Cheap Thrills

My name is Jef, and I'm the new Music Buyer for Cheap Thrills! (Actually, I handle the new product.....Jon oversees the used and graded product).

Let's see if I can answer some of your questions!

As far as our most prominent sections, ROCK/Pop is definitely the largest when it comes to new. We also have a pretty good sized selection of used Jazz/Easy Listening/Pop.

We do have a local section as well, but it's primarily CD, with a few albums and EPs tossed in.

Once again, we do stock both new and used vinyl.

As far as our inventory goes, it's constantly changing. Unfortunately, we do not have an inventory database.

Hope this answers some of your questions! Feel free to reach out with any others!

Have a great rest of your day!

Jef - Cheap Thrills

Cheap Thrills has been a fixture in San Luis Obispo since 1971, operating a 7,000 square foot space that stocks music, movies, and video games. The store features a dedicated vinyl record mezzanine on the upper level, along with a back issue comic room. It's situated halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco on California's coast.

You'll find the store at 563 Higuera Street. For questions, call 805-544-0686 or visit cheapthrills.biz. You can also reach out through their Facebook page or email web@cheapthrills.biz. _
