Its fun to shop here and see what things you can find at great prices. Atmosphere is relaxing, I can take my time to decide on things I like. Good selection of used movies as well as the mountains of books. And I love looking at the cute nerd stuff in the gifts area.
I really like this store. They have great selection of books and records and other items. The kids section is wonderful and encourages a love of reading.
Great to shop. Not great to sell.If you want affordable books, movies, games, or records, this is the best place in the area!If you have ANYTHING OF VALUE sell it online. I was offered $6.45 for a manga series that I sold on eBay for $200.00!!!Go there to get deals, not make them.
Excellent customer service. Theres a free bin outside for anyone. Imagine that! Wish they would give better prices on items sold but its still good to have a great place to unload a variety of stuff..
Great place to find used books at a great price!
Clean, friendly, huge and their selection is inexpensive. Their buying program is very fair. And I always find great (if slightly dirty) stuff in the free bin! This is the only store out there that makes brick and mortar seem preferable to online.
Very friendly and helpful. Took everything that I had and offered either cash or store credit. Thought it was fair. Very clean store, well organized and massive. They had a very wide selection of items.
CROOKS!They buy your items for pennies and sell them for dollars. WECYCLE is for the benefit of their own pocket. The store credit offer barely reaches 10% of what you paid earned money for.They are a prime example of why Jesus said, You have turned it into a den of thieves.
Absolutely amazing, they had dnd front and center, next to a insane lineup of pop figures, and classic video games next to that. Loved this store, will be returning frequently
Do you geek much? This is the place. Collectibles, vinyl, books, guitars..what a cool place. If your visiting the area dont forget to stop and check it out.
Always love going here. Even if its just to look around.
Huge with plenty of choices in books and Collections. Very comfortable vibe with toys and much more.
I absolutely love this store. Its a nerd and pop culture paradise and the kind of place you go to just to go to it. Not knowing you wanted something before you find it here is part of the magic. For example, my daughter is really into mine craft. And there on the shelf was a Minecraft lamp with the Minecraft Bee as the pull chain, the glow block as the lampshad, and the grass block as the base. Its now Pride of place in her bedroom, along with a toy guitar we also got here. All they need is a small coffee shop and you wont ever have to leave.
I love this place! Something for everyone. Books for all ages, games, puzzles, memorabilia, video games, movies and music! Many items are used so the prices are great. My only complaints are they are doing away with old wii games and that things can be a bit hard to find sometimes. (Prepare to browse!)
Fantastic place to shop or just look around. They have something for everyone and new items all the time. Extremely friendly staff. Whenever we are up in Richmond, we make sure to stop by! Highly recommend!
They have new and used items in the store. The prices are very fair. Love to take my kids there.
My aunt came to visit us from California and I was so excited to take her here, Im so happy she loved it. Great place with alot of things.
Always cool finds here and the staff is super friendly.
It’s like a treasure hunt every time you go there. You never know what they’re going to have second hand. The prices are typically very reasonable and when they have sales you can get stuff crazy cheap some times.The staff has always been helpful any time I’ve asked them, and they’re not pushy when you just want to be left alone to browse at your leisure.It’s worth a trip to hit both locations, this one and the other on south side, since the selection of books and games can be very different. Thank you for many a great read.
Great selection of books and they buy your old books so you can out your bookshelf. :)
Fun selection of books, comics, movies, music, games, toys, collectibles, etc. Theres also a clearance section in the back. There is a lot crammed into one place! Its easy to bring items in to sell for cash or store credit, just be sure to give the staff ample time to get to your submissions. This process can take a little time, but conveniently use your wait time to browse the store! Employees are friendly and the store is easy to navigate.
All sorts of fun, nerdy things and an always friendly staff.
Cool store....Thousands of books: new used; old to newer. Plus tons of collectables, DvDs, Music CDs, Games both Board and Game Console types....Plus a section of musical instruments and related equipment....
This store is a new favorite of mine. It has a large selection of books, comic, and movies at reduced prices. It has business, Christian, do it yourself books,fiction, science fiction, among many other subjects. I was amazed when I first walked in. I would definitely go back again. Furthermore, it is hard to miss since it is easy to see from the street.
They sell all kinds of used things, albums, books, comic books, CDs,action figures and music instruments, just to name a few. They sell new retail items too. Great customer service and friendly retail associates. They also buy used items, i.e.:albums, books, comics, CDs,action figures and music instruments,although their buying prices are a bit low,the store credit offered is about twice as much for same items. Store is clean and well stocked for a big box brick and mortar. Parent company is Books a Million.
