We got a stack of books that look brand new for $23. SO pleased! Huge store and they had a great selection of childrens books. Highly recommend.

I decided to sell about 20 books, all books purchased brand new(gently used). I went through the whole ordeal of being entered into the system. Waited almost 3 hours for the associate to offer $11.00 in store credit and $7.00 cash. I understand not getting full price, but that quote is just insulting. On another note, its a nice place if you are looking for rare and used items. Very large variety of items.

Alot of great books, posters, records, novelty items, etc. Even for kids they have book bundles as low as $3. You can also donate books to them. I think they could use a spot or two to sit inside, but I know its a store to buy books not read them, lol.

Review №18

Friendly, professional and respectful. Went to sell back items, and received market value for the majority of items. Other items were unacceptable, so donated them to their free bin. Items they were selling despite being second hand, were of reasonable condition. I was impressed having this been my first visit to a 2nd & Charles.

People are friendly and helpful. A lot of great stuff: books, comic, albums, games, puzzles, themed swag, etc... Certainly something for everyone. An Enhanced Bookstore. Its a hit and miss on their card readers though. I think its time for replacements. We spent a bunch of time at checkout.

Cool place. Lots of books...games...records...cds...and even musical instruments. Wouldve been a 5 star rating but their vinyl prices are a little above the average.

Review №21

I went this Book store 2 days ago with my family and found that the Books here cost more than you can get from Amazon. I even showed the price to the cashier.. So guys pls check the price in internet before you pay more prices at this book store. If the store is only selling used books then the price should be cheaper than current market. I will never ever go to this store again. BE CAREFUL WHILE BUYING BOOKS HERE..

Review №26

Alot to select from. Website needs a search bar that would help at each store. I hate holding up others trying to see if they have a book in stock. A dedicated search kiosk would be a great idea for these stores as well. A lot of games and books to select from

If youre interested in LEGO. DO not shop here. Employees will not assist and were disrespectful talking about said customer while they were in the checkout line.

Review №31

There is a lot of neat stuff in the store. My biggest complaint though is the lack of a price on a lot of items. I have passed on many items because of this. Who wants to wait in the usually long line just to find out an item is over priced.

Review №32

Love 2nd and Charles. They have so much stuff from anime books and figurines to a ton of books at really affordable prices. Mainly older books not many new releases. They also have a wide variety of used games for Nintendo or playstation or xbox. But they also have a variety of board games too. Oh and dont forget older DVDs and even some stuffed animals and tshirts. Love this place.

Looking for books or something out of the ordinary... this is the place to come. Great employees always a smile and if you cant find something, ask and if they have it they will show you where it is.

Review №35

I dont know anything about what makes a book store objectively good, Im giving four stars because there are a lot of books and things in this place. The fifth star is not being awarded because being in here 10/10 times makes me feel sad and lonely. Its like sitting in an uncomfortable chair, weird vibes. 2nd and Charles has a dark secret, I can feel it in my bones.

Review №38

Love the store but the cashier Alivia made the experience awkward and complicated. She asked for my information which I assumed would just be used for my store account, but then proceeded to sign me up for a magazine subscription that would charge me every month without even telling me that it would start charging me. I asked if it would start charging me every month and only then did she tell me that it would. I then asked if she could go back and cancel it and she said no and just gave me a toll free phone number to do it myself. It was very frustrating to have to be on the phone for the next ten minutes trying to cancel a magazine subscription I never even wanted. On top of that, when I asked her to open a case to look at something, she just said no and paused for a long time, then laughed and said just kidding. Not a great attempt at humor.

Great place! kids love the lego box and employees are helpful. good variety of books, mangas, comics, DVDs etc. itd be nice if the video game section was a bit bigger but thats not a problem. like i said employees are extremely helpful, there have been times where Ive looked up and down of every isle and still not found the book i was looking for, so i asked for help and they looked up to see if they had it and if they do they will show you exactly where it is 😃

Review №42

My experience was okay. When deciding to sell a book you have to go through a long and tedious process. Which includes proving a drivers license, height/weight, race/ethnicity, current photo of you, address and etc. It was just a lot just to get 1 dollar in store credit lol.

