We have more Used CDs than you've ever seen under one roof!

Millions of titles, changing every day -- you'll find everything from recent releases to classic discs, at BARGAIN prices.  Most importantly, we've got more rare, collectible, out-of-print titles than any other store on the planet.  And it's all priced to fly out the door.

Amoeba is a huge trading post for all kinds of music -- we buy or trade CDs by the handful or the truckload at the front counter, we clean them up, price them and organize them beautifully for your shopping pleasure.  We strongly believe in our Used CDs -- it's a durable, long-lasting, great-sounding format, and we check the condition on each and every one.  Shopping USED is the best way to save money, and it's the ONLY way to find discs that are no longer in print.   And recycling CDs is good for the environment too!

Check out our Used New Arrivals sections daily, where we stock incoming used copies of hot new releases or reissues as soon as they hit the floor.  Lose yourself in our Huge Used Rock CD Section, a mind-boggling landscape of bands and artists from A to Z, where our knowledgeable staff will help you find just about any album you can think of.  Dig into our Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop, or World sections, where you'll find every title under the sun, with Used and New discs sitting side by side.  Or rummage through our Clearance sections, where you'll find red-tag titles $4.99 and under, guilty pleasures and hidden treasures alike.

Our Used CD sections are addictively fun -- the stock turns over daily, so if you don't find it Used today, chances are it'll be there tomorrow or next week.  You'll find armloads of stuff you weren't even looking for!  Happy hunting!
