Availability of cheap vinyl in SF?


I am moving to San Francisco and thinking about getting a turntable. I would be looking for cheap, say generally under $3, mainly classical records. So what is the scene like?

Would it be possible to amass a decent collection?

there are a couple of place in north beach where they have PLENTY of records at $3 or less....you barely have enough space to walk there as it is all packed with records....it is also very dusty. i forgot the name of the stores but you can easily find them after you cross the columbus avenue and pass the park, going towards coit tower...very helpful and fun staff as well. enjoy it.
All this talking is making my hands itchy! I've not gone vinyl shopping for over a year due to a not-so-recent additoion to my family. And he's a handful at the age of 1 1/2 years, so my vinyl playing time are much limited these days. But I guess I should visit Berkeley soon before this new guy grabs all the good stuff. ;-)