Loved the great selection of records, and they had a good number of old game systems too. If you consider yourself an old soul you will love this store. I was also surprised to see all the comic books, board games, and books they had on their shelves. This was my first time visiting 2nd & Charles, however, my wife and I will definitely be back, and shopping here for next Christmas!

This was my first time at 2nd & Charles. The store is very spacious. They have a lot of inventory. The have both new and used books. And they buy books as well, offering cash or store credit. There is a free bin as well. The clearance shelf for used books almost takes up the whole back wall. The books are decently organized. But even if you cant find what you are looking for the staff are very helpful and will go above and beyond to try and find it. They also sell video games, music and instruments. Its worth a visit.

Basically Q made us love this spot on our first visit and now we are addicted to the smell of rich mahogany and fine leather bound books. And vinyl. And all of the old video games and funny t-shirts too and good candy selection. My boyfriend like a to surprise me with old movies from here too. These photos arent great but i was half starved when I was there so deal. The last one is just a funny sticker I saw in their parking lot and I figured if youre looking to me for advice on buying books, youre the kind of person who might love unintentional humor.

⚠Spoiler⚠: Trade-ins WILL leave you feeling ripped off, but this is how its always been in bookselling. Its not a 2nd &Charles problem.Great selection, friendly and helpful staff and a TON (maybe even two tons) of stuff you wouldnt find in the typical chain bookstore.8/10I would certainly recommend it. I especially like their selection of vinyl and CDs. It looks kinda stumpy but I can guarantee theres some real finds here!🤘They have a slight video game section but the table top and board game selection more than compensates. Which is EXCELLENT. If youre a fan of D&D, Chaoseum, Magic® the gathering(🤓) and the like; then this is a destination for you!Yes, they do have FREE 📚 (sometimes)

First time visiting off a reccommendation. Was out looking for a used chess book for my son whos shown some interest. Was amazed at the selection of used books and how cheap they sell for now. The selection of musical instruments, DVDs, and other knick knacks was pretty impressive as well. Only dissapointment was just how many employees (atleast 5+) up front sorting used books and waiting for someone to come to a register. I myself having never been there before offered to help 2 gentleman find something specific they had been looking for. Having someone with some experience walking around would definitely be more helpful and beneficial!

It was alot more spacious than I expected. I took my 13yr old with me, whom is an avid reader, and she instantly fell in love. I have a feeling we could have spent hours in there! And Im certain we will be back. She reads so quickly, so it makes sense for us to not buy brand new books and pay full price. Also, the text club for coupons was nice and quick, we finished registration at the cashier while checking out and used the 10% off right then!

Ab
Review №78

Staff was friendly, however, the store itself is a mess - on multiple levels. The amount they give the customer for trade-in books is unfair / dishonest. I understand profit margins, but they will literally offer you a few cents for the same used book theyre selling for $15-$20 on the shelf. On my last visit, I traded in roughly 60 books, most of them new or like new, with cover values of $15-$40, and I got $20 store credit...They COULD step it up, but theyre clearly not in it to treat the customer with any respect. I have traded at many used book shops, this one was by far the biggest rip-off. If you want to GIVE your books away, there are charities in the area who sell donated books to benefit the homeless - thats by far a better option in my book (pun unintended). The Coalition in Southern Pines is one example.Additionally, the whole store is in disarray, its unpleasant to browse through it. I was going to buy my sister a brand new book for Christmas, but the dust jacket was ripped to pieces and they didnt have another (really strange for a NEW book to be so banged up, but thats how books are treated here).2nd and Charles wants to give folks nothing for their books, so they can charge the next person retail to buy them...just keep that in mind if youre going there.

Second and charles is an interest place to go. They have a boat load of games, new books, old books, old records and more. It is like jumping back into the past. I dont usually give rave reviews to most places because most places are not that interesting at 66 years old it takes a lot to impress me. Go you will like what you see.

This place is incredible! The used books are in perfect condition and very reasonably priced. There are so many books, movies, music,etc.My only issue is that with such a huge store there should be someone on the floor helping customers find books etc.Otherwise,I was really pleased with the service the tellers provided.
