1309.0. "Used CD trade-in in Boston?" by CASV02::CIALLI (Bit Brain) Tue Aug 30 1988 16:02

    
    Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I am new to the net.
    After gathering a fair number of CD's, you may find yourself not
    really listening to those you bought way back when.  Or you may
    have taken a chance on a disc and unfortuneately crapped out.
    
    Are there any "good" places in the greater Boston area that will
    give a fair amount of credit or cash value for used CD's?
    
    Thanks.  Any help is appreciated.

    Not a place in Boston, but there is a swapper's notesfile at
    CERBUS::CDSWAP which you can add by hitting KP7.

       Well, there are some places in Boston which will give you cash
    for used CDs, such as Nuggets and I think Planet in Kenmore Sq.,
    but they'll probably give you about $5.50 for the more popular ones,
    and maybe nothing for the more obscure ones.  But I agree with .1,
    you can do a lot better through CDSWAP, the going prices there are
    still $10 or $9 for most discs.  I think $10 is getting to be kind
    of high for used CDs, since many of the discs I've seen in CDSWAP
    for $10 I've seen at Lechmere (on sale) for less, and they're new!

1309.3Another place to sell FDCV03::MULATue Aug 30 1988 17:162
    Looney Tunes, near Tower Records is another place that will give
    you cash or credit for used cd's ... and the R word, records.
1309.4A little more info on Looney Tunes.BLASE::GAUTHIERAUA - Another Useful AcronymTue Sep 06 1988 14:4812
        
    Looney Tunes is on Boylston St. between Hemenway St. and Mass Ave. They
    have a good selection which turns over fairly quickly (it is located in
    the heart of Berkeley country).  The last time I checked all used CD's
    (single albums) sold for $10 regardless of the artist/title.  If you
    want to sell or trade a disk (assuming it is something they will be
    able to sell) they will give you $6 cash or $7 credit.

    Boston Compact Disc in Cambridge on JFK street (near Harvard's Kirkland
    House) gives $7.00 store credit for used CD's.
