Rasputin’s always has a great selection. However it’s annoying that they police incessantly about a mask down for a couple seconds but they couldn’t spend the last year and a half wiping down the filthy used CDs. This goes for all locations.
Man I used to love this place and would frequently visit, but their service is absolutely terrible now. Ive had like 5 bad experiences, and none of them seemed to matter to the staff. I called to see if they had received a new release and employee made it seem like it was a huge inconvenience for him, complaining throughout the whole conversation. When I asked to speak to another employee he refused. I asked for a manager, and he passed me along to him saying, theres a customer who cant accept what Im telling him, I already told him youd say the same thing. Indeed I was told I would have to drive over there and check myself. Another time an employee MARKED UP the price of a CD that rang up on sale, just because the sticker had it $2 more. And there have been several times in the last year where I was sold unplayable CDs or the wrong CD that did not match the packaging. For these incidents they only gave me store credits, not a refund. Im tired of it all and will be taking my business to Streetlight... Theyre actually really nice there. Really disappointed with how bad it is here now, even the employees look like they hate it here.
I went in to sell ten pairs of pants, all in very good condition, and they only gave me $10. I asked what the criteria was for the clothing they purchase, my pants met all of them, and they told me they gave me extra for a pair of yellow corduroy Banana Republic pants, which they only gave me $1 for. They say they give you top dollar but they don’t. All of the items in the store are very nice, but for pants like they bought from me for $0.20-$1, they change you $12-$15+ for. Overall, the staff is friendly, and the merchandise is in good condition, but don’t waste your time trying to sell clothing there.
Fun place to shop for vinyl. Quite a large collection but the good deals are hard to find... literally. They have a 50c a record stash stacked in boxes below the main racks. They are not ordered in any way as far as I could see so its pretty much get down and dig to find the nuggets.
IVE BEEN GOING TO RASPUTIN SINCE I WAS A TEEN...LOVE THIS PLACE... LOYALTY 🤘💯
Take a walk down your musical memory lane at Rasputin Music... Thousands of old records to browse through... I could have stayed there for hours... Found an old Jimmy Buffett record unopened that I have never seen before... Pretty cool!
I went in to sell my Elvis collection of albums (in beautiful condition), but apparently theyre not in huge demand😲 LOL I mean... WHO DOESNT LOVE ELVIS?!The offer to buy them didnt put padding to my pockets, but a sigh of relief (I really didnt want to sell them anyways).Even though I didnt make any money and Elvis ended up coming back home with me, the guy was gracious enough to take a huge back breaking box of records off my hands that were my grandparents (thats been under foot for ever/ major pain) and is donating them to those who might enjoy them.LOL 😆 LAWRENCE WELK and his orchestra RULED (when it came to the bubbles:)
1st time at this location. I love it! Found alot ofcourse good stuff. I would of stayed longer but it was too hot and its no AC. Definitely coming back.
Great store but blue haired employee is extremely rude
Movie lovers paradise! (Also for music lovers I suppose)The collection is overwhelming, the selection is extensive. Prepare to spend a lot of hours browsing the collection and still have lot to cover.I picked up some used Blu rays and the prices started from $3.95. Sections are marked by genres and then alphabetically so it’s easy to search if you have a movie in mind.DVD prices started from $1.95 but I did.l not check them out much.There were a lot of tv show box sets and a vast selection of older movies, foreign films and Criterion collections as well.Was incredibly lucky to pick up movies I wanted to watch that originally came with digital code to find that the codes were still in the box and they redeemed successfully, so double yay!I would definitely return. Friendly staff.Note: With a free membership, you can get bonuses, like buy 5 Blu Ray movies worth $3.95 or more and get $5 immediate discount. Also note, Not all movies are cheap. Some of the newer movies are priced on par with brand new prices.Recommended the staff to add the list of movies on the website so it’s easy to hold them for pick up or something but it would be a huge undertaking considering the number of movies they have.The store is in business for around 25 years and it’s easy to see why.The store also sells books and t shirts but I didn’t find time to browse so can’t say much about that.
Always find great things here. I really miss the bookstore though but I get it :(
Amazing selection and great prices especially on DVD!You can own the movie for same or less to rent online
Good selection. Good prices.
Great selection of all kinds of media.
I went to Rasputin Music with an idea in my head, taking pictures there. The whole team was amazing, they were so candid, allow me and the model to take very good pictures in there. Place is huge and also has this little vinil music and books store inside, let me tell you, is really beautiful and well organized, like travel in time.
Super cool! Great prices, sanitizer everywhere and lots of friendly staff
Great source for records, movies and CDs they have both the old and the new.
Come here to check out retro games. They have lots of music as well.
