It's a ton of fun to browse all the little knick knacks and treasures, e.g. I spied a 100% pure shearling coat for only $225 (which would be thousands of dollars retail in a department shop). I didn't buy it because it was waaay too large, but that's exactly the sort of treeasure you might stumble on.They also had a few Dinney and Burke satchels as well as cowboy boots. This is a gem of a place where they have a revolving bit of wares with prices that are hard to beat.

It has that nostalgic charm that makes you want to take your time and dig around for hidden gems. The worker inside was super friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated being able to browse at my own pace. Prices were fair, and the selection included everything from well-known classics to more obscure finds you don't see too often. The store is owned by The Record Man next door, which focuses more on vinyl records, so it's a nice combo if you're into all kinds of physical media. There's a small parking lot between the two shops which makes it convenient to check out both in one stop. I ended up finding a few cool items to add to my collection and will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area treasure hunting.

All records in here are just $5, which made buying here an absolute treat. I walked out with 4 LPs for the price of a lunch. The two gentlemen at the front desk were very friendly. They went in the back to look for Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode when I asked, and brought out CDs even though they did not have the vinyls. It turns out they are attached to the neighboring Record Man store, and they suggested I look there for LPs. I would definitely come back and highly recommend!

This place has personality and a nostalgic charm to it. They are a brick and mortar store that has been in business since 1988. They sell every genre of music both online and in store. Besides music they sell electronic equipment-guitars, Cds, Tapes, 78's, 45's, DVDs, video games, comic books, collectibles. Anything you pick up and later change your mind leave on the floor or at the counter so it can be placed back accurately. There aren't prices on them so they'll tell you the price when you ask. | September 13, 2025 |

They look you over then give you a jacked up price. They told me all records are $25 or $35 dollars - I bought one, guess what $35. I wanted sell them about 100 records - their offer $18. What a freakin joke they are. The one-eyed man is especially charming. Told me I am wasting his time, "what are you going to hover over me", what a cranky curmudgeon. Buy or sell your records in San Mateo - well worth the drive.

Rare to see so many new-to-me international, jazz, prog and reggae records in one place. City pop, Afropop, Brazil, dub, ambient... killer 7 inch and cassette sections. Dozens of records for sale (that took me years to find scouring Bay Area and L.A. stores) and at some of the lowest prices. Easy to make a fine day trip of record shopping, with Redwood Records and Streetlight Records a few blocks away. Highly recommended.

This place is really hole-in-the-wall basement ish warehouse type feel bookstore. The prices are amazing for the used books. It is incredibly reasonably priced. I found two children's books in very good quality for $1 each. What a steal! For the most part, don't expect finding hot new bestsellers in here. This place is like for book antiques or if you need a used copy of something that might be a few years back. It was good for what I needed since I'm looking for some older historical fiction books about the American revolution. I was surprised to find two books here that I needed and so maybe you'll get lucky too! The couple who owns this place are very friendly. They said hi right upon me walking in. Selection is pretty wide, the books genres are organized in a neat way but the books themselves are scattered. For example, the fiction and nonfiction adult books are alphabetical order by last name but the children's books are not. It made things harder for me to look but I didn't mind since I had time. If you're in a rush then maybe this place isn't the best or just ask the lady up front for help! Overall this place is a gem and the proceeds go to a good cause--San Mateo historical foundation!
