Always chill and helpful staff. Though I think it’s sad you have to be 18 to sell something there, I’m sure it some kind of law to do with it though. Anyways I found some nice gems there for amazing prices!!
Cool big used book store with plenty. Rates for selling used books are low but hey if your done with a book and there is no reason to hold onto it, might as well get some money to go towards your next book purchase. The books there are priced fairly for the most part.
Always a fun place to rummage through. Great selections of used books. The action figure choices are alright, although they are over priced, but still fun to look through. Staff has almost always been very pleasant and easy to deal with. My biggest gripe would have to be the lack of plus sized shirts.
Always a wonderful experience. The vendors, every single human being is amazing in there. You find such amazing deals, and everyone will work with you on price.
Went with grandchildren and great grandchildren,I love to browse all the great things they have as well as a great selection of books. Come check it out
I moved away from Jacksonville more than 3 years ago and I still reminisce going to this store to shop. Nothing around NYC matches this place. You just enter and all the comics, games, novelty items, BOOKS just bring you in and not let you want to leave. It’s a great time. Highly recommend coming here for pop culture stuff. The majority of the items are second hand but for the most part in good conditions. The staff here is fun and easy to talk to. A 💎 in Jacksonville hands down.
I really like this place. They have a large amount of books for discounted prices. Also, the display in the back is made with real books which is awesome!
PLEASE CLEAN WHATEVER YOU BUY:Was there yesterday and got an original Xbox, works great, controller doesnt work right but for me thats not a problem. HOWEVER: When the employee was getting the Xbox out of the class case, a COCKROACH ran right out from under it, so needless to say, I gave it a proper cleaning. I am not making this review low because I hate the store, far from it! I love going there whenever I get the chance, but Im giving my review a low rating because I want to warn people that IF you buy a console, or anything really PLEASE clean it properly, if there was one cockroach, there are BOUND to be many more. The health risk is real folks!
If I could put 0 stars I would. I usually love this store, but today I went in and witnessed what I believe is the manager of the store screaming and being extremely rude to an associate of the store. I will not being going back, or supporting a store that lets their management treat their employees like this. everyone is struggling to keep employees, and this is how you choose to treat them? disgusting?
I love this place!! Has everything from books, journals, shirts, posters. I go here to get all my journals and incense. Friendly staff as well.
I went into the store at about 6:05pm on Sunday, multiple employees saw me walk in with a large box of books and unload them in to 2 containers for the book buy back. After unloading them all and taking them to the buy back counter, a employee told me the buy back closed at 6pm. I would have appreciated someone simply walking up to me or yelling to me that the buy back was closed when I walked in or started to unload all my books as it would have saved me about 10 minutes of my life. Rather inconsiderate on the employees parts who just stood there and watched me and then waited for me to walk up to them.
Love 2nd & Charles, the prices are great, the staff is super help and friendly, the store is well organized and clean
Went in today to buy stitch in rocket was damaged only wanted to give me 10% off of it. Cashier informed me it has happened before and gave more than 10% on one before. Even if I was to do the 10% was still paying full price and it wasn’t even priced right
All stores are same no matter what town you are in. Good place for variety of items. Good store all around.
Excellent selection of new and used books and media. We were able to get a couple books and games for a reasonable price. I was surprised to see several niche items I usually dont find in other bookstores or thrift stores.
They have a huge selection of collectables! Great prices!
Love this place! Lots of good old books here.
I love this place. If you are into almost any kind of nerdom, this place is for you. Collectibles, retro games, board games and tabletop RPGs, vinyl records, CDs, manga, anime, blue-rays, DVDs. They always have some kind of clearance bins for of cool stuff. You can also trade in any of the things I listed above! Its a cool place to walk around and shop for a long time.
First while standing in line for 5 minutes waiting to check with one person ahead of me and two people checking out at the register. The cashier was talking to the customers checking out which is no big deal. It last for a little while, so my son and I decided to not purchase our books and went to Pet Warehouse. We were in the pet store for 15 minutes looking around and when we walked out of the pet store the customers that were at the check out were just walking out of the store. This occurred today July 16 at roughly between 6 and 630 p.m. this store is one of my favorites and i am disgusted by the cashiers lack of time management
If you like to read this is the place to go. Large selection of books. You like comic books they have them. Gaming they have what you need. Looking for movie posters or related things it here. And the people are great.
I went to this store in Jacksonville NC a few days ago. I asked the clerks in the customer service department where to find guitar books, and they were helpful. The selection was slim, but they had enough for what I needed. On the flip side... when I went to the counter to ring out the girl working didnt bother to speak to me, and I had to ask for my total.
