Waterloo has some used CDs, but by far their largest business is in new
CDs; they also have a large stock of music DVDs. (Recently they did
purchase 4,00 used CDs from an estat
--including 1800 classical, almost
all of which was 20th century.)
And, no, neither Waterloo nor Book People is part of a chain of any
kind. And how was anyone to think your post referred to chains? Write
what you mean.
