My first experience at Barnacle records was great! The owner was super knowledgeable and welcoming…read more In conversation he was able to glean the type of new record player I just ordered and give me a valuable insight about the pros of upgrading to one with a counterweight adjustment arm to minimize the long term damage a non-adjustable arm can possibly do over time if it's pressure is too much. He educated me on a key consideration for my 1st record player without being condescending and he recommended considering the next model up in the line. I went home, took on his advice, and exchanged my order for one with the adjustment dial. Now I have the opportunity to preserve the longevity of my records. I felt the owner just wanted his customers to be happy and have a great experience at thier shop; for these reasons I'll keep going back.

Thankfully the place was clean…read moreand relatively dust free, didn't feel like you were thumbing through in a dank ass basement. Selection was concise and geared towards varied (and sub) genres of rock, punk and metal. Found some choice pieces but definitely left a few in the rack, could have easily spent double of triple what I had budgeted for. Had a feel like a local distro, good 7" selection and frankly, some amazing sales on quality vinyl. They had a smaller selection of compact-discs and some cassette tapes. Worth stopping in for sure

So much fun! This authentic western themed store serves the…read morenearby Kamloops area, which boasts the largest ranch in North America, don't ya know! If you are looking for cowboy boots to wear at the next night out at the Horseshoe or Cameron, this is the place to buy them. So many varieties and colour accents everywhere. All the cool cowgirls must shop here, and I did notice the horse handler at the nearby stables had some of these gorgeous boots. The clothes selection is large with every type of accessories from belt buckles to cowboy hats and authentic western jeans. There is a maze of a hallway that leads away from the clothes into the tack section with so many horse bits, the sight is dizzying and lots of fun to look at. This one store not to miss when visiting Kamloops!

Operating a second hand store can be arduous at best, I think the owner and staff do a great job…read moremanaging the materials, pricing and communicating with the customers. When the materials are donated there is so much time and effort spent sorting and organizing.

Barry is a very helpful and honest guy! I once had a lens filter stuck on, and was worried about…read moredamaging the lens by trying to force it off. I brought it in, and he was able to get it off even though it was cross-threaded, at no charge. I've also brought him a couple Olympus lenses to look at, one of which he immediately knew would need to be sent away (Olympus parts cannot be ordered, so if it needs parts vs. just cleaning, it needs to go back to the manufacturer). The other lens, he called me the day after I dropped it off, and also identified it needed to be sent away for repair. I needed it back for a wedding I was shooting soon, and was cutting it very close by sending it away. Due to other commitments, I knew I wasn't going to be able to pick it up until close to his closing time and the cut-off time for the courier. When I arrived, Barry had packaged it up in a box with bubble wrap and packing paper so I could just pick it up and drop it off at the courier! Talk about going above and beyond. He has yet to accept any payment for his diagnosis of my lenses, so I always try to buy something else while I'm in there. When I was looking for old film cameras to use as decor at our wedding, he gave me a bunch that were no longer usable but still nice to look at. So if you want to deal with a friendly camera repairman who will tell you it like it is, and has a great selection of equipment and other accessories, Barry at the Camera House is your guy!