Sometimes you can find a rare DVD for a good price but mostly they just sell ragged used items for the listed mint price of a new item. They dont know they are a used book and movie store they think they are a collectible store most of their inventory looks worse than a flea market just being honest I go there all the time to pick
Nice, large, alot of video games, comic books. A little bit nicer than a yard sale.
This place has it all an dive walked out with stacks of books for less than $30 the last two times Ive gone. I also lose my husband to the instrument and music area so were both happy.
I’m a huge book enthusiast, and recently came out to Richmond area. I LOVE THIS PLACE. It’s such a welcoming atmosphere, everything is labeled, everything is priced just right too. There’s books of all genres for any kind of mood; there’s movies, CDs, comics, anime (both manga books and the dvds and other formats), DVDs, kid section, funko pop section, records section, new pop culture section, everything.I had to limit myself to 5 books but I’m still very pleased I didn’t spend over $25 for ALL these books.Love it. If you’re a book goo-roo, or any kinda goo-roo really this is the place to be for sure.
Great place for books, Funk Pops, used games records, and other oddities at a good price.
Love this store. I can spend hours in it just looking around. It has everything. Not just books, but also records, toys, and bluetooth devices. Kids section is amazingly easy to navigate as well. Has something for everyone. Very affordable prices. If you havent checked it out yet you definitely should.
I would give it 5 stars but it was freezing in the store. Lots and lots of books and other unique stuff
Has everything a collector wants, but very disorganized. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.
Plenty, and I mean plenty, of books, cds, DVDs, games, guitars, mandolins, LPs, comics, etc., Etc., Etc.
Great place, helpful staff, huge collection of all things nerdy!
Its always been a great shopping experience for me at 2nd and Charles ! My only negative comment about them would be that I spend entirely too much time in there looking around..... Lol!👍👍
Nice selection, well organized and clean, good prices, and friendly staff.
This place really delivers the deals. Not so much on customer service (recently had a clerk openly check tiktok during our interaction) but I do so love a used book.
This place is for the nerd in all of us! Movies, books, games, comics... they have them AND their fan paraphernalia at decent prices. I can almost always find the perfect gift for someone here.
Quirky and fun. Never know what you might find. Books, albums, games and more. It is fun to explore!
A fantastic chain store that feels local! Every store having sections that are second hand focused gives each store a more unique selection.
New policy about new comics sucks because you have to know exactly what issues and series you want buy cant just browse anything new new smh🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
A store was so full of amazing products and books. As always I never walk out empty-handed. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Thank you!
Great place for used books, games, movies, and music. Their vinyl selection is ridiculously large and expansive.
Books & books & booksVintage gaming systems & gamesGuitarsVinylCDsBasically a huge store full of relegated materials for the nostalgic minded individual.....
Love 2nd % Charles. Lots to choose from.
As always the staff is helpful and very nice. I always leave with at least 5 books in my orange 2nd and Charles bag!!
Alot of gems in this store I love it.
They have some very cool stuff. Games, books, comics, magic, DnD stuff, video games, DVDs, etc. The prices are average though. Its not like going to a thrift store and paying a few bucks for a good find. This place is only for desirable items at average prices.
Sells same branded stuff as other retailers especially dwk items you can find cheaper at a truck stop.. and truck stops are always higher. Nothing special or spectacular. I found a tie advanced at chester hobby shop.. thats special.Over priced and limited special needs. Better off shopping at amazon.
This is a very interesting place to shop. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Shopping theres a lot of fun. Make sure you have plenty of time cuz theres lots of merchandise to check out.
Always have best deals and selection in town... Bought 5 movies got 5 free and found a vinyl I couldnt find anywhere else. Definitely recommend
Walked in for the first time and was overwhelmed with how much they had!Only spent a little time here because I was after one thing and it was laid out very well and the staff was very friendly
Great selection and very reasonable prices!!
Best new place for kids in reading age to encourage to be avid readers 👍👍
Unorganized and uninformed staff! Called in yesterday to see what time they opened and to be sure they would accept 15 boxes of books! Was told by a staff member that they opened at 9am. Drove across town to be greeted by a staff member waiting for the store to open at 9am. (He too thought they opened at 9:00am and had arrived for his shift.... When the staff member called the store manager to see where he was the manager told him he would be there between 5-30 minutes... when he arrived he was very unaccommodating and said they wouldn’t open until 11 today! And that 9:00 was holiday hours.... that started today.... I would recommend taking your business elsewhere with such poor management.
