    My finds at Charleys

    Charley's is great. Well curated, diverse selection. Great ambiance. For a post-punk fan like myself, there were some true gems, off the beaten path classics that you don't see every day

The service is always…read moresatisfactory, the ladies I often see behind the counter have a great since of humor and remind me every time that I can bargain with them if something is out of my budget. Unfortunately, though, most things are out of my budget. This is not surprising given the curation and high average quality of item per stall, but it leaves me miffed when something is marked up so high past my understanding of its worth. Still, one day I will be coming back for that taxidermy antelope that has been staring my down for years now.

    Be careful of the descriptions used on their pieces of furniture. We bought a "teak bookcase"; on…read moredelivery, the bookcase is teak veneer over MDF and the cardboard backing does not match the woodgrain of the teak. We should've used our phone flashlight and gone over the item much more closely. The owner said that if it was teak, it would have been labeled "solid teak." I think it should have been described as "teak veneer." I wonder if the credit card charge can be disputed, as that is my only recourse. It the owner feels that the average used furniture shopper knows the nuances of his labeling, in my opinion he is wrong. I am leaving this review for those shoppers that are not savvy to this and will ask further questions before purchasing. We won't return to either of the stores.

    This is my spot when ever I go back to ABQ! They gots the vinyl and they're inexpensive! I bought…read morelike 4 records to expand my collection! They even have a frequent buyer card! 10 stamps gets you a $10 credit! Records come with a semi-guarantee to play. I really can't take advantage of that since I'm from out of town. They're just moving in, so I couldn't see exactly what all they sell. So for my next trip, I'll make a stop. The location has changed, they're on Central now.

    How To Buy Records At "We Buy Music"…read more ~ Overview The venue has a large selection of LPs, mostly in uncategorized boxes marked "New Arrivals". The owner is nice enough, but I don't chat. Other reviewers say he knows things, or use other descriptions. My preference is rare jazz instrumentals or rare Americana on a defunct record label that is not on the internet. I need to research thoroughly before I buy. After several visits I finally bought some rare albums. I was very curious about pricing. ~How To Deal With No Price Tags "New Arrivals" are not tagged. It's a tough way to shop. To the store's credit, prices fluctuate and these LPs might stay on the shelves for several years, and it's a one-man operation. Connect to Discogs.com, find your record, and look at the "Median" price, or seller "total" price that includes shipping. Now you're armed with pricing knowledge. ~ Procurement Procedure You Should Know Take the LPs to the desk, then browse some more because it takes several minutes per album to price it. The owner checks the disc, adds sleeves if missing, then goes online (perhaps Discogs or some other database) for pricing info, then places a red price tag on the cover. His rates hover around the median on Discogs, but We Buy Music is not cheap per se. However, you already did your research and you know what is a good price or not. Some LPs are already tagged and returned to the bins unsold. Some of these returns are overpriced. ~ Make The Acquisition You'll get a store stamp card that accrues $10 credit for every $100 spent. You'll spend a lot on rarities. You might not get a receipt. ~ Open Seven Days Morning To Dusk The store is open often with hardly any customers. It's an apparent warehouse as storefront. With the owner's knowledge and large collection, he probably sells online through several portals although the business card has no web address. ~ We Buy Music Has The Largest Selection, But No Prices Or Sales The vendor is tops for selection, but no true bargains. Sometimes Nob Hill Music, Mecca, and Antiques and Things have sales, and albums are tagged. If you're lucky, you might find a rare LP at a flea market or thrift store, but don't count on it. ~ I'm Not A Vinyl Collector Or Audiophile My priority is the music, not the medium. I buy rare LPs, digitize them to wav on good gear, then resell them. If it's on Spotify/Tunepat, I'll download it there and add it to my collection. I'm not an audiophile, I don't sit in front of fabulous speakers and listen to every nuance. MP3 is fine: at home, on the bus, low riding, etc.

    The staff at Barnes & Noble Booksellers was very helpful on November 26, 2025 when I inquired about…read morethe location of a new book. The first young person who helped me directed me upstairs. Perfect. I found one lone copy, but where are the other 39 that she mentioned? I needed 3 copies, 2 as gifts for Christmas and an upcoming birthday. I looked high and low. Nothing. So I approached the older man upstairs. He finally exclaimed, "Ohhhh, the rest of these are being retained for a class, so what I can do is order for pickup for you." I appreciated the kind service, but I had to head back home to the southeastern part of the state soon. It's two stories and quite spacious even with many others shopping. The cafe towards the back was super loud. This is a nice location in what is referred to as Uptown Albuquerque, NM, at the Coronado Center Mall.

There was only one…read moregentleman at the cash register, one gentleman running the customer service area and one lady running the coffee shop. There were lines of people waiting to be checked out it's 2026 people. Also they were putting up some kind of light or chandelier and the machine that they were going up and down on was grading to the ears and it was happening the whole time I was in the store so I just grabbed a few things and left because it was so piercing and hurting my ears imaginary anybody else in the store. You couldn't put that up before opening or would you open when no one was in there or closed you had to wait till the middle of a Friday afternoon? Do you need more help? I applied 1 million times but apparently I guess you don't need any more people.
