I can't say enough good things about Originals Vinyl. Matthew went so far above and beyond to…read moredeliver one of the best customer service experiences I've had anywhere, not just at a record store. I came in to have several records professionally cleaned, and Matthew was incredibly communicative, friendly, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. He gave me a ton of helpful information and education on how to set up my sound system for the best possible quality, and he even personally tested all of the records I brought in after cleaning them. That level of care is rare. He also kept the store open just for me since I was coming from out of town, which says everything about how much he cares about his customers and the vinyl community. The shop itself is clean, well-organized, in a cool location, and has a great inventory with plenty of unique and hard-to-find records. They also offer professional vinyl cleaning, which I've had a surprisingly hard time finding anywhere else in the Bay Area. There is no better person or shop to support if you're a vinyl collector and care about stellar customer service. I can't wait to go back, and I'll absolutely go out of my way to support this amazing shop and Matthew.

If only you could learn about Originals Vinyl as I did you, you'd understand the 5-star rating…read more The best way to experience Originals Vinyl is to happen upon it by chance, when you're out walking the neighborhoods. Wander inside, enchanted by the sounds emanating from the spinning discs. Rifle through the modest bins of records, each labeled, organized, perhaps even curated. Stop to inquire about the big machines you see behind the counter. Learn that this is where you can bring your LPs for whatever the world has decided is the best way to clean them. Wish that you could just hang out on a sofa here, drinking in the sounds. But this is not a place to linger unless you're looking though the bins. It's intimate and the vibe is whatever the owner or staff is spinning at that moment. On this visit, it was a pure delight.

I felt hover and watched. I can't relax in the store and dig the records when I know that there must be some good soul music there, but the comments that he gave which is really inappropriate we need to lay off his customers and then dig that's part of the joy of collecting is digging without him analyzing what I'm looking for and what I want, and what my style should be I felt kind of jugged when he said when a certain genre was up my alley when he really specifically doesn't know what my genre is and what I'm looking for as a collector, I know what I wanna put in my collection without someone hovering over me last time I'll ever go there I felt like that the last time this time was even worse

They have it ALL except for CGC graded stuff which is fine by me. Indy books, superhero classics, staff picks, new comics, value bundles, and more. The two things that separate this shop are 1. The graphic novel book club which does a talk and a signing. You can get signed books for cover price which is amazing. You can also join the club from anywhere in the country and would highly recommend. 2. They write up blurbs on upcoming solicits. I love when Brian really let's his commentary go. I have tried stuff I would have never read if it wasn't for his words swaying me. Brian knows what he's talking about and has great taste. He's also super friendly which makes supporting this shop even better.

There were some very pricey items and some that didn't break the bank haha. Also I asked the staff there if what they recommend for dinner and they shared a new Indian spot that was fire!!

We knew the situation called for an immediate estate sale. A call to the YES Co proved to be a blessing. The owner of the company, Kevin Black, responded to our needs without hesitation when most would have declined the job. Every room was filled to capacity with all sorts of personal property including artwork, jewelry, electronics, kitchen accessories and a hospital bed that took up most of the space in the bedroom. To us it all seemed too daunting a task, but not to Kevin! Within two days Kevin and his crew organized everything for viewing, with like items paired together, and created pathways for people to walk around. It was amazing what they were able to do in such a short period of time considering the hundreds of items for sale. Kevin's attention to detail remarkably included very clear signage throughout the premises. The sale was a true success in every way possible! The YES Co is a well-oiled machine thanks to Keven and his crew. We highly recommend Kevin Black's company for handling an estate sale of any size. They are the best!! Thank you so much.

Kevin Black, the company owner, runs a well oiled operation, and enlists experienced staffers to move, organize, assemble by lots and type in order to create a 'store-like' environment within a home. Disposition and sale of items within our nearly 8,000 square foot home presented a challenge that was managed with efficiency by the YES company. Mr. Black and company spent a full week ahead the sale to break down, re-organize and place thousands of small to medium sized items from our various collections onto sale tables; provided safety and directional signage through-out the home for the sale dates; helped to coordinate a nearby parking lot for anticipated crowds; listed the larger furniture items on-line prior to the sale, recognizing nearly 35,000 marketing 'hits', and staffed the five consecutive sale dates with his experienced team. The YES company communicated regularly during the pre-sale process and during the sale week. The check-out process for buyers was seamless, efficient and safe, with all items leaving through a single, large exit from the home. The YES company also provided the boxes, packaging and bags for use by buyers in facilitating the post-sale departure. Our check reflecting the residual proceeds from the sale was processed expeditiously. The YES company ownership and staff clearly demonstrate the experience and confidence in accomplishing the sale goals, and we recommend them for your estate sale requirements.
