HRO while dealing mostly in ham radio, does have a scanner or two on the shelf and might be worth visiting. They are on the web a Ham Radio Outlet - World's Largest Supplier of Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) Equipment. Sales, Supplies, and Service.

+1 for Ham Radio Outlet. I have purchased about half my gear from their various stores. They routinely have "the good stuff" in stock.
The other half of my gear has come from Jun's Hamcity in Culver City:

It's a small shop so if it's listed as in-stock on their site it's in stock at the store. There's not much to browse there though... pretty much know what you want, go to the counter and ask for it. They're friendly enough.

Yeah, it's on the other side of the country, in Massachusetts (on the East Coast). About 2500 miles (4100 km) from Los Angeles. Not sure why they were mentioned in this thread. I've purchased from them online and received excellent service, but I've never been there since I live in Southern California.
All the good scanner stores that I knew in the 70's and 80's are gone. They disappeared once a lot of local agencies went encrypted and online shopping became popular.
The LA Ham shop has a pretty decent price on the GRE PSR 500 model.
Yeah, I saw several at the Fry's in Austin.
