2nd & Charles – Buy Sell Trade

I would not expect to find the VAST array of toys, video games, t-​shirts and music. They also pay more for used items than others

This is one of my favorite stops to buy collectibles and used gaming merch. I’m surprised at the reviews here because I’ve never experienced poor attitudes from employees and they always seem helpful. I even had a gentleman go into detail on how to use a gaming peripheral that I purchased and didn’t even ask him to. The prices are good and there is a ton to look at. A great place for any gaming, film, comic or music geek. My only complaint is that the selection of used merch doesn’t change too often, but that only happens if folks aren’t selling.

This place is a dump. It looks like someone raided half price books dumpsters and sold them to 2^nd and Nowhere. This place is only around because of existing room on books & co’s old lease! Do us a favor and leave!

A horrible place to sell, buy and just plain old nasty attitude among the slow poke employees loafing around. I kn ow good help is hard to find and I am an even more firm believer in that after visiting this rip off shack today. Don’t waste your time. Amazon has 99.9% of the items for less money and you don’t have to put up with the rudeness this place projects. I will never enter this poorly run pawn shop again and hope Kettering City counsel runs them out. Probably wont need to, they will run themselves out before too long.

I stumbled upon 2^nd & Charles, a little bookstore, while grocery shopping. I really wanted to like this place because bookstores are my thing. While at the shopping center, I noticed the pristine, shiny book covers shining through the glass. And, the store looked busy, so I decided to check it out.
They sell new and used books. They also offer trade-​ins. Basically, if you’re an avid reader of popular fiction, this is the best place for you. The price points are slightly below retail sticker price, so it’s about the same price after sales tax.
I happily discovered some intriguing British classics and Thai art history, but I wasn’t impressed by the overall store set-​up. To find anything, I had to flip through books in cardboard boxes. And, most of the time, book titles weren’t organized alphabetically on the shelves; the new and used were placed in the same box. Oh, the staff just looked like they wanted to be somewhere else. I guess it’s not always happening at the buy-​sell-​trade bookstore. I like and appreciate the concept. Maybe there’s another time, if ever.

2^nd and charles is the little cousin of Books & Company. Thankfully for them the staff doesn’t have the same attitude as the associates at Books & Company.
I enjoy going through their «new to you» books, movies and music. Also, i’ve actually found some pretty good steals while browsing their FREE selections out front.
I don’t make a point to go here, but when i’m at Trader Joes I always make a trip over.

A nice blend of used books, music, & video games w/​helpful staff.
Stay and browse a while.
