Unidisc

Unidisc is every lecturer’s worst nightmare. I can categorically say that Unidisc is the reason for the sole reason for 90% of the lectures I was ever late for at UQ. Whenever I saw other students sheepishly sneaking into a lecture late — and we all know that’s impossible to do subtly because your guaranteed to trip, drop your books, and accidentally slam the door just as your phone rings and you sneeze– I always wonder if, like me, they got sucked into the vortex that is Unidisc. ‘Just a quick look’ never fails to turn into at least a 10 minute reconnaissance of Unidiscs ever-​evolving collection of pre-​loved, secondhand books, CDs, videos, and DVDs.
I always find Unidisc to be a lot easier to find some treasure in than many secondhand book and music places and I’ve come to the conclusion that this is because it’s located on campus which means the majority customers and traders are roughly of my generation and thus enjoy similar things. Definitely make sure you go to Unidisc when you’re next killing time between classes. Don’t go if you’re running late for something though! You’re bound to find a bargain, and it’ll keep you out of the lolly shops grips for a while, too!

Ahhh Unidisc… you have been very good to me over the years. You started my first ever CD collection back in the day… it’s a great shop you have here.
With secondhand cds and dvds you will always find your vintage to your modern music here in this tiny shop they have cramped full of these old treasures. Sometimes you can find a new only used once type deal cd, and othertimes you will find CDs that were lost in translation many many years ago. Whatever the case, this shop has a history to it, it has the music to back up the history and a very knowledgeable guy at the counter to direct you through the chaos and tell you exactly what you would need, in my case a little bit of lost Van Halen.
