Bleecker street music
Big record store where you can probably find a little bit of everything. Maybe a little higher priced than some of the other shops, but they've also got some collector's items that if you don't mind paying the high prices you might want to check out the records they have on the walls...then again, if that's what you're interested in you could always just check out their website for their ebay auctions.

Levi's outlet

Another great used vinyl store in New York city. This place is in the east village and one of those places where genres be damned, they've got a little bit of everything, or maybe I should say you never know what you'll find. It's right in front of another good shop too - Tropicalia in Furs
Only open on the weekends!!
Open Friday and Saturday 1pm-10pm and Sunday from 1pm-7pm
Subway stop: 2nd Ave - Lower East Side Station
