My go-to spot for Vinyl, Movies, and most recently: Band T-shirts. Nothing beats Amoeba.
My suggestion would be to just go in and experience Amoeba for yourself, I highly doubt that with the extraordinary selection they have for just about every type of movie, music, or randomness you can think of, that you will leave without something in your hands.
My favorite spots are the gigantic (as everything is in this store) 7 inch section (located in the back of the info counter) and the AS-IS DVD section (cheap movies that are guaranteed to play, with minor minor defects), where I always always find something...
Prices are usually always good for USED merchandise, for which they have a copious amount of... newer stuff is pricey, but it's to be expected, and the amount of amazingly priced used stuff I have gotten from Amoeba makes up for any high priced recent titles I may have splurged on.
Also, since I am a struggling college student, I lack funds, and Amoeba usually always gives me a good store credit deal when trading in my unwanted vinyl and movies.. I have left disappointed in what they have given me in trade a few times... but I won't count it against them!
GO TO AMOEBA!
p.s. FREE parking right next to the store for up to 2 hours... unbeatable for a place in Hollywood.