Great place. Great people!
They always have auch interesting things here since they take secondhand books and records.
A great source of 2nd hand books and more. Cant wait to get back there again, found some books Ive been looking for for years. Yeah!!!
This is a great place to visit and spend a few hours. You can lose yourself walking in all of the sections. The highlight of the trip was the detailed organization of the DVD section; it is very helpful to find a variety of used DVDs. The Lego per ounce table was also great for a little child. Thanks again for a few free books and in the bin in the front of the store.
Absolutely love this store. Yes, some items are overpriced but the atmosphere and customer service cant be beat. You can also use coupon codes to help ease the prices a bit. Ive never walked in and not walked out without something because its so hard to resist! I especially love finding used action figures, Funko Pop, and books in here.
Nor a bad store wish they had more Superman stuff
If you are looking for books, good luck. Theres seems to be no system, Dewey would have a breakdown.
This place always has the best products that make my bookworm and nerdy heart happy. If you love books, collectors items, comics, records, anything gaming, music or movies. This place has it all! And since its a consignment store they are at much lower prices than anywhere else. Youve gotta check them out!
Always a good selection and a wide variety of new and used products. Staff is super helpful if you need to find or order a specific book.
I just had a really unpleasant customer service experience with this place. They wouldn’t honor a valid gift card for us today because of their policy. They were snide about it. Definitely won’t shop here again.
This particular store was huge and has so many varieties of books and cups and games
The staff is so nice friendly and helpful.. they always have great selections on books and DVDs
Had my first visit here today. I have a feeling Ill spending a lot of time and money here.
Give the one star is is way too much! This location is absolutely awful! The employees are just there for a paycheck, they know absolutely nothing and the manager tonight was the absolute worst! Will never shop here again! The store was dirty, and no covid 19 precautions were being taken!
Cool place. Well organized lots of stuff.
Has a ton of books, movies, collectibles, and more! Plenty of great deals too. Will buy used books, dvds, cds, etc as well.
So much to look at, a really dope place to shop and look around
This store is truly amazing. Its my zen place, lol. Whatever you want, as far as entertainment goes, they have it. Movies (DVD & Blu Ray), music (cds and vinyl), video games (all consoles are covered), and books. New and used. Also has a variety of board games, puzzles, and card games. Tons of pop culture memorabilia can be found around the store as well. Just an awesome place.
They have a lot of cool stuff, used and new, used stuff usually in good condition. They usually have free or super cheap books etc out front. I cant help but leave with books on every different topic. Prices usually good/moderate, can be variable depending on what the items are and when they became part of inventory. I dont typically have much interaction with staff, usually just at checkout, and theyre usually friendly enough. Nobody hounds you while youre looking around.
A really good book store, a very large selection of books covering many, many topics. professional and helpful staff.
Really great deals and a great value for those of us needing that textile paper flipping in our hand!
Super cool store with more than just books! They have new and 2nd hand manga, instruments and even records. Totally worth checking out
Best prices on DVDs
So glad to have found this great second hand book store that is more than a book store. My kid calls it nerd heaven 😁 books, toys, movies, games. Best of all, I can sell back my books, games, and movies. Its awesome!
So much to look at! Great selection of every kind of book you could want, with fun nerdy/geeky fandom based toys and collectibles. Lots of used records and games, this is a good spot to resell Books, CDs, DVDs, Bluray, game consoles and games (board and video) collectibles, funko pops, and much more.
Best place ever
2nd & Charles is one of my favorite places to shop, and I end up going at least once a month for little gifts for my friends or movies when I feel like I need more.The staff here is always super friendly and they are always helpful. I have always liked the cleanliness and the setup of the store.They have a free bin outside that’s always fun to look through to find anything that might stick out. Definitely worth the stop for all things movies, cds, records, and of course, books. I have found so many fun things for friends like Super Mario, Disney, Sonic, and others.
Overpriced used games I just buy cheap gc controllers in a pinch
Great selection of used games
The store was magnificent. From old classic movies to current block busters, this store has friendly, knowledgeable staff and is a diamond in the rough
A weekly stop, aleays find something
Great place.
Fun place to shop for books, records, and other neat stuff!
Some much cool stuff and great deals on used books
