cook_jaime Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Just went to Princeton Record Exchange in NJ for the first time and they have a really nice selection of CDs for $1.99. They even have a metal section. Can't say I really looked at the new selection so I don't know how it was. The Baltimore, MD area has several Record & Tape Traders that have a decent selection. LA has Amoeba Music which is the best I've seen. Just a huge store. Went to Vegas over New Years and researched some CD stores to visit. Both sucked. I know Philly has one in Manyunk. Does anyone know any others in the Philadelphia area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Rick Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Went to Vegas over New Years and researched some CD stores to visit. Both sucked. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have yet to find a decent used cd store in Vegas. There's one by the university that is mostly college music but I've come across one or 2 good discs. The other is a music store in a mall on the north end of town that I had some luck but they don't have their used stuff organized very well so it's really hit and miss.

cook_jaime Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Big B's on Maryland Ave was definitely the better of the 2. The other one was right across the street but I can't remember the name. You know it's bad though when I go to 2 used CD stores and walk away empty handed.

Let me know if you find anything in Philly, I'm only about an hour away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to make a stop there last trip up but they had already closed for the day. I'm a little leery about hitting any pawn shops in Vegas proper for fear of leaving with less than I had before I went in (billfold, my car, etc...). The pawn shop in Henderson on Sunset right off the 515 is horrible, don't waste any time there. There used to be a CD Wherehouse that was awesome. I dropped $115.00 there my first stop and then the next time I went they had shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsf Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Gonna use this thread to piggyback another city? Anyone know any good ones in NYC? Headed there this weekend and I think I'll have a LITTLE time, so, knowing the best would be helpful. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
