Perfect place to find something old or new. Im old school and love checking out the cd collection. Ive found quite a few autographed ones. Im sad the inventory has decreased, but its to be expected. I usually buy a few books for my nephews and some Anime for myself. Even snagged up some Disney merch this time. You can also trade in your old games, books, movies and more here. The process is easy and painless, show ID and drop your items at the counter, get a number and come back when they either text you or put your number on the screen, then theyll have an offer for you. Expect not to get much though. Youll get more out of store credit than you do cash. I usually take items I was ready to just give away so at least I can get store credit toward my new goodies.
Love this place. From books to crafts to games. They even have great teas! If you need an unusual gift this is the place! Their prices are also great !
I love this book store! The staff are very nice and they always have the books Im looking for. The store is also clean and well kept. They also have shirts, vinyls, CDs, journals, video games and consoles, as well as other things. They have used and new books. A wonderful place indeed. 2nd and Charles pleases my aesthetic heart 💜
I brought in my Xbox 360 and they made me reset everything then refused to buy it. I brought in some games that they were selling for 20-30 dollars a piece and only offered me $6 for all of them, highly do not recommend trading in anything here. They made me walk around for over an hour making me feel like they would buy it then refused. I took everything back home with me. My Xbox works great just didn’t want it sitting around any longer. If I could give them a 0 star I would.
Amazing, just got book 1 of Homestuck today, thanks Charles the second.
Theres always a great selection, and the staff is always very friendly!
They gave great selection of books, DVDs, and gift ideas.
Massive selection of used books, games, comics, toys. And all very reasonably priced. They have pretty much anything and everything you could ever want.
This store is a must visit for anyone who likes pop culture! It has tons of vinyl, CDs, and a small selection of musical instruments for the music lovers. For the reader (casual or avid) they have the biggest selection of books Ive seen since Barnes and Noble closed shop. They use an alphanumeric system to help you locate specific genres which works incredibly well. Everything from rare books to the classics or newest in fiction/non fiction is available. The graphic novel/manga section is surprisingly vast and varied and youre almost sure to find what youre looking for. Plus, they always have amazing deals going on like BOGO or selections of media under $5. This store requires multiple visits to truly appreciate everything they offer. Not to mention, with their business model the inventory is always changing! As for staff they were above and beyond friendly and even helped find ways to save money utilizing the deals available. I cant wait to visit again!!! Prices on the whole are very very reasonable.
Hard to go there and not find a good used read. They dont buy beat up books, but they also dont charge new book prices on those. 2nd & Charles is more than a bookstore, though. They sell novelty items, toys, video games and accessories, musical instruments, DVDs and CDs, besides the books.
Great place to find some older books. Has newer stuff on hand too
Great place for all your nerdy needs, almost a second home to me lol
Don’t be tempted to sell your stuff here. As tedious as it is, listing anything that is in reasonably good condition elsewhere online would be more worth your while. Otherwise, you’ll drop off a box of books in perfect condition valued at over 50 dollars and receive 5 dollars in credit.Trade-in aside, books, games and merchandise here are highly marked up. A simple google search will show you that you’d pay double for something in this store that you can buy from an actual local shop (2nd and Charles is a chain) or an online retailer.
Went to buy a strategy guide that was old and had a worn cover and pages. They charged 25 bucks like it was brand new. Definitely would not recommend, they overprice stuff too much.
Great store to find a deal on new and used books. What surprised me on my first visit is the amount of board games and small electronics they had.
Terrible business poor communication very unorganized prices are terrible go to cartridges galore to buy and exchange games better prices and the give you the value of your game Ive returned 4 games in 2 weeks from 2nd and charles Wonderbook is right near cartridges books are cheaper dont get ripped of check out the stores I mentioned
Whenever I have the grandkids Ill take them there and they always come out happy with new games to play or a new toy or two
Our family loves this place. Its the one store we will go to just to browse around. The staff has always been friendly. They also know how to give you your space when shopping. Keep it real boys. We always on the prowl for the deals.
The best selection of manga Ive run across in a very long time. I brought my daughters there and ended up stuck there for hours. They have an excellent selection of music and movies also!
I love the selection they have one all things witchy and oh my the books.
If I could give them a zero stars I would. The service is terrible, made me wait over an hour, reset my system and then told me they werent going to offer anything. Games that gamestop would buy for $20 store credit they only offered me $6 in store credit. Total rip offs.
This spot has always been one of my favorite places to shop due to their top selection of books, vintage video games & system accessories. They have some really cute novelty items that make great gifts for nearly any occasions. The staff is great, always helpful and friendly. Always fun to stop through and walk around. Hope they stay around forever!
