Where do used movies and music come from?

We buy them from people just like you.

What movies and music do you buy?

We buy all formats and genres of music at the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Blaine locations. All stores buy DVD movies, however, only the Minneapolis location buys VHS movies. We need the original cases and artwork.
Note: We make an offer on everything, except STOLEN movies and music, and we make every effort to catch thieves!

Do you buy scratched items?

The price paid for CD’s and LP’s will depend on their overall appearance, condition and salability. DVD’s must be scratch free.

How much do you pay?

The price we pay will depend on appearance and salability. Please contact the store location directly for current price range.

Do I get more if I make a trade?

Unlike some stores, we pay CASH only for your movies and music. No store credit or trading will be offered.

How do I sell my movies and music to you?

Please bring your movies and music to us during normal business hours.
Please try to avoid our busiest times of the day, especially Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Additionally, within an hour of our closing time is not recommended.
If you have more than 100 pieces, you may want to call in advance.

Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are rarely needed, however we definitely recommend an appointment if you have over 1000 CD’s or DVD’s to sell us.

Do you have to listen to / watch each one in order to buy it from me?

No – very rarely will we attempt to play or watch a CD or DVD. We base our buying on appearance and salability. All used movies and music are exchangeable.

Can used movies or music hurt my equipment?

CD’s and DVD’s are optically scanned by laser – so No.
We inspect all records and tapes to ensure that they are of a quality that will not harm your equipment.
