Used Buying Policies

Waterloo is always buying your used CDs, DVDs and LPs. What we take depends on a variety of factors including desirability, condition and stock. We buy only things that we believe our customers will buy so we can't guarantee that we'll make an offer on everything that you bring in. However, we always pay top dollar for the items that we do take and offer the same amount for cash or trade.

Prices that we pay can vary widely based on the same factors mentioned above that determine what we buy. On average, however

, we'll pay $2-5 for CDs, from 50¢ to $4 for LPs and $2-7 for DVDs.
