I found this extremely helpful, and he had quite a few of the things on my list in great shape. He even set the expectation up front that I could be picky. Turned out to be well worth my time! I wandered for a bit among the racks and found a few other titles I wasn't specifically looking for but couldn't pass up, all in the $6-15 range. The owner said he tried to avoid selling stuff in a condition he wouldn't want to play himself, and that seemed to hold for the sample set I pulled. I've known about this store for a long time, but I've only recently gotten into collecting vinyl. I really appreciate being able to check out condition before buying, so a brick and mortar store has a lot of value to me. Evaluate prices in that light. I've had quite a few so-so experiences with buying stuff sight unseen online. All in all, a good experience. I'll definitely be back!

Displays make way more sense now , they aren't just grimy clutter jammed together like before. The girls working there were also super friendly, welcoming, helpful, clean, didn't smell like BO and stale ash tray like prior employees, and they were knowledgeable about everything. Years ago it was a bunch of greasy smelly guys that were more interested in cringe bro gossip, hanging out, and texting than selling anything. The girl that worked there before had the personality and enthusiasm of a wet paper bag. What a huge difference! I just spent $180 on records and will go back in a week or 2 to buy more.

This is definitely A MUST visit when you come to Erie. It's…read morea community's bookstore that has recently added a coffee shop inside. They offer a wide selections of books, both well-loved (2nd-hand) and new, from Mystery, Romance, History, to Children's books. It is such a relaxing and peaceful experience to browse around the store, looking for a treasure to be found (You can also join their book club). If you are looking for a gift or souvenir, there are also small gifts such as stationary items or treats from local places like Lake Erie Candy Co. All the way in the back is a coffee shop that sources coffee from North Edge Craft Coffee (Erie's own roasting company), and a bakery, offering foods such as bagels and cupcakes. So far, I have only tried Chai tea latte and Dirty chai, but will definitely try other items in the future. My favourite part here, other than delicious drinks and books, are that they offer to buy back the book that you recently purchased, and will give you store credit to be used for your next purchase, or you can also bring in any books you currently own, and sell it to them for store credit. Grab a drinks, your favourite book and get lost in another world!

Actiontoyman is a special kind of place. I spent two months working one day a week in Erie and was…read morelucky enough to discover this store during that time. This store is absolutely stacked with vintage collectibles ranging from Gundam Wing, Star Wars, Transformers, Toy Story, WWE, Dragonball Z, Sports Collectibles, Batman, Superman, and everything in between. The ground level is full of classic toys and even features a full blown comic room in the back while downstairs is the "discount" section offering a ton of toys below $8. Upstairs had a full game room along with a ton of other collectible toys as well. Not only was it a blast coming to ActionToyMan but the staff was super friendly and willing to answer any questions that I had throughout my visit. Although my trips to Erie might be done, I will 100% be returning in the future to check this store out again. If you live even remotely close to Erie you owe it to yourself to come and check this place out, but hey, don't take my work for it, check out Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkin's visiting this store on YouTube.

My husband had 8 collectables at Action Toyman that hadn't sold in a long time. He decided to go…read morepick them up because they hadn't sold thus far and probably weren't in this pandemic economy. He called 3 weeks in a row to ask the owner to gather his unsold things. The first week the owner "wasn't there", the second week "he was out sick", and the third week my husband said he was coming to get his collectibles. Today he went to the store, the owner accused him of harassment, said my husband called his store "$hitty"(he did not), and then told him that he had already sold and paid my husband for his missing collectibles (he couldn't produce any proof that he had paid my husband for anything) Do not take your collectables here to sell. The guy is a liar. And I read through the other reviews and alot of people think he's rude too.
