From the phone call I made to the store about selling our entire record collection, to coming in…read moreand having an employee help us load our crates of records into the store, and chatting with the owner while he really took time to go through our entire record collection - it was the BEST experience. The shop is great, and the music they had playing was a bonus. He knows a lot about all genres of music and is kind to everyone who steps through the door. He was very fair on pricing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! If you are looking to shop for records, this is THE place!

I bought a…read moreJapanese pressing on vinyl of something the first time, and that's one reason I really dig this store. For the size, this is 3/4 records, with a wide variety of genres, especially rock and jazz. The other 25% is refurbished electronics, especially turntables, amplifiers, and cassette decks. We're talking 60s through early 80s stuff, made of metal, with cool VU guages and knobs. Sansui, Nakamichi, Sony, Akai et al. You want a classic look in your listening room? You might find it here. Everything is immaculately clean and all records are graded visually and sonically. One appeal for Japanese vinyl is the brilliant production and quality of the pressings on virgin vinyl. Sonically they have a nice appeal, too. The vintage gear lends another dimension, and the owner is the tech guy, also. He showed me a box of vintage vacuum tubes, all graded by strength, and balance, which are important considerations for audio use, and in guitar amps. The old stuff was primarily built for military usage first, and commercial applications second. New Old Stock (NOS) will outlast tubes made today in Russia or China. But prices are high due to dwindling availability. Great shop, because my collection is so big, i usually just browse the newly arrived section,and what's on the walls.

Boogie Maru Sounds is one of the most underrated vinyl shops I have been to in SoCal. This spot is…read morea gem in the South Bay with a solid selection of different Japanese vinyls and pressings. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they are a smaller shop but have lots of crates to dig through.

I also got a red hand blown glass vase! There was so much more I wanted to get. On another visit for sure!

Lots of knick knacks and many can be categorized as vintage (like the vinyl records that most people born after the year 2000 might not know that these exist) Affordability is questionable but it depends on what you're looking for. It's not priced like the 99 cent store, which no longer exist, of course. Great find either way. I love browsing. Street parking available & there's a public parking structure next block over. Staff are friendly

This is more of a retro vintage store and what makes this place different is that they don't just collect donations, the owner actually hits the road sometimes and brings back really cool finds from other areas. There are a ton of really stylish, funky, colorful artsy pieces to bring flair to your life or you! There are tons of goodies to help you communicate your vibe!

Unfortunately, the checkout experience left me feeling disappointed. A couple prices being adjusted on the spot is understandable, but having tags removed and being quoted significantly higher prices felt uncomfortable and unexpected. One used purse was priced close to (or above) what I could purchase it for new at a regular retail store, and it wasn't a vintage item. It genuinely hurt to leave the items behind because I loved what I found. I just couldn't move forward with pricing that felt inconsistent. I hope the shop can work toward more transparent pricing, as it really is a lovely space with so much potential.

We found a huge selection of many games; many more than any of the other stores we checked. I'll keep Cali Games in mind for future game purchases.

I recently sold my old game collection to them, many of which I purchased from Cali Games. I knew they would take care of them and re-sell them at a fair price, and I felt like I was giving back to the SouthBay community by doing so. They are by far the most fair, friendly, and supportive group of people I've ever met in the gaming community. Though I no longer play games nowadays, I will definitely stop by the store when I'm around, just for a walk down memory lane, and to chat with the amazing staff.
