Is this music store notable in any way? Why should we have an article on it?dbenbenn |talk 23:54, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The Amoeba Music stores are some of the largest in the world. The San Francisco store is located in a bowling alley and at any time holds around 100,000 CDs (not including the thousands of LPs, tapes, DVDs, and other media). The Berkeley store has become a major landmark on Telegraph avenue, just as the San Francisco store has become a major landmark on Haight street. It is notable because of its size given its corporate independence. I will add further information and history to this article at some point which hopefully will make it more relevent. --Bungopolis 00:49, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Here is a write-up on the stores from Rolling Stone magazine in 1998[1] -Bungopolis 00:51, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Thanks! It would be great if you could find a source for the "major landmark" claim, so you could add that to the article.dbenbenn |talk 01:35, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I've seen people inDavis, California wearing shirts from there, and Davis is about 2 hours from SF in a car. (Anonymous)
  • TheLos Angeles Times Blog[2] andLos Angeles Business Journal[3] have both referred to the San Francisco location as a landmark.Rolling Stone (perBungopolis' citation at[4]) called the store one of the best in the world. Supposedly, the Los Angeles store is planned to carry around 250,000 titles in stock, making it one of the largest (if notthe largest) Independent record stores in the world. I'll add some references. -hadley22:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is Amoeba really an independent store? It is a chain, after all, and in Los Angeles it has been criticized for having aWal-Mart effect on music retailers in the neighborhood, driving small shops out of business. What would really qualify Amoeba as independent?

IT IS INTERESTING... that the local weekly newspapers that do annual "best of" stories... having every type of best of, from parks to chinese food... always have this music section that is all about "Best music store that is not Amoeba"

I would qualify it as a chain at this point... unlike Rasputins. Which has, one or two. But the fact is, I don't like anyone who really takes a uneven amount of value for trade ins and used stuff. Blah to them.

If they took an "even" amount of value what would be the incentive to offer the trade-in program at all? They would lose money on every trade because they'd be paying staff to deal with transactions that bring about zero net revenue. -Bungopolis10:52, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any proof that the staff actually "attempt to give customers as little as possible for their items." To me, this just sounds like sour grapes, and not something that should be posted on the main article. I think this info should be considered for removal. --DustyMurphy (talk)09:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amoeba is definitely notable

hope this puts the debate to rest:
