Request a catalog if nothing else. They've got a great selection
of European and Japanese imports, some domestic stuff too. One of
the priciest places I've dealt with, especially for shipping! But a
good selection nonetheless. Import CDs only. Full length CDs only,
no CD singles. They keep everything in stock, so there is a very
quick turnaround for your orders. They're a little stingy about
sending catalogs, though, so be persistent.
I have found them to be very helpful. Turnaround time is fast. They
didn't seem stingy with the catalog when I requested one, although
they did mention that an update was forthcoming, and I might want
to wait. I can't comment about the prices as the CD I was looking
for is known to be expensive (in the $30 range!)

Run by Francisco Morales. The catalog is extensive, mostly of
used LPs and new CDs, a mixture of set sale and auction items
(mostly set sale). A lot of rarities and obscurities.

Not sure if they're still in business. They used to carry a decent
selection of electronic/new age stuff.

Run by Steven F. Del Nero. A set sale and auction list of used but
near mint CDs and LPs. Steven mails out this catalog about once
a year or so of used items. The first part is an auction and the
second part is remaining items from previous auctions. His list is
fairly large and diverse, including obscure progressive, improv
and industrial music but pricing is close to what I can find the
items for new if I can find them (but I do live in an area with
good music stores). Quality of most items is supposed to be near
mint. Worth checking out.
A recent flyer from ART CONTROL said it's turning into a full-time
business and will be expanding to stock more new items in the
future. Probably with more frequent catalogs

Lots of fusion from around the world. Good prog selection,
however not as extensive as another Baltimore location, which is
Of Sound Mind. Catalog has a nice thumbnail blurb on each of the
CD's offered (some are just personel listings, but it's better
than nothing!)
