Each was $5, so I thought that was a score. They also have a box of free vinyls outside you can rummage through.

I don't know what I did to this man to cause him to be so rude to me, but I left. Highly recommend passing this store up. He was blasting late career Billy Joel the entire time , so this was probably a red flag from the beginning. What an awful experience....

It's a tiny little place that's packed with a diverse selection--from '80s new wave to jazz, from metal to country classics, from Bowie to Branigan and back again, and pretty much everything in between. I was particularly tickled to find a bunch of Polish pop and garage rock from the '60s and '70s there in the bins, a lot of neat stuff I'd never seen before. The selection is great, the prices fair, and the guys working the shop are friendly and fun to chat with about music. If you're in Victoria and you're into vinyl, it's definitely worth venturing a few blocks north of the downtown core to check this little place out.

Vinyl selection is organized, and most of them are graded and priced accordingly. Just a note that I only picked up NM (Near Mint) records for older records, but grading seems a little too generous here as one of the records had many visible scratches when you hold it under the light and you can hear them when playing (for comparison, I don't see NM grading as common in other record shops). I picked up a handful of records here. The staff is knowledgable and friendly, and atmosphere is nice with light pop songs playing in the background.

They purchase and sell lego sets, including older sets that are very hard to source. The oldest I've seen was from 1980, to give you an idea. Most are contemporary or from the 2010s, of course. The prices are very fair. An out of print set might go for a few bucks more than its original retail price if it isn't super rare. The owner isn't trying to gouge you and she's very open about her pricing policy. The owner is a font of knowledge about all things lego. She's extremely dedicated: she verifies every used set for integrity (and replaces missing bricks), she guarantees completeness for any set you buy, she'll source lego sets for you, she'll hold sets for you at the cash, and answer every which question you have. She's also very personable. The store attracts teens, families and adult collectors.

There's a small selection of truly antiquarian books (prior to 1700) in Latin and Greek, as well. I need to go back to do quite a bit more digging around. The owner of the store is very pleasant to converse with. It's true that she prefers cash over credit cards, but as a small business I can't blame her at all. Credit card processing takes a big chunk of every transaction for the merchant.

Turns out there's a lot to see in this store! As you come in, the main front room has some housewares, men's and women's clothing and accessories. Another room toward the back has books, movies, and music, and a smaller room has furniture and more books and movies. The clothing selection isn't huge and was kind of old-but-not-vintage, if you know what I mean. I wasn't blown away by anything we saw and couldn't find anything to buy. However, the lady working the counter guessed my boyfriend's size correctly and went to the back to see if they had any blazers or jackets in his size, so that was nice of her. Prices seemed kind of high for what they had, often several dollars more than a similar item would be priced at Goodwill. The best part of this store was the books/music/media. They had a surprisingly large selection of new literary fiction and book-club-type books at reasonable prices -- definitely worth checking out. There are also some fun random things, like the train-rides-of-the-world VHS set or the bins of vintage cookbooks. The way the furniture area is set up, it feels like a cozy reading nook, and they probably wouldn't mind if you sat down to flip through a book or two! After we left, I was hovering outside and checking out the donut stand, and the owner came out and coaxed us into coming over and trying an apple fritter. I mean, who can resist a homemade donut with homemade icing? The donut was dense, cakey, with tasty apple chunks and very sweet icing. A decent thrift store, worth stopping if you're thrifting in the area. And the little donut stand outside is good for a coffee and a sweet treat if you need a pick-me-up!
