This store has great deals with a huge selection. It’s a little overwhelming with how many books there are to look through. My only complaint would be the thriller books need to be in their own section separate from general fiction.

Great place. Some of their Blu rays and seasons of shows are a bit overpriced but not too far off of eBay. Bargain hunting days may be behind us :(

I love going to this store to shop, especially for board games. They tend to be overpriced but occasionally you will find a really good price (especially with their clearance room). Going to sell to them however is super disappointing. They give you quarters for books/puzzles.

Good selection of products overall. When it comes to their books, I believe them to be fairly priced for the most part. My main issue with this place, however, is their pricing on all other media they carry, namely video games. They are charging extreme prices on gaming items/consoles/etc, far more expensive than the actual market price. Be patient, do your research. I see so many items in here with price tags anywhere from $50-$100+ higher than other local shops or eBay. PriceCharting.com will be your best friend to make sure you’re not getting taken advantage of. GameSwap down the road is a way better choice for retro gaming needs. Just the other day, I found a N64 console for $75 at GameSwap, and the same model at 2nd & Charles for $175, no difference between them. Not additional box, controllers or anything. Just 2&C charging way more than they should be. Don’t get taken advantage of!

Great selection of books, CDs (new & used), and even Vinyl records. If you need any books or music, or if you’d just like to browse around their large selection, I recommend this place. They also have a pretty solid selection of musical instruments.
