking that makes the place easily accessible.

If you're interested in different editions (Easton Press, Illumicrate, FairyLoot, etc.), there's a special section, but sometimes they have them in the regular shelves. While the prices are certainly lower than retail for these editions, they are about on par with what you could find on eBay. Still, it's nice to be able to see and hold the editions first!

At that price, you could easily buy a brand-new one elsewhere. Given that these items are donated and clearly pre-owned, the pricing doesn't seem to reflect their actual condition or value. Either prices have always been this high here, or shoppers simply don't know better. I'd rather make the drive to the Vacaville location, where there are actual deals.

One chair has an arm that needs to be reattached with a screw and wood glue and the tabletop shows 35 years of use. It is a nice piece or furniture. By the way, a week ago I turned down a $200 purchase offer for the table because I don't like being low-balled. Its a nice solid table needing some love. The Habitat truck shows up and the driver tells me it will now cost us $217 to donate it because bla bla bla I didn't understand the reasoning. I'm just trying to do a solid to the Jimmy Carter gig. I said "Never mind we will keep the table." This because I don't like being bait and switched. The furniture pick up fellows seemed not to mind not carrying the table and chairs to the truck. I was a truck driver and physical labor guy for decades. Workers not caring for the greater good? I get it though I was not that. What a waste of Habitat donated time, money and energy. We are out a $10 furniture pick up scheduling fee. Update: We got a message that we would get the $10 scheduling fee. I don't really care about that rinky dink fee. We were just trying to do Jimmy Carter and his beloved organization a solid.

Other patrons often leave bags of donations, so the shelves are stocked frequently. The store is well organized, with all the categories clearly labeled. The store is always clean and each item is clearly priced on the bag. There is a little of everything in this store, between fiction, non-fiction and children's books, as well as a decent selection of games. Along the front wall are a selection of coffee table and new(ish) books, and in the middle are tables with seasonal or topical books (including a table with President Jimmy Carter's biographies soon after he passed away). Most books are priced around $5 or less, and very few items are more than $10. On our last visit, my wife and I purchased 6 books and paid less than $30 total. There is a parking lot on site, and the volunteer staff are always very friendly and helpful.
