The staff is incredibly humble and accommodating. I didn't have enough coins to pay for my purchase, but they graciously let it slide. You can genuinely enjoy your time there without any interruptions from the staff. The selection of literature and language books is rare and captivating, making you want to buy them all.

What a great music store! I went in specifically looking for out of print 60s and 70s Hawaiian music and left with over a dozen CDs. Great selection and a very helpful staff!

This is my favorite store I visited on vacation. Insane collection of everything imaginable. Books, toys, vinyl, CDs, cassettes, comic books, tarot cards and manga. It's not just that the selection is large, but it's also very well curated and priced.The women behind the counter was very helpful and welcoming.It's also right across the street from another record store, and a 10 minute walk from BOOK-off.

We came in on a Thursday afternoon (1.05.2023). I brought my mom here to buy some vinyls for her phonograph that I'd bought her for Christmas. I had heard this place was like Jelly's before, so I was excited to check it out. They've got tons of treasures to look through from vinyls, cd's, books, and more.Not only did my mom find some of what she'd been looking for, I found a copy of a Bible I had been eyeballing for only $20, normally costing almost $50, and in almost brand new condition. I totally recommend coming to Idea's for all kinds of used media treasures.Unlike some places in this area, across from Salt Kakaako, where it can be difficult to find parking, or you have to pay for parking.... Idea's is in a building across the street that has its own parking lot with ample stalls reserved specifically for their business! That's also a total plus for me, as I'm not one that gets too thrilled about coming to this part of town. We'll definitely be back again for more!

I was struggling with finding parking for that other music store in the area because it was almost Christmas. Luckily it led me to stumble upon Ideas.This is what a music store should be: mix of new and old, memorabilia, books, and knowledgeable staff. They also play a great mix of music in the store. I'll be sure to come here for crate digging, books by local authors, and perusing rare and collectible toys. Also check out the eclectic mix of postcards, posters, and much more near the registers and the front door.