Always a great store to explore with such wonderful selection of books and other items.
Great place to find any pop culture collectables, comics, so much more. Everyone is so nice
Wow, I can spend so much time here. I love physical books, love browsing through them. Have to be careful and force myself to resist buying everyone I want. In addition to books, there is so much other print and audio material available, not to mention the cool things all over the store. Ya gotta visit!
This place is very cool! I had never heard of one before. It has so many things I didnt have time to look at everything! Amazing store!
This place is amazing. I try to go several times a week if not more. Love their Buyback process and their wide variety of movies, music, games, and books. Loads of books.
Great selection pricing on some things are a bit high such as switch lites over retail but most prices solid
My sons New favorite store for finding cool toys no other stores have. Sold some old books use store credit for new toys cant get any better than that👍
Great place to get books while staying on budget
Very interesting place for books lovers and collectors. A lot of choices. great book collection. books in most cases almost new. great stuff for art collectors. Toys miniatures and other.movies and attributes and of cource classic old vintage computer games.
My absolute fav place to get my inner geek/fan boy on. Thanks to my awesome wifey for finding this gem a few years back. They have books, games, comics, toys and even my fav: retro gaming for Nes, SNES, Sega Genesis and other classics. Oh, and if your into role playing, yes the do carry, of course the non-XXX kind, tee hee. 🤭
A TON of cool stuff there...books games...etc. Super nice staff....be careful if you are nerdish like me....you could get lost for some time...Oh yeah..great prices too.
This place is very Millennial-friendly, stock-wise. Pop culture stuff everywhere without being in-your-face like Spencers & Hot Topic. It also had some kitschy stuff. I made the mistake of buying one of their flavored cotton candies (nasty). My significant other bought 3 vinyls for roughly $35 before tax! They have a lot of comics, too!
Pretty cool store to go to. All kinds of books to go through.
Are you a weeb? Like fun things? Gamer? This is your store.
Prices were just as expensive as any other bookstore. Just a messy Borders.
Some good prices. Variety of things
Its like a mix of Game Stop ans Barnes and Nobles. They have used and new games, books, music, movies, and a selection of gifts. The prices are reasonable and the items are normally in good condition.
I would not recommend selling your books here. If you give them a brand new book that cost you $20, they will pay you $1 or $2 for it. Better to have a yard sale then sell there
Still an amazing place to go and everytime you go there you find something different that wasnt there the first
Truly an interesting place. The variety including books and many non books keep ones interest in continued exploration. Very enjoyable experience
Ive been to five different locations of this store and this one is by far my favorite. Ive found the most interesting, unique, and obscure items at this location in particular. Professional staff service as well.
This is an awesome, fun store! Very large selection of books, games, records, CDs, board games and more. I couldnt believe it when I walked in. Definitely a destination to check out if you are in the area.
Get great deals on great stuff. If you have nostalgia, they have it. Amazing selection of movies, music, books and videogames that change all the time.
Great video selection. No classical CDs
My first time in store.Nice, clean, friendly.Widest variety of Amish Christian fiction of any store Ive visited.Lots to look at in store.
Unique book store with many, many used books. Reasonably priced.
Love this place. All kinds of unique gifts and lots and lots of books!
I like the huge selection of used DVDS and box sets, records,comics, books.
Great place to find Christian CDs
Impressive selection, helpful staff
You can find a gift for anyone for any occasion! Plastic bag free, super enthusiastic staff. I buy myself gifts all the time!
I am warning everyone do not fall for the “free” 4 magazines deal for a year, they try to offer when your getting checked out. I did this and received one magazine for free for one month, after that I was charged for all 4 magazines and did not realize that second Charles gave my debit card info to these magazine companies . They continued to take money out of my account for a year and half when I was completely unaware. No one offered a refund, not even second Charles! They are all scammers as far as I’m concerned!
Awesome place for new & used vinyl, books, gaming systems, games, tshirts and so much more. Stop by and give them a try.
Still love this place, even though they cut down the vinyl collection. Awesome place for books, games, comics, movies, and lots of other cool collectibles.
They have books. If you like books, this is the place for you!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 many thumbs up
Ok place to shop. Prices are reasonable. If your selling youll get a better deal at a pawn shop.
Loved it. Awesome selections
They have fun collectables, prices are all over the place though.
I thought it was Second Hand Charles and I would be able to get a glove for my double hand...They actually sell preowned games and stuff. Picked up a nice copy of Battle Toads so all in all it was a pretty great day.
