What People Are Saying About Used Kids Records
Featured Review

Going Underground – Used Kids sits below street level in the middle of campus. The small-scale room has stacks of CDs that stretch, almost literally, from the ceiling to the floor. Arranged by genre, browsing these shelves will likely yield some titles that you're looking for. – – The Service – The staff is highly knowledgeable, which can be a positive and a negative factor in your shopping experience. On the upside, they can help you find that Richard Buckner CD in no time flat. But if you run into a guilty pleasure, like ABBA's greatest hits, and…
Editor's Tips

The best in town

Great selection of used CDs, and few select new CDs, and an amazing range of vinyl. Check out the bagin vinyl bin to find that REO Speedwagon album that your older brother listened to all the time--you won't be dissapointed. Great staff, too, and a groovy scene on rainy Saturdays.

Lots of used vinyl
by devodave66 at Citysearch
After picking through little stacks of LPs at other record stores, I returned to the Ohio State University favorite. Used Kids has relocated to a second-floor location a few doors down and it is even better than the old store. They have thousands of used LPs and have them priced quite reasonably. A giant dollar section and many others for five dollars or less. I had to stop myself because I was finding more good records than a reasonable budget allows.
- Pros: selection, price

Best in Midwest
by jonesin1 at Citysearch
This is the best record store in Ohio. You almost always find the most obscure thing you thought to look for and alot else you hadn't.If this is the last record store you stop at in town, you'll regret the money you spent everywhere else. So come here first.
- Pros: Trade value, Selection new & used, Vinyl Heaven
