Same thoughts as posted for Half Price Books - not bad if you're buying, but find a "Plan b" if you're selling.

Had to wait almost 10 minutes for our credit for our dvds. Also customer not so great. Seems to me store appeased a certain look or background. Also had to get back in line after waiting 20 minutes to wait again, when they could of just took care of me once papers were signed for credit. Please do better.

Always loved Rasputins. Been missing it since the San Lorenzo one closed. This one is ok. A bit confined and disorganized (for me). But still a great store with CD's, tapes, records, vhs, shirt's and more.

If you are a person who streams everything, who long ago unloaded your cd and dvd collections, this review might not make any sense. Rasputin is a media chain specializing in those old cds and dvds. They sell new ones, too, along with vinyl, clothing, and all manner of music-related merch, but they have always been a small chain store, with less than 10 stores in the bay area over the years. The rampant popularity of streaming, coupled with the pricing tactics of larger chain stores and the internet have made independent record stores like this one an endangered species. Thus, in order to survive, the smaller store needs to act aggressively, and the most important tool in that fight is customer service. No one wants to shop where they feel unwelcome. My recent experience at this location felt more like a Gitmo indoctrination circa 2003. I was not welcomed, nor thanked, nor even approached by a staff member (except for the soulless formality of a temperature check), all of whom had the defensive expressions of caged animals. I do not know what happened, but this location used to be a bit friendlier. My impulse is to blame management but i am not in possession of all the facts. Whatever the case, this store is not currently justifying its retail dollar and i cannot recommend shopping there unless, like myself, you needed a physical thing (Zeppelin BBC, 2-CD set for an impending road trip). I want to like this place but they need to hone their personality so it isn't just a commercial nightstick. There is an annual event in the US called Record Store Day. Its supposed to be a fun celebration...i am hopeful that this place tries to rememver that.

Yes. Bring them in we take them. All
Yes, they even have aisle end caps with current releases to make them easier to find.
No Sure
Yes they do....you may not get much. But they have a gang of tapes in all of the stores. Good luck
Open and buying. I was there a couple weeks ago selling.
At their Berkeley Store they have a separate Book Store across the street
They do have some in store or did if they are not selling they may not take them any more
Half price books is currently closed as far as a i know but will be opening soon in the new veranda shopping center.
Well, yes and no. If vinyl has a lot of scratches, they won't buy. Likewise, if cds/dvds have deep scratches or the surface is bad, my experience is they will not buy them as they are not resaleable. That is why when you take stuff in to sell, the buyer at Rasputin's looks at every item. They do not to my knowledge buy without fitst examining them.
No CD's DVD's and Vinyl Records.
You'll have to contact the store directly...questions here go to the people who reviewed Rasputin's...not the store 😉
Yeah... you can get cash (lower amount) or slightly higher for store credit/trade
Yes you can order cd's, dvd's, vinyl im not sure,if its still in print you most likely could.
