    Vintology gets better the more I visit. I'm paring down to sell my house and have been purging my…read morebookshelves and closets. They had a sign out that they buy, and I am selling! It has been a great experience so far with items I have really struggled to sell at yard sales and would otherwise go to donation. I originally went in with books because I thought they were just doing books and vinyl, but as I strolled the store waiting for them to look over my stuff I discovered a HUGE collection of CDs, DVDs, games, puzzles, kids books, and vintage toys as well. Of my original big box o'books, they bought about 75% for $25. I brought another short stack and they bought 3 of 8 for another $3. I came back with puzzles and games and a few DVDs and they bought the whole box for $16. They pay in cash, or you can get more in store credit (for the $25 box of books I could have had $30). I'm headed back with some TV show box sets and more books and will keep showing up as I find more stuff they might want to buy. GREAT strategy for them and a really great gift to the community as well - none of the other Longmont shops will pay cash for goods, you can only get store credit if anything at all. I've spent some time browsing the shelves and am not sure how they price books. I haven't been looking to buy but am interested in a couple and wish there was some sort of sticker or tag so I didn't have to ask about each one. I'll revise this review once I go in to purchase and learn what that side looks like; for now, it's a really great resource and I am very grateful they are here!

    love the idea but the AI generated signs in the windows are a big turn off. Looks sloppy and lazyread more

    This is more of a local tip how to approach this subterrane, book-nook to best take advantage of…read moreits unique attributes/offerings vs. a review of a visit experience. First, the long-time proprietor (Tom) is an absolute/hard-earned expert in everything in the store - its items, authors, history, even curious, connected idiosyncronies of stories galore, many personal connections. That includes books, old magazines, records/CD and their place in history. Sure, much might be opinion, but all quite well-informed. The recommendation here is not to wander aimlessly to quick overwhelming but isolate a certain subject matter or media type of interest and ask for recommendations to find your gem(s) and feel good about the hunt as you leave with them. Second, this is a very small, private-ownership establishment and not a large, corp chain like B&N, It is run a certain way (it appears disorganized but is really not), has some respecting rules (don't bring in drinks or be a clueless dufus and take a photo of a book you like and shop it cheaper elsewhere) and relies on genuine, curious, vintage-loving customers to support this old-fashioned but charming type of store. It is really for serious vintage-hunters, not so much (or room for) random museum lookers. Sooo, not the place to buy the latest releases for less. Just saying so you know the (sub-)terrain here. Last, even if you become even a one-time customer, the purchase and interaction will be sincerely and deeply appreciated by one of the most-engaging store owners you will ever meet and exchange stories with for way longer than you would think Tom can keep the stories and wisdom quippets coming.

    Pricey, small, but quaint and cute! We seriously browsed for 2 minutes and did get a bit…read moreoverwhelmed. Not the shops fault at all, it was on me lol. I wish I had more time to browse!
