Walking into CD Trader felt like stepping into a time capsule--in the best way possible. I'm from…read morethat generation where CDs and records weren't just things, they were experiences. And this place? It gets it. There's something about flipping through dusty records that just hits different. It's like walking into a thrift store and catching that mid-century smell--you either understand it or you don't. I do. I live in band tees 90% of the time, and this spot is basically my natural habitat. I've built up little collections over the years--certain genres, classics I refuse to let go of--and being here made me actually consider bringing some pieces back in. But also... you never know when the internet might betray you, and suddenly that random DVD becomes essential again. The vibe here is unmatched, super nostalgic without trying too hard. And the service? Genuinely great. Friendly, helpful, and not pushy at all. Also--fell completely in love with a Madonna T-shirt that I absolutely need in my life. Definitely coming back. Easy five stars.

I have heard of this place for a long time but never set foot in it until yesterday…read more I had a our 75 DVDs and 65 CDs I wanted to get rid of so I remembered about CD trader. The experience was fine and the sale of them went super smooth,. They were very fast checking them and having my money ready but the 2 guys behind the counter that were helping me were pretty rude and unwelcoming. Just the way they talked to me and seems very unfriendly. I've never brought items in to sell and don't know how fast they would go they them since it was a Saturday and I figured they would be busier then a weekday, I took a bunch of games to sell to GameDude a week previous and they took like 4 hours to go thru them. I literally had to drop them off and come back hours later. I didn't know if that was the norm or what. So i walked in with just my crate of CDs, because I figured I could always come back another day with the DVDs but i got called fast. Since it went quickly I figured I'd bring my DVDs in, and then I told one guy that I had a crate of DVDs to bring in also and he snapped an was like "Why didn't you bring them all in at one time?" I'm sorry I actually thought I was doing them a favor because maybe it was busy or they were short staffed. How the hell am I supposed to know? So then I brought the crate of DVDs in. I also lost my voice a few days prior and was just getting on back so my voice is pretty low at the moment l, so when I spoke to them, they were like "What? I can't hear you". Almost like I was annoying them with my low voice. I don't know if they were the owners or what, they were older guys and not some younger employee so I assume maybe owners or managers. So my point is the stores pretty cool and they have some great stuff, but the two guys in front were kinda dicks. Doubt I'll be back.

You can never have too many books!!…read more They had plenty of genres to choose from and I found me a rom-com book I ended up grabbing to take home. Prices are really good in this location, even on the newer books they had too. They also had an area to shop of employees favorites, blind date with a book and even little gift sets for that book lover in your life. Also the girls here are all really friendly and helpful. Glad I could come in today and grab a book to support a local business! **if you spend $10 or more get a stamp card for their reward perks. *located across from H&M in the mall.

I have not attended any of the events yet, but it's nice to see a space for community and connection and I look forward to going to one soon!

Comparable to the vintage/flea markets at Pasadena City College and Santa Monica Airport. Bring cash, as not all vendors take Venmo, Zelle or card. Bring a hat, too, given the 85-105 degree weather in LA this year. Plenty of free parking on campus by the market. So much easier to navigate than the Rose Bowl flea! If you like Knick knacks, random artifacts, vintage clothes, collectibles, homemade crafts and/or sports memorabilia, this will be paradise for you. Personally, I'm solely interested in candles and For Senses Candles are my go-to. I love to explore and see what's out there, though!

Also, it gets super hot in the summer so be sure to bring water and maybe an umbrella because shade is scarce.

This bookstore is absolutely adorable! It has a great selection of books across a wide variety of…read moregenres and series. They also have a small section with DVDs and CDs, which was such a fun dose of late-'90s and early-2000s nostalgia. I loved it. One of my favorite features was their "Surprise Reads" section. The books are wrapped so you can't see the cover, and each one has a short description of the story or theme instead. It encourages you to choose a book based on the synopsis rather than the cover, which I think is such a fun idea. I've discovered some fantastic books through "Surprise Reads," so I was excited to see they had a section dedicated to them. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They helped me look for a series (The Telesa or Covenant series) that I am trying to get. Unfortunately they didn't have the series but hopefully in the future. The location is great as it is at a mall close to coffee shops to grab you a book and head on for coffee or tea to read and enjoy.

The store is located in the heart of The Village in Topanga and there's ample parking. If you want to read your haul immediately, you'll find a lot of seats just outside the store. The store is also pet-friendly except on days they have pet guests, and they usually post a sign outside.

I recently visited this place as it is a local thrift store and left the location feeling…read moredisappointed and mistreated. I found a beautiful 14k gold cross necklace with real diamonds that was displayed for $300, along with a 20% off sign in booth 10. I asked the owner what the price would be with the discount. Instead of honoring the displayed price, she weighed the necklace, realized it was 14k gold with diamonds, and told me she would only sell it to me for $700. She also said she could instead buy it for what it was listed and sell it for even more. (Great.. didn't need to know that.) As a customer, it was frustrating to be quoted one price on display and then be told a much higher price after asking to purchase the item. It felt misleading and left me with a very negative experience. Because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this store. I believe customers should be able to rely on the prices displayed and be treated with honesty and respect toward hardworking people who love to support small businesses.
