My Amoeba Haul: Since I never shut up about it.

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Mon Sep 05, 2005 11:57 pm

This past weekend I made my way out west (to watch the Yanks take 2 of 3 from the A's) and to visit two Amoeba's (Berkeley and San Francisco). I had visited the one in SF two years back and it gives the Hollywood one, a run for it's money...

I was dissapointed in the Berkeley one...By far the smallest of the three..The selection therefore was average at best....On top of that, two doors down was another store called Rasputins, which was 10x the store the Berkeley Amoeba was..I wish I would have traded in my stuff there instead.

I had shipped about 140 CD's out to my hotel looking to trade em in for some store credit, as i had a good sized list with me....I recieved $260 in store credit for my trade-in's. Between the two stores, here is my haul. Pardon the layout, as I have cut and pasted it from the 'Purchases' thread...

It was probably my favorite purchase out of all of em....Last week I picked up 'Hero at Large" a 70's John Ritter super hero joint as well.

The fact that I have actually seen "Hero At Large" and am now admitting it makes me want to off myself........

RRRRRRIIIIIIITTTTEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!

Oh, and Amoeba does indeed RAWK!

timmyjoe42 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:23 pm

so you traded 140 cd's for 29?

I'd like to see what you traded, since there are probably people here on the board who would give you at least $5 per cd making it more worth your while.

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:39 pm

Nah, it was all crap. Alot of metal, or washed up rock...hardly anyhting that would appeal to the cmj/obner contigent....

my trade-off was a steal on my behalf....espcially, since i didnt pay a penny for the 140 i got rid of...woot.

timmyjoe42 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:45 pm

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Tue Sep 06, 2005 1:48 pm
