CD/Game Exchange

Great place to shop for music and movies. Best prices around with their great selection of blu rays starting at $ 2.50, CDs can be found for even cheaper. Plus they offer a one week return window on their products, considering everything is used that’s pretty cool.
The game selection isn’t the largest in town, but they are relatively competitive with similar shops. I can think of one in particular that has then beat locally on game prices and trade in.
Which brings me to the main reason I can’t give 5 stars. They tend to offer very little for trade in, i’d say this is the norm, but other shops in town pay top dollar for popular games, whether they’re old or not.
Overall a great shop with a HUGE selection of CDs and Movies and some games and gaming supplies. Not to mention the great downtown location.

If you’re looking to sell stuff — well, don’t expect much, but they do buy a lot of things. They bought stuff I didn’t expect them to. But don’t expect more than 50 cents or so for DVDs or a couple bucks tops for games.
Now, if you’re looking to buy — the selection here is great. The prices are fair. If they don’t have something you really want, if you’re polite and ask they just might call you when they find one.
I have found a lot of great games here, all in excellent shape, with the original packaging and booklets. They play great music, have a killer selection of posters, and have so many TV show seasons and older movies and CDs as well.
The staff overall is friendly, more of them are really friendly and great at what they do than not. A few have rubbed me the wrong way, like a guy who faked his need to be right next to me as I was shopping, fake organizing the already organized racks, presumably because he thought I was trying to steal something. They have a policy of leaving bags at the register, which frustrates me as an honest gal, but it’s understandable.
I really like most of the people there, who kinda just let me shop or politely let me fangirl about games from 15 years ago. That’s customer service, man.

Excelent customer service, great selection of movies at a great price. They have Tons of music cd’s too.

This is THE best place for games, music, and more!
I married an absolute nerd, so this place is my dream for anything game related. The prices are cheap, you can buy used games in great condition at good prices. Both my husband and I find great stuff here. I’ve got an old school Game Boy color and I can find games for it here. We buy bunches of Xbox games as well for my husband.
Employees are always super helpful and nice, answering questions and getting games when needed. They keep games in locked cases, as I would presume theft is quite an issue. So you have to ask anytime you want to see a game. But there’s always at least two employees in a small store, so there’s never a wait to do so.
They have a 7 day return policy, which they always go over with you when you buy something, and stamp the price tag with the date. I’ve never had to use this, so I have no experience other than them making sure you’re clear on how it works and how long you have to return something.
The selection of video games, DVDs, consoles, vinyl records, and CDs is quite impressive. It’s an adventure winding through the isles browsing the wide variety of selections. I always enjoy that, and finding some old school album or game I love for a cheap price.
It’s a small store. However with the selection, it doesn’t feel cramped. Until you get more than a few customers inside. That’s when it gets cramped. Parking is on the street, which you have to pay for until 6pm. It’s not a huge deal. My husband and I wander over to the St. Vinnie’s a block down the road while we’re there.
It’s a store we’ve been going to for several years and will definitely keep returning to.

I’m so torn about this place because they do have a lot of good stuff, games, CDs, all that nice stuff the other reviews mention. But then I get a little overwhelmed that the staff is asking if you need something constantly and to get to any of the games you need someone to come over with a key (though there usually is someone right there about to ask you yet again if you need anything when you get curious, so yay that you don’t have to hunt them down but boo that it seems like they reaaaaally want to know what you’re doing all the time. Maybe they’re afraid of theft more than anything else?). The cases have been so worn down that so many game titles are obscured by the scratches so yeah you’re gonna be asking them a lot of times to open cases. Also it bugs me a little that the little grab boxes of super cheap games for like psp or gameboy are also in cases so you have to ask just to shuffle through things that even the store admits with their pricing is pretty cheap cheap cheap. Grab boxes would make more sense to me to leave somewhere a little easier to search through. Anyway, the final verdict is that this place is worth a visit every so often, but if you have anxiety issues that make social situations challenging you might want to bring a buffer friend to help out.

Cashier people are rude, also they reduce all of the returns so don’t expect full amount return. Will I becoming back hell no.

Dropped in here while exploring downtown, was impressed by the wide array of games and all the posters on the walls. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the visit was a pleasant one despite their not having my favorite game in stock. Will drop by again soon!

If you’re trying to flesh out your vinyl collection or introduce yourself to some new things you haven’t heard before, this is the place to start. After leaving Skip’s on 11^th almost $ 80 poorer and with only four embarrassingly hipster-​esque brand new albums to show for it, I decided to try the CD/​game exchange and headed to the back where they keep their one wall of vinyls.
When one of their staff members, David, asked me if I needed help, I initially said no. You know, because I was a little embarrassed to be working off a ridiculously long list scribbled on multiple sides of a paper napkin. Despite this, David spent the next eternity reading off names and flipping through shelves for me, and had a fantastic story about the artist for every album that he handed me. This guy clearly loves jazz so much that you start to love it more just standing next to him.
For less than the $ 80 I spent at Skip’s, I left the CD/​Game Exchange with sixteen albums including Donny Hathaway, Sidney Bechet, Fatts Waller, Art Tatum, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, James Brown, The Rolling Stones, Dizzy Gillespie, Aerosmith, Maurice Chevalier, Bessie Smith, and Duke Ellington… and I’m a whole lot happier about it.
Thanks again to David and the friendly guys at the counter. I’ll be back soon.

