They rarely pay more than a dollar or two for DVDs, but their trade policy can be generous. (Look for 3-for-1 trades deals two or three times per year.)

Sell Your CDs
Charley's Records & Tapes
7602 Menaul NE
296-3685
They generally more for CDs, cassettes and LPs in good condition than the other guys. Interested in metal, hardcore and relatively obscure titles some of the other locals won't touch.
Disc and Record Roundup
2529 San Mateo NE
881-9877
They'll pay between $2 and $5, depending on the title. Decent selection.

They don't pay much, so you're best bet is to trade for store credit. Buyers tend to have less musical knowledge than you do, so weed out the stuff you know they won't recognize beforehand so as not to waste too much time. Their budget selection can be a gold mine if you're in the market.
Krazy Kat
9012-A Central SE
294-5644
It's nearly impossible to walk into Krazy Kat and not walk out with something you didn't have before. The selection is eclectic and crammed into a cramped little space that you'll spend hours perusing. They pay the standard “up to five bucks” for most CD titles, but they also deal in vinyl and collectors' items. Good luck.
Natural Sound
3422 Central SE
255-8295
Used to be notoriously picky—which is why they're notorious for having the best selection of used CDs in town—until they bought a couple of resurfacing machines. Now they'll take pretty much anything you take in, as long as it's a strong title. Expect $4 to $5 for good titles in good condition. Eighty percent of trade total in cash. They also buy VHS, DVDs and limited cassettes.
Page One Too
11018 Montgomery NE
294 –5623
Relatively knowledgeable buyers, good selection, good prices paid. You get more in trade, of course, but you're looking for gas money, right?
We Buy Music
107 Harvard SE
256-2524
You'll get $1 to $5 for good titles in good condition, and you'll get 50 percent more in store credit than you'll get in cash. They also buy DVDs, cassettes, LPs and VHS.
Wherehouse Music
2511 San Mateo NE
884-4848
Like the name suggests, Wherehouse Music is huge and crammed with a huge selection. Expect standard buying prices and less in cash than trade.