Cool place but most of tbe stuff they have especially Vinyl records I can buy $10-$15 cheaper online.
Second Charles is a really cool place from games and music to books and literature always a cool place to check out
Love this store, I could spend hours in there.
Nice place, new and used books for all. Used book i purchased looks new. Games, toys and letter writing items available in the store, clean restroom and friendly cashiers
5 stars for inventory as I always find something I need here... 0 stars for trade in value. If you are considering selling anything here like video games, their offers are offensive. If youre looking for cash, they literally offer you less than 10% of the value, but even if you are wanting/willing to take trade-in credit they still only offer you maybe 12% of the value. Dont sell your stuff to them, there are SO many other better choices to do so! And the customer service here is horrible also!
Awesome place! Got some vinyl I’d been looking for and had some great used games and even some horror books I’d been wanting!!
Short pines lots of books. Nice people. Has a free bin out side
This store is fantastic! Has everything from vinyl to obscure board games to video games. A store everyone could enjoy and the staff is always helpful.
I LOVE it here. Always interesting finds, well organized, clean, and the staff is great. My only issue is when selling to them, the policy that they get rid of items you dont pick up fast enough. Worse than that, they never informed us of this policy. My partner was devastated to lose some records they had decided not to sell, but couldnt pick up fast enough due to work schedules and us living an hour away. If we had known they just toss peoples belongings, we would have prioritized picking them up.
Love the selection of everything they have from books to comics to pops.
This is our go to store for books and movies. Plus they will buy books you no longer need and give you cash our our favorite, in store credit. We can then buy things we want with no cash. The staff is great there. They are very helpful & friendly.
Its a wonderful place to find used books, games, movies, CDs, and records. They have a lot of options!They also buy used items but you dont get a lot of cash for them. I would say its only worth it if you want store credit.
If I could this company 0 stars I would. I shopped here a year ago and the lady at the front desk offered a free magazine subscription to me. She asked me my address and zip code. Little did I know 2nd and charles gave my debit card information to these magazine companies and has charged me $260 for a year of subscriptions. I was completely unaware. Never shopping here again. They are scammers.
I love this store. I think I spent 2 hours prowling the shelves of new and used books, found an armful to take home, and still spent under $50. That doesnt describe the manga, music, comics, or collectibles that they have. Its a nerd/geek paradise!
Has all varieties of books, movies, cds, video games and other exciting things
I love this places because it has all kinds of stuff for everyone :) but.... they dont give you bags for your stuff. Bring your own or buy a reusable one
Love this place. Awesome selection of used and new....
Was rlly good all workers helped well
The store was super clean and staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!
Great store did buy back program to get store credit love it!!!
I love it. I was able to get what I needed at a lower rate then other used book stores. And things are easy to find.
Awesome lots of great stuff if you like books games and movies
Always happy to go in here. Best deals around.
This is one of my favorite places to take my kids to look for used books. The staff is super helpful and their selection is great. Prices are very low when you look at the used sections. They also have a great number of games and comic books for all you fellow geeks. You can also take a stroll down memory lane with all of their older video games but they do have newer ones as well.
Awesome store!!! Glad i went in to see what it was about! Comics, games,music, movies, game systems etc.
Good place to get game movie and lot of different stuff
Love this place! prices a little high but the ability to trade in, priceless.
Really great used book prices. Found some books I never thought Id be able to find for surprisingly low prices. The cataloguing and organization system leaves a lot to be desired though. Some genres arent separated out and are just thrown into the fiction section, and the sci-fi fantasy section is disappointingly small in comparison to other genre sections. All in all a pretty nice place with good prices and alot of options. Dont buy video games there, rip off prices worse than gamestop.
Awesome experience
Im not a huge fan of 2nd & Charles. They have super nice gift items that are unique such as Japanese candy, funky journals, and nifty bookmarks... great for stocking stuffers..but everything is super expensive. Their used books and toys are also insanely expensive for what they are. Since we dont have any other book stores around, they definitely have a monopoly in town. I have heard that they give very little money for trade-ins/sales which makes me think of pawn shops and payday loans that take advantage of unemployed and underemployed folks. It just rubs me the wrong way!
Great place if you want to find something new they have retro videogames, comics, and books to toys for kids, blue ray, DVD, ect, ect. This place is a go to
Safety, clean... Books, books and books... my uncle, my nice and i love this place
Great store. Buy 5, get 5!...make sure the books are used though.
Cool place to shop s my hi