I always love going here! The staff is always very helpful! They sell both new and used items, and have a variety of books, music, movies, comics, and electronics as well as novelty items.
Love love love this place. We always find great deals. If you love books you have to check it out.
Love this place. There are so many books available for a great price. Theres a nice variety of items too.
This place has good and affordable items
Lots of books, CDs, DVDs, and collectables. It was my 1st time selling items and the people behind the counter were not too friendly. They gave 25 cash for all the items they bought from me or store credit of 49 dollars.
I can get lost for hours in there.. even if I dont necessarily find what I might be looking for, I always find something. Always friendly and eager to help staff.
This is a really cool store. havent tried taking any of our things in to sell, but we always enjoy looking through everything they have in there.
Awesome store !! associate Delaney was one of the best helpers.
I dropped off new books and got more store credit of only 44$ cash would have been only 30 I had over 100 books not worth it
Great place for readers. Well organized.
Staff is always friendly & their buyback program is better than other stores in town.
Awesome place to shop for comics. Sign up for the text alerts for all the deals!
Great as always! Bring your own bag and plan on perusing awhile. This place is great for a wide variety of things. Books are just one item. Their manga selection and comic books are pretty good. Theyve got used andnnew movies, records, and more. Come here if you want to nerd out and love finding the perfect book!
A great place to find all kinds of fun hobby collectible items from Funko Pops, Comic Books, Statues and Action Figures, and even Books and Movies... theres actually even more but cant type it all and spoil the surprise for YOU!! Happy Shopping!!
I have spent hours upon hours in this place. It really seems to suck me in everytime I go by there. Great selection of comics.
Clean. Polite and helpful staff. Many new and used items at good prices.
Love this store! Always find more than I was looking for! Staff is friendly and helpful
I just looked at the racks outside. I didnt go in.
My boys love you guys
Awesome store, great staff lots of good merchandise for everyone in the family.
Best place to buy books.
They have a great selection of both new and second hand items. You never know what you might find there . Good selection of new and used vinyl!
Always new stock, helpful staff, good place to spend some time in!
I mean it’s a used bookstore. It’s acttually nice to have this available in this town in the first place but I gave it such a low review because you could go buy brand new books 10-20$ a piece and bring them here after reading and they’re in pristine condition and for quite a few books they will only give you 3-5$ roughly, for all of them. Then turn around and upsell them.
Has a little of alot of things.
This is the go to place. Unlike other stores they still keep everything in stock. Great place to find ALL TYPES OF CARD GAMES, Board games, and video games and consoles. Try this place out before Spencers and Amazon.
First time doing a trade/sell and was super easy. Great customer service!
They have cool stuff
I love this store. They have an amazing selection on used books at a great price as well as games, movies and lots of cool gift items for yourself or others. I highly recommend this place!!!
This is the place where books go to live again.
Amazing books and kids things.
Best selection of books
Great selection. great staff
We drive out of our way just to visit 2nd & Charles with the kids. Some books are expensive, but its not hard to find kids books for $2 and under. Theres also lots of unique board games and fun items. Love this store!
Its basically another Barnes and Nobles store. I went there to check out the blu ray movies and most of them were way overpriced and could find cheaper on Amazon or other stores brand new. Other than that they had some pretty cool stuff but its a bit pricey.
Good books! Great people! They have some cool odds and ends at the check out and they have a good stock of books!
Custoner service was horrible, was looking for a game system, asked the cashier where could i find it and she responds with its somewhere around here. So i asked can you point me in the direction it may be and she pointed at the game case. I walked over to see if i could find it . So i asked were they in stock and got a idk. I just said Thanks and left. Wont be returning, i work in retail and i would never treat a customer this way. Even on a bad day.
Warm, comfortable environment, perfect for a book worm. Affordable books for great deals, even a free bin! I think thats totally awesome! Plus they have toys and games for the little ones, music and instruments for the musicians, and movies and snacks for the movie goers. Huge selection to choose from. If you are looking for a gift, this might be the place to find it!
Not having the Blue Rays I was anticipated on.
The selection of everything is amazing. They have much more than books. Best place to get 🎁.
I love 2nd & Charles. Whenever I go visiting out of town and they have a 2nd & Charles store I have to go. The staff is always nice and welcoming. Thanks so much.
They didnt have any goldfish. BUT THEY HAD SNEWP DAWG REFRIGERATOR WTFFFFF.
