On my last visit, I scored 2 OOP Prince CD's I had been wanting to purchase but did not want to pay the obscene bidding prices on Ebay. I also found another CD that I didn't even know I wanted, but at their prices I had to own it. This place is a TREASURE TROVE for the old school album hunters and newer CD searchers. I can wait to return to look some more. Rock on JL Records! My your turn tables play forever!!

I have been buying stuff from Jim since he was selling used vinyl at flea markets. Then he had a…read moreshop on State Street for years before moving to this location. If you can't find what you're looking for here, then it doesn't exist. If it does, they can order it for you. There is really TOO many CDs here, with CDs piled on top of the racks, and in boxes underneath. It makes it kind of  hard for quick browsing, but if you like to dig dig dig this is the place. Although the selection is daunting, chances are they have what you're looking for. There is also a very nice selection of collectible CDs, boxes, promos, and stuff that you are just not going to find anyplace else. The used CDs are top quality; they don't buy junk like other used CD stores. There is a money back guarantee but I doubt you'll ever need to return anything. The only negative comment I have is that the prices of used CDs may be a little high for some titles. The big boxes are dumping back catalog new CDs for as little at $4.99, but you'll find a used copy here for $9.99. If you think a particular used title is priced too high, just ask. Often the price reflects availability. If it's out of print, the price goes up. If it's been reissued recently, mention that to the staff and the price might go down. They also stock many "import" CDs at ridiculously high prices. With high quality torrent downloads so prevalent, there is no reason to buy these "import" CDs. Selling your used CDs depends on what your selling. They buy used CDs based on quality and availability, and if they think they can sell it. If the title your selling is out of print or rare, you will get more. If the store has 25 Justin Bieber CDs in the rack, they may not even want it. They know what sells and they know their customers, so be prepared to take back home the Britney Spears CDs you listened to in elementary school. The vinyl loft has been greatly expanded, and here is where I think the real bargains lie. The price of used, near mint, and new vinyl is very reasonable. Even hard to find stuff is priced right. No price gouging here. Finally, they also buy and sell used DVDs and video games. I don't normally browse those areas so I can only say that it's available.

It feels like they all disappeared overnight. CD-Land is a relic of the 1990s, and is likely doomed to go out of business just like your local newspaper, Blockbuster, and Gamestop.

When my son tried to use the phone, it was locked and could only be unlocked by a totally unknown owner so the phone was worthless. When my son tried to return the phone, the owner refused to take the phone back or to return my son's $100. We tried to work with the owner to explain the problem, but that only resulted in us being asked to leave the store. We refuse to be intimidated by this scam and filed a claim in Small Claims Court against this shop and the con-woman owner. I would suggest that you never do any business with this woman unless you are fond of potentially stolen merchandise that may or may not work, and you wish to never see your money again. It's similar to the old roach hotel ad, once your money enter her store and ends up in her hands, it will never come out again! BEWARE, YOU'VE BEEN FOR-WARNED!.

Let me set the scene: You walk into Deal Zone, expecting something akin to Gamestop. You're excited…read morebecause you've found gems at a store similar and you're always up for something new. You gently place your hand on the bar and open the door. At first, it doesn't seem so bad until your eyes adjust. You're met with this messy, unorganized heap of games and movies as far as the eye can see. It's dingy and dark, almost as if it's evening time. All of the aisles are small and there's things scattered below the shelves on the floor, probably things she's bought and couldn't find room for. You take a deep breathe and you smell dust, and recoil a little bit. You don't want to look like a weirdo, so you venture farther into this dungeon-like facility and you start looking, everything feels like it has years of grime and dirt on it. Everything you like is overpriced and you can feel the eyes of the woman behind the counter boring into your very soul. But soon you found something neat! A guide to the game series you love dearly and have been collecting for years! Yes! But the cover is torn off, and a little voice in the back of your head tells you that GameStop rips the covers off of these when they throw them away - so you know she has to be dumpster diving for some of this stuff. Gross, but you feel the excitement bubble up into your chest. You turn the item around to see the price, and it has none. You aren't deterred though, as you grab it and head to the counter. You greet the owner, who gives off this weird vibe, but you smile and say, "Hi! How much is this?" She hesitates, but takes it anyway. She's silent for a few moments, running her fingers across the back and turning it to look at every square inch of it. The silence is poignant, you wonder if she's okay. Until she looks up and says, "How about ten dollars?" You can feel your face fall as you realise, it isn't worth ten dollars. You offer her five, because it's obviously very old as the game had came out ten years earlier, and the cover isn't even on it. "No, ten." She says. You feel defeated as you ask for it back, so you can put it back where you found it. You aren't a monster, after all. The walk back is disappointing as you gross really old bloatware for the wii she's priced triple than what their worth, and foreign workout and children's movies. You place it back where it belongs. You leave feeling defeated, nearly decimating your pinky toe on the several hundred things scattered across the floor and wondering how on God's green earth she stays open.

They have loads of dvds/blurays, cds, some books/manga, old and new games and systems, and some awesome collectibles. The employees definitely were the cherry on top. He was telling us about the setup of the store, deals the have and about their trade in policies (which are the states policy and super intense to stop stolen items from being sold. They even do fingerprints). My husband is officially obsessed with this store and if he could live here he would. We had to go back to the hotel to grab a game to trade in and on the way back he said "I love this place. I know we aren't there but I'm going to talk like we are because my soul is there". I have no doubts we will be back. We ended up getting a few different things and we were pleased with everything.

Main Street Books is a nice place to browse in a peaceful space. There's nothing like a quiet bookstore. That's the way they should be. The prices are about what you'd expect for an independent bookstore (which means they're the same as a chain bookstore), but they also have a section with books that are discounted, so you can definitely find a bargain.
