There is plenty of used in new arrivals and on the shelves. If you want a VG+ copy of something not in super demand you are typically looking at $8. A little more beat up copy but fine for listening go to jerrys for $3-5. Jerrys son is running the warehouse on Saturdays in Swissvale too. Almost everything is $5

This is the correct answer. Pop by Grist House brewing while you're there.

Fungus is a tightly curated little shop that always has a nice selection of rare records- If you’ve got fairly deep pockets, you’ll find a thing or two there

Seconding recommendations for preserving underground and cruel noise for punk and metal. Would also add get hip records to that list

Because of the party nomination? I’m sincerely into hearing who’d be better.

The owner is crass, but the employees have been ok. Rude won't keep me from what I'm looking for.
Edit: OP is out of town and going to a Pens game. Not that far out of the way. Probably shoot a puck from the arena and hit the building.

Used to love the attic for deals on used records, but now everything is a $35-55 reissue. There's a basement I haven't been down to see, maybe that's where the deals are hiding.

Overpriced and rude. Last shop I’d go to and I shop almost daily at record stores. Makes me a little sad because I’ve been going to Eide’s for nearly 40 years.
Now if you need to keep someone busy with comic books or movies while you flip through the bins, this is your place.

Apparently the state and just about every DA disagrees with you. This same statement appears on the website of dozens of DAs in PA:
"The District Attorney, as the chief law enforcement officer of the county, is mandated by law to sign all bills of indictment and conduct in court all criminal and other prosecutions in the name of the Commonwealth."
The only one twisting things is you.

I did not say that he is has the authority to make Kennywood do anything, I was just correcting the statement made by the poster.

Went to the Government Center last night to go see a show and that place is pretty cool. I’m guessing it all depends on what you’re looking for but their record selection seems pretty decent. They had a lot of punk metal and rock. Some Underground rap and even some experimental electronic.

If you want punk and metal then you want to go to Pleasant Dreams in polish hill.
The Government Center has some punk and indie stuff too. But I don’t think they go as deep into the crusty stuff and metal as Pleasant Dreams does.
Jerry’s is great if you want to flip through TONS of used stuff.

I used to work there, I'm sure they would be happy to sell you some unroasted ones if they have them on hand.

Eide’s is an option. It’s at the beginning of the strip district down town.

Attic is your best bet probably. Record exchange in Sq hill and on McKnight rd would be decent as well. Jerry's will have some as well.

The Preserving Record shop in New Ken has a ton of punk/metal records. Definitely worth checking out.

Did both Sunday before last. Visited The Attic, walked up Grant and popped in to Iron Born Pizza and ordered a pie to take over to Grist House to enjoy with a brew. Great outing 😀