Great place for vinyl, CDs, comic books, obviously books, you name it. I find myself here a lot and still havent even seen everything the store has to offer.
These stores usually have a nice selection but the prices and payouts are pretty off. Online retails are cheaper and it can be insulting when you get offered $2 for something ebay usually has for $50. Customer service and employee are friendly and nice but I dont see the company lasting for another 5 years.
There great just a bit pricey but love the store
Just dropped in to use the restroom would love to take the time and check it out more.
My favorite book store by far
Lots of cool stuff at low prices.
Good place to get books, music, electronics or collectables!
Horrible service all the way around .i hate to go somewhere they act like you bothering them
The books are usually in great condition. Plus they are very reasonably priced. We have bought so many books there. Also we had duplicates of other books so they bought them and we got credit. They will give you cash for your books, but its usually not very much at all. Thats why we take the credit cause its more.
For a used book store, they dont have many second-hand books, and it can be quite some time before they get in a book youre looking for. But considering their wide selection in everything from childrens books, to intermediate, to YA, to adult, to manga, and to religion, I find this the best book store in Jacksonville, second only to Barnes & Nobles. They even have a large comic book and graphic novel section, as well as quite a few tables and racks of merch from various sources. Their staff is friendly and always willing to help, although you should know that when I went last week, masks were required, so make sure you have one before you go in. :)
They always have the best prices. Last time I visited I got the entire maximum ride series for 25$. All in good condition. More than half of the books are used but the more worn they are, the cheaper the price. A book should be treated with respect no matter how it looks in my opinion. Love this place and will definitely be back again.
Nice store. Lots of books & 🎮.
Im from out of town and we always stop in this bookstore before we come back home. I was able to find my books with a little bit of help. The staff members are super friendly and knowledgeable of where to look for the material in question. The gentleman that helped me escorted me from one section to the next based from the author I told him I was searching for. Excellent customer service!!!
Great prices... Great selections.... very attentive and friendly staff.. you can find a great buy in every corner of the store
Love this store! Books, magazines, music, games, movies, action figures, toys, etc. Best bookstore in or around Jacksonville. I can spend all day here. A lot of the books have great prices due to them being used and the quality is there too. If youre a nerd ;) (like me), then plan on spending some time here. You can also trade in old books for cash or store credit. Its just of the greatness.
Huge selection of books, comics, DVDs, video games, tabletop games, and more. They have great deals and a very helpful staff, if they dont have something they can order it for you and depending on the item sometimes it can get there same day. Good pricing on used books as well.
Friendly staff, decent prices, good selection. The staff was friendly and helped me find a book I was looking for. The prices are about what you would pay on Amazon or eBay. Good selection of both old and newer books. A good place to spend a couple of hours. I only wish they had a coffee bar.
Great deals. Everything ranging from memorabilia, books, different types of games, and records.For book lovers they have free subscription-based off books you like and they will hold them.You may also do trade-ins for most items.Friendly staff, clean store, and overall good vibe.
Great book store
A great place to find older and second hand books. You will need extra time to spend in the store because not all are well organized. Especially hard to find things in the clearance section. Overall, a great story for some unusual finds. I reccomend you ask ahead if you have a specific book in mind.
My favorite book store Id rather get my books from here because they are affordable and are in excellent condition for being a used bookstore
Staff was rude. I asked what price they will pay for a PlayStation 4 and they refuse to answer unless I bring my PlayStation in. They would not even give me internal idea of what they give for PlayStations because they said the price changes everyday.
Great selection of books, movies, music, games, etc. I always find something here, the employees are very helpful and nice too.
This is a spacious location with a lot of variety of books, DVDs, comic books, graphic novels and oddities. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Great store.
Hit n miss depending on what you like to read. some items are still full price and your better off going to Barnes and Noble for some things.
Great place to find discounted books. Found a lot of books Ive been wanting to read for less than seven dollars. Havent traded any books in here but they take your used books and video games and give you cash for them. Overall had a great time searching for books and a great setup for books at a cheaper rate than the large bookstores.
Alot of books and fan merch, Not alot of game system or rare/popular games.
Love 2nd & Charles. A wide variety of new and used media, all genre. Decent buy back price also.
Lots of books and movies at good prices.... very friendly and helpful staff
Definitely felt this visit was one that would keep me from returning for a long time if ever. Not trying to take it personally but Ive only felt welcome a few times. Purchased some great stuff, but just dont feel like theyre worried about me coming back.
Great place for Funko Pops and Manga
A very nice place with something for everyone. The prices are reasonable and most everything is easy to find.
