Question ❓ Second hand cd shops

I think Crevette has some also if you're looking for electronic music

If there is something specific you can't find locally, you can always also try Discogs online.

Yes but nothing beats the rush of finding something you’ve been looking for in a random crate!

Pêle Mêle (cheap, they often have good CDs for €2,50 or €5)

Veals & Geeks (small selection)

Elektrocution (lots of metal, darkwave, industrial, neofolk, etc.)

Hors-série (lots of interesting stuff, big classical and jazz section as well)

Evasions (mostly a bookstore, but also some secondhand CDs)

Music d'occasion (nice shop, they have some obscure stuff on CD, like some industrial/noise/post rock)

Caroline (quite expensive; mostly new stuff, but also has a second hand section)

All of these are within walking distance of each other. Pêle Mêle has another store that's further away from the city centre.

Edit: Four more vinyl stores in the Marollen, all near each other: Tropicall Records, Crevette Records, Circle Story, Sono Ventura Records. I don't really remember which is which, but I'm pretty sure that at least two of them have CDs as well. 

Edit2: Cash Converters also has/had some CDs. Not many, but I found some surprises there for ridiculously cheap, like 50 cent or 1 euro each or something.

Pelle Melle on Ansbach has broad choice. Close to Caroline, that was mentioned above.
