The San Francisco Amoeba is a great store. I'd probably make weekly trips (or even more frequent?) if I lived in the area. The L.A. store, since it downsized, is still excellent, but the jazz section doesn't seem quite as expansive as it used to be. Nevertheless, in 2023, it's a rarity and a privilege to have such fine brick and mortars. The buyers know their music, and still give relatively decent prices when you bring in used discs for trade/sale. (Except for classical. I actually had a buyer apologize to me when I brought in a box of used classical discs for trade.)
Ohβand a tip I learned over the years. Always go straight to the "Newly Added" section (which is before "A" in the bins). It's not alphabetized, but that's where you can sometimes find gems before they're inventoried.
