From the reviews

I've visited a couple Bull Moose but I never found something interesting, but this location is worth the trip! A large variety of books, video games, movies and goodies! I found some uncommon games for a pretty fair price, I will go back for sure. The staff is friendly too! Fun that it's open til 10pm too.

Love this place! A TON of movies, collectables, gift items, CDs, vinyls, VHS tapes, table top games and MORE! If you are looking for a specific movie it is here and if not, they will order it for you! The staff is always so nice and helpful. I could spend HOURS in here easily.

★★★★★ — Hilary, Jan 2026

It's a fun store. They sell books, music, movies & TV shows, video games, toys & games. Target audience is anyone older than 15 basically. Fair prices, good customer service. They also buy some used stuff (CD, DVD, XBOX, PlayStation, books, etc) and they sometimes bundle used items in cheap grab-bags.

★★★★★ — David, Oct 2025

This place was originally a place we stopped to "waste time" before heading to the airport and hopefully find a book to read on the plane. Ended up spending more time than originally planned, which was a good thing!

Selling or trading gear at Bull Moose

Bull Moose comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
