I love records (vinyl). I love record stores. So in a departure from my usual food reviews, I will instead review one such store today.\n\nZia Record exchange is certainly my favorite record store. Maybe one of my favorite stores of any kind, to be more accurate. They have more than just records. They have CDs, cassettes, DVDs, memorabilia, glasses, shot glasses, posters, etc. The selection for all of it is incredible. If I go to Best Buy and can't find a CD from a lesser known band, I can almost certainly find at least one offereing of the band at Zia. They carry such a wide variety. This is true for both records and CD's. \n\nThe price can be great here. Used records are only a couple of dollars. They have classics like the Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffett, or Steppin Wolf. You can find used CDs and DVDs for a few bucks as well. If you by new, prices are little above average. They make up for it with the price of used. And if buying used worries you, fear not. They will open up your choice to show you it is in good condition. I have purched numerous used CDs and had no issues in playing them. I just recently purchased the sountrack to School of Rock. It plays with no skips and was only $2.99. You cant beat that.\n\nNot only can you buy here. You can also sell and trade your old CDs, DVDs and records. This is where they lose a star from me. I tried to sell a couple of DVDs once. One was a special edition and never opened. They offered me all of $0.10. A dime for a brand new movie? It seemed like a bad deal so I kept it. I'll stick with buying from them but you can give trading a try if you'd like.\n\nIf you shop here and you think you will return, get a Zia Card. You get points for your purchases. After a while and when you have enough points, you can use them to buy a product with the same value at only half price. It is worth it if you shop at Zia's enough