What a load of trash. This place has gone downhill tremendously. Call for something and they say they have it. What they don’t tell you is that it won’t work. Thanks a lot cd game exchange for wasting everyone’s time. I really loved it when I called the place to say they sold me broken goods, the half ass employee has the audacity to tell me that they don’t have the time to make sure everything works before selling it. Is that so? So when I came in, picking your panties out of your ass is a better way to spend your shift than actually testing the stuff your selling. Get your act together and maybe hire some employees that understand you won’t have happy customers if you sell them broken stuff.

Great selection of well priced games, movies, and vinyl. I frequent the spot relatively often, and I feel that most of the employees hold it down well. I’ve had one poor experience with an individual employee, and I haven’t seen him since. Dope spot to frequent.

Well organized store that is a great first stop for finding used games, movies, and CD’s! Granted you do find brand new items every so often in there. Staff is always friendly and helpful when needed.

Great selection of older games Sega, SNES, NES, an good movies too… Its my to go place for my gaming needs only down side is the parking in Down Town Eugene!!! They guys are knowledgable and friendly… This is my second stop every payday!!! Hahaha

The first thing I noticed was how many times the staff asked if we needed help. That can be cool I guess but at the same time, how many «I’m just browsings» do you need to hear before you let it go?
Good prices on a lot of different items. I hear this place is great to sale your old stuff.
I bought some used records for really cheap… so that was cool.
We will probably be back.

CD Game Exchange in Eugene is exactly what you’d expect. It offers a great selection of new and used albums, Blu Ray, DVDs, posters, and of course video games. I found the staff to be overall polite and helpful. Finding a rare album from a favorite band for around five dollars makes the occasional visit well worth it. My only criticism would be to shop around if you’re considering selling any of your old media to the joint, as you’ll likely be disappointed with the price quotes (think pawnshop). All in all, I would highly recommend this store for audiophiles and for those gamers on a budget.

I bought a Wii not long ago there, used of course, but was perfectly fine, I’ve not had an issue at all with it, the staff was super friendly and helpful when I was purchasing it, made sure I understood their policies and that if it wasn’t working to come back and they would fix the issues I had. I’m definitely glad I bought it there instead of some online seller.

Depending on their stock of a particular item you can find some excellent deals on media. They have a 7 day return policy that I’ve never had to use but provides a buyer the chance to return a disc in the event that it doesn’t work after you get it home. Staff is very helpful, the atmosphere is friendly. Since they are located on a busy street parking downtown can be an issue, other than that they are a great place to shop.

I have mixed feelings about the cd/​game exchange. A few years ago I would have given them 5 stars no problem, but the quality of product has gone down while the prices have gone up. Used to be you could get a decent deal on video games if the store had a few in stock. Newer games would be $ 50 maybe for the first one, $ 45 for the next, $ 40 for the next, and maybe bottom out at $ 35 or $ 30. Now these same newer games rarely go below $ 45, even if there are a half dozen of them. Meanwhile, your trade-​in value is less every you go in there. Decent selection, but I find I never have enough credit to get anything because the prices are so high.
Also, too many dvd’s and CDs are beat up. They offer a return policy, but I lived in Newport for years and had no way to test things until I got home and the policy was only good for a week. Had to eat some cash from that. Trading in CDs is lousy — you get next to nothing for yours, but even old CDs will end up being sold for $ 8-​$ 12 and you only got $ 1-​$ 2 in credit.
Overall I have moved most of business elsewhere. I stop in and check on things from time to time, but I rarely get anything because it is too expensive.

Big props goes out to one of my most favorite stores in all of Eugene, Springfield because they always have what I’m looking for at a fraction of the cost. The people who work at CD/​Game Exchange always greet me with happy, smiling faces and always help me find what I am looking for. CD/​Game Exchange is a great asset to the Eugene Downtown area. It wouldn’t be the same without you guys. CD/​Game Exchange is always more than fair in the buy and sell trade. These guys are number one in my book. :)

The owner/​manager guy is pretty cool and will give a fair price for things. The other employees are too busy being hipsters to care about anything else. The music is too loud, discs are often scratched and over priced, and there are almost always smelly bums in or around the establishment. Their record selection is decent, but again, over priced.

Unlike many major game corporate stores, cd/​game exchange is friendly and knowledgable. They take great care of their customers and products.
Ive never felt anything but awesome after leaving this store. Such fair prices.
Great asset to the community.