Just started collecting 4k movies and this is the best place to find them cheap.
GREAT selection, many different kinds of DVDs CDs and Vinyl. Very kind staff and very tasteful selection. Many pieces of Art to be found here!
I am so glad they are still open. Such a huge selection of used DVDs, CDs, etc. Lots of great box sets too. All in great condition and well priced.
The manager (who I didn’t know was the manager) was very condescending and acted annoyed when I asked him about where to find something. The fact that he’s the manager (which I didn’t find out until after) is kinda shocking, not gunna lie. I am the total opposite of a Karen (I work with the public so I know what it’s like to deal with unruly people) but when someone treats you so disrespectfully despite you being polite, that just doesn’t sit right with me. The worker in front/ in charge of letting people into the shop was super friendly and nice so shout out to him!! He was very apologetic and felt bad that I had such a poor experience. I spoke with the manager and he apologized for the way he acted, which I appreciate. However, I likely won’t be going back.
Good prices on cds and a really big selection
The vibes are always so chill. Its one of my favorite places to go for cds, movies and band tees. Would absolutely reccomend.
The selection for records is hands down the best in town. They are on point when it comes to enforcing social distancing during this Rona-epidemic. Unfortunately you have a 50% chance of still running across the old school snobby “too cool for school” vibe. I asked where the records were, I got a silent finger pointed to a wall full of signs. I said “There’s a lot of signs here man, not sure where you are pointing to.” Dude said, “The biggest sign there is..” Eventually I walked that direction and found their record room. However, if you are willing to just take that as par for the course when it comes to indie stores, you will find bargains beyond belief.This is not to say the service is all bad because there were many other employees that were willing to help without the “You should know this already” vibe. I guess some people emulate “High Fidelity” movie, and others don’t.I digress.. I would like to see more T-shirts with modern bands for the kids these days to buy. Even though I love their selection personally, I am 45.. I would love to see their eyes glow looking at a 21 pilots tee or whatever the hell those kids like. Overall, fantastic selection. All of my records played great. Just BE CAREFUL.... it’s easy to spend your whole paycheck here.
Great place for all movies music books posters and more! super cool staff aswell
New vinyl selling soon as it hits the shelf. Got a few as they replenishedThe bins. Service was good and store is manhing CVoid very well.
The best music chain still available!
They have good selection
I love these guys! Been a customer of multiple locations for years. Gustov is the best when it comes to buying used 📀 dvd & cds.👍 and the young guy that’s been working the front door is a good front man. 👍😷
Nice place to shop great customer service
A great mix of music. Can find plenty of new and used items.
Seems like nothing is in stock 😒 maybe post pandemic, i dont know
Best place to find that perfect vibe. If they dont have what your looking for they will get it asap. Great crew
Good place to shop and lots of good 👍 music, staff very courteous!!
This continues to be a treasure trove of music, media, DVDs, records, and books at affordable prices. In a world flooded by digital media and music, digging and exploring physical media is an invaluable experience in and of itself - Rasputin is this opportunity. If you need a meditative escape from being stuck at home and want to look for things to discover or rediscover, I highly recommend Rasputin. Great for unique and underappreciated gifts.
Large selection but place was warm
Traded some LPs and CDsHere and they rip you off, everything I had were unplayed and mint, they pay next to nothing, I should have gone to Streetlight instead!!
One of my favorite stores, always come out with more than I expected. Best place to find hard to find movies.
It took about 3 minutes to get inside and after a quick temperature check I was in physical media heaven. They have an endless selection of every format you desire.
Huge selection. Just have to be patient finding what youre looking for. Staff was super friendly
Best place for used cds
Walking in feels like stepping back into the 90s and early 2ks .
Tons of great music and DVDs at reasonable prices!
Great selection for new, used, and classic.
I bought 15 dollars worth of movies but when I came back to return a few of them I somehow got 3 dollars back.Ill admit they do have an impressive collection but only buy something here that you want to keep forever because if they scam customers by giving a 1/3 of their money back as far as returns go, youre better off buying movies online.
Great selection of new and used music, CDs, vinyl and even cassettes. I could spend hours in there.
Best place to buy music and video games !
I was just utterly confused looking at your schedule.
Bought some cool games and a movie but the movie didnt have the movie inside
Good to see someone still selling physical copies of music. I genuinely enjoy searching through all the CDs in the Hip Hop/R&B section. They have the CDs (new and used) in the same isle here too. That saves a ton of time. I have been coming to Rasputin Music for many years now. I dont come as often since my family grew but this was one of my favorite pastimes; smoke one and then go inside and be nostalgic. If I wanted a certain album they always kept a full stock of current releases. If I was searching for OOP copies I had pretty good success rate with them as well. Very pleased with this store.
