Still the best store for movies, games and general nostalgia. Good prices and friendly staff. Love to browse, especially the older video games where you occasionally will find something rare!

Very big! One of the bigger Bullmoose I have visited. Books 📚, Blu-ray 📀, DVDS, 4K, video games, comic books and graphic novels, VHS, socks 🧦, collectables, kids section, movies and books separated by genre, seats to 🪑 sit at and vinyl. Friendly service. My daughter 😊 smiled when we pulled into the parking lot.

★★★★☆ — Stephen, Dec 2025

Bullmoose is one of my favorite stores in general, let alone in Maine. They sell movies (Blu ray, DVD, VHS), music (vinyl, cassette tapes, CDs), video games (almost all platforms, old and new), action figures, books (comics included), toys, and board/card games.

★★★★★ — Joseph, Dec 2017

Awesome store. I've bought online a number of times but this was my first opportunity to visit a location. The one I went to was formerly a Blockbusters store, so that gives you an idea to size. Records, DVDs, CDs, books, toys, games, novelties - basically anyone should be able to find something they would like.

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.
