I love this place! Used video games, vinyl, tapes, and CDs. A great used book section for my kids. The only problem I have is it's hard not to get sucked into a time vortex browsing there. I wish they had full sized carts to put my handsy kid in, but understand why they don't have them. Tons of great stuff packed into the store.
Me and my family like coming in for new finds. Lately I have been rather irritated at the pricing on movies. I understand you're trying to run a business and im sure rent ain't cheap but the dvds are over priced by $3 and the blu rays are about the same. You can buy absolutely new copies for cheaper than the cost of many movies here. Dvd's should average around $3 total, blurays around $7. Youre only paying people $.50 to a dollar for them anyhow. Isn't 300%+ enough?
I love this place, anyone looking for a quality place to get books, board games, video games, consoles or one of a hundred different types of collectables, this is the place for you. They have a wide variety of second hand vinal, tons of puzzles and board games. The staff are always helpful and know the store layout well. If you are looking to clean out your house of games or books this is also a good stop since they buy used items.
I love this place. Been going there for years. Used books, new books, old video games, new games, records. Musical instruments. Cool tshirts. Lame tshirts. They've got it all. Staff is ALWAYS always alwaaaaays super friendly. They do donation stuff all the time too. I really love this business a lot. Go there for Christmas gifts too! They have so many cool and unique gifts there.
I always love going to 2nd & Charles! This place is huge and the used books are a great deal. Plenty of new stuff too and tons of non book merch too. And musical instruments even!
