The best place to buy used records at a low price compared to other stores or Discogs. On top of that, they actually pay the most for used records. I'm always updating my collection and selling off various titles, (all in good condition) and at this point I have no need to look elsewhere. They've got me covered.

The staff will look up books to buy new for 20% off, too, if they are still in publication. The gentleman behind the desk showed us some special editions of some books. Although we could not buy them, it was really interesting to see. Good selection and genres are well marked so you will be able to find science or science fiction books.

When I couldn't locate a particularly popular author I asked. The friendly staff was more than happy to show me. The prices are right where they should be and you're going to love the condition of the books, no garbage here. I'm making it a monthly habit to pop-in and see what I can stumble upon.

If you're looking for lots of stock of new stuff this might not be your spot but if you want fairly priced used records then this is a great spot. I have found a lot of hidden gems in here over the years at both locations. In the past I've gotten nice vinyl copies of hard rock bands like Captain Beyond and Lucifers Friend for NOT discogs/online prices. Last week I got a sealed Weird Al cassette for just a few dollars and this album is not available on vinyl so it makes it extra fun. They are not trying to be cool or capitalize on vinyl - they just like and sell lots of music and media. Go support - Go dig!

Then one day I called and spoke to Tom. He sold me a beautiful Wollensak deck for such a reasonable price that I am embarrassed to reveal the amount for fear of looking like I took advantage of him.

This is one of many of their locations. They have a really nice website that is easy to search. If you are selling to them, I recommend not going on the weekend and to go early. They are fairly fast at going through the items you want to sell. They don't take everything and magazines are limited to no older than 6 months unless they are collectible magazines.

So. for arguments sake let us concede that the outward seeming outrageous price of $7000, is justified? How? Just maybe the Dust Jacket! (Remember book collectors: 90 % of the value of this collectible is directly tied to the relative condition of its paper book jacket!) I mean even the fact that it's a 1st Edition doesn't add much value because scour the net and you will find a half dozen 1st Editions of this rare collectible without the dust cover for $600 or less! So because I absolutely love the Art Deco style painting of Planet Earth from outer space on this 1932 Dust Jacket and I must have it! Eventually!
