• Etherea

  66 Avenue A, 212-358-1126

  Selling used CDs usually means having a High Fidelity moment of your very own: Clerks either snicker at your taste or haggle you down to the point where you should have saved the subway fare. Etherea is an exception. While this isn’t the place to unload your Manilow collection (the staff leans more toward the contemporary), these guys are friendly, and most important, they will pay well for your cast-offs—often upwards of $6 per disc.