Great place to find older music and video. Can take a while to find what youre looking for, so patience is a virtue. Plan to spend some time. You really never know what you are going to find that you like, even if you did not know you wanted prior to walking in.
Didnt have everything i wanted.
They always have what I want!
Great prices on movies, tv series, video games, CDs, vinyls, band shirt and Blu Rays. There is 90% you will find what you are looking for in these stores. You can also sell your old VHS collection. The negatives about this particular store is that it smells odd. Other than that I will be coming back.
I came for the vinyl and there isnt much to choose from. Even though it says to be a music store, it is mostly DVDs and VHS.
Love this place good memories and movies from growing up and now and cds 💿 been going here for over 20 years thanks for the awesome customer service 🤪🔥💯👊🏼
Great place to experience..
I don’t really buy blu ray discs or dvds or cds that much anymore because there is Netflix and stuff like that to watch movies but when there is something that I wanna purchase in a disc copy they always have it and nice and respectful people there.
Kind of a weird little place.
After covid the price of used cds spiked about 50%. Although its a good selection, I never want to pay 13 bucks for a used Drake CD.
Love getting used CD’s and Blu-ray’s at unbelievable prices. Huge stock.Love this place!
😎
You like CDs? Heres the place! Plus some cool tshirts.
Total throwback. Its a great place to visit if youre feeling nostalgic.
Great selection at low prices. My daughter ended up with some CDs and vinyl too.
Great variety friendly staff
Best in the bay
Marshalls of best buy
Helpful people helping you but Clarke was time little snotty
I find so many good records and movies and deals here
Great finds, good deals, and friendly service, but unfortunately you have to spend ALL of your credit once there when you traded your DVDs, CDs, Blu-rays, and video games for credit.
Great selection of movies music and books. They are clean and understaffed so keep that in mind when shopping there
My go-to record store. Unbeatable variety and vast collection on almost every artist. Could use a bit more of variety for band shirts but, it is what it is. The posters are nice and with variety. Their movie collection is also fantastic. Their vinyl section makes me wish I had a vinyl player. Register service could be better, but all of the above more than compensate.
I love this store sorry to see the one in Newark mall dissapear. They are a dying breed of used music and video store. Looking for a DVD, CD they got it sometimes you have to look deep but thats why I go and when youre done they give e credit for selling back to them. If you remember old record stores I think you will find Rasputin rite up your alley
Great place for cds and DVDs. I like how they take ur temperature and wipe down the counter and card reader after every customer. Thank you for helping keep the bay area safe
WOW!! For those that know what they like and are up for looking for that and a few other nicities as a lot of people Do Not Prefer to have:buy:own tangible entertainment media.
So happy this place still exist
This place is awesome. Cds, vynils, dvds, books, t-shirta, collectibles...they got anything you might be looking for. I found so many cool movie classics and top cds. One could spends days here browsing for rareties and always find something cool. I bought an original Roxettes first album and a Bruce Sprinsteen DVD Show. Crew here is kind and helpful and prices are fair. If you are a music, movie fan or book worm you cant miss a visit to Rasputin.
They take the anti-covid measures very seriously, and take your temperature, use hand sanitizer, and require a mask, upon entry. I brought in some CDs to sell the store as used, and they took several of them. The store is very large, with a large selection.
Pays surprisingly well for CDs in genres that arent that popular, such as KPOP
Has almost everything, dvd, cd, records, great prices
Cool store mostly cd’s and dvd’s
They were very kind at Rasputin Music store...
The only great movie and music store left in the area. Its excellent too and they have titles that arent available by streaming services.
Awesome place to get music! Such a diverse selection! 1000% would come back! Great prices too! I got most of mine brand new!
Great nostalgia if you are into physical media
This place is awesome! They have everything when it comes to movies or music. New and used items makes it easy to save money. Just be sure to check their hours of operation before you go.
My go-to place for music, movies and books relating to so many things musical. Love the prices and selections.I always spend too much time, so plan for twice as much time as you think. There is so much to look through.Thank you Rasputin for many years of audio and video glee! ::hugs::
Love it! they have all the movies and at super affordable prices!
Rick&Winston are quick to help with all types of music and DVDs Campbell store excellent place to spend an hour of searching for new and used music. LP
Very knowledgeable about music and movies. The buyer of vinyls there went above and beyond to explain was required to sale an album to them and was just all around a pleasant woman to work with. Everyone was actually cool and happily engaged in conversation
I love their huge selection of movies, blu-rays, music, documentaries and foreign films. The book section is pretty good too.
How can you be closed during the week?
Nice selection.
