Most folks go for the music, I go for the videos. I can rarely leave without dropping about a hundred bucks on DVDs, and yes, the occasional CD. The music sorting is a little eclectic, but there's always the folks at the info booth to tell you where _they_ have categorized an artist. They take trade-ins, of course, but it's been my experience that some clerks are a little more generous and forgiving than others with the credit-to-useless ratio.
They really crank the stuff out there. If any other place did as good a job on such a ginormous scale, I'd have knocked them down to four stars. Even having worked there 4 years as a buyer (SF & Berkeley) can't diminish my love for the place.
Amoeba really is undervalued for it's video section too, one of the country's best. Mad Kudo's to my great friend Wayne for making it so, so boss.
A big old barn full of lots & lots of music.
Works for me
