Reviews of 2nd & Charles
Vanessa Irene
I like that this store offers a variety of books and things, from Naruto plushies to Harry Potter mugs to mangas to jigsaw puzzles and vinyls. They also have an area for kid's books and to buy back books, which is super cool. It was so much fun going round and seeing what was available. I'd definitely visit here more often.
Carrissa Poole
Best. Store. Ever. SO much variety of fun things. There's something for everyone here. Hands down, the most diverse store around.
Daniel Campbell
This store has the biggest stock of everything! They have books, films, toys, gadgets, you name it! People bring in stuff for the store to sell so the store has obscure books and films at great prices! If it is the holidays this place is a must as there are so many possible presents.
5/5
Douglas Stout
Really liked this place. Huge store with incredible selection of new and used books and other assorted media. The store also sells a nice selection of toys, games, collectibles, and even guitars. An area toward the front left of the store is devoted to buying customer items for store resale. I enjoyed this fun place and will definitely be back.
Jaquie Sparks
I love everything about this place. Need to find a quick gift? Go here. Need to get lost in books for hours? Go here. The staff is always super friendly. I get the text messages which include discounts. New and used books and items make this a prefect place to spend time.
Juliana Smith
They do buy your old books, movies etc. but Im not sure its worth it. You get more if you take store credit over cash. The used items seem over priced to me. The employees are helpful and friendly. There is lots of stock and the place is well organized and signage is plentiful to find what you need.
Cody Imel
The store was really cool and had lots of neat things. Some hobby type stuff D&D, Funko Pops, things like that. My wife and I were there to look at their vinyl records and unfortunately they were all out of order and not in the right categories. Also, thought their prices were kind of high for used records. Even the new records were around 27 to $35 which didn't seem worth it but to pay $10 to $15 or more for a used record seemed silly. Unfortunately, we left there empty-handed.
Thien Nguyen
Came here to scoop out. They have an extensive amount of manga selection. I like that they have options to sell books and other items for cash or store credit. Kids will probably utilize this option to pick up items here.
If you are looking for a place with a variety and up to date mangas, check out this place.
Ali Falahi
Really awesome place to shop for books, Manga, and odd pop cultures things. The staff is super nice and helpful. They have a big used movie collections for those who are still into it
Andrew Fortier
Really good second hand store. Usually find at least 1 thing here. Although they got rid of their 4K movie section and their rare/vintage book section seems to be getting smaller :(
Citlalli Rojas
Soo many good books. Some are used but the quality is brand new. I like that there's video games and instruments being sold as well. They've even got music CD's, movie DVD's, and vinyl records. Very cool store to shop or just pass time. Staff is super helpful too. Very kind and are just as excited about the books as you are.
Raven
Love this place, it's a great place to go for books, cd's, records, manga, etc. You can even trade in those stuff too if you are not using them and get store credit or get your money back
Austin Williams
I love this place! Great selection of books, movies, vintage games, nick naks. Just an all around fun store.
Lauren Madison
We love this store. Appreciate the bag free initiative and being able to find a ton of used books and movies.
Zachary Yockim
Great selection of books and even some recent you wouldn't expect. Found some nice surprises in their rpg section both old and new.
Rick Ellis
Tons of stuff, books, games, d&d, comics, cds, vinyl, you can take your stuff there and cash it in...people are super nice/cool...you should go!
Jamie Lynn
This store is perfect for finding creative gifts. I love the music section too!
Lydia M (LyraRakta)
By far one of my favorite stores. Their sales are great and I could spend hours here.
Jaleesa Collins
Definitely some good finds here! Wish I would have known about this place sooner! But they are well worth a visit. I only am giving 4 stars because the books we wanted to purchase used were all sold out of course!
Bonnie B
This is a great place to take old books, DVDs, and old gaming systems. You can also buy the old books, DVDs, and gaming stuff. Of course, it has a lot of new of the same stuff along with some fun stuff. You can buy vinyl records and turn tables to play them. Kinda neat!
Mark Hackenberg
I love this place great selection of video games and books and anime. I saw some people trading in some stuff and it seemed like they are pretty fair on their trades. They also have a good selection of music and movies. I highly recommend this place they have I think three locations in the metro area.
Savannah Staggs
2nd & Charles is a wonderful place! They have everything a second hand store could have. A large library, retro video game stuff, music and movies, and more! It's a wonderful place to let your inner geek out
Jackie Henson
Staff are friendly, but this is not the best 2nd and Charles store, especially considering a lot of their used stuff seems to be pretty disorganized. They have quite a bit of inventory, but their DVD collection is always a mess, and pricing seems to be all over the board. I've seen the same movie, same format, priced 3 different amounts. I've seen games and figurines that are over double what they're worth on Amazon or eBay. BUT I've also found some really good deals too. This place can be a mixed bag, just wish they were a bit more organized and consistent.
Angela McKinney
Always love shopping here. Found a great book and a great Oracle deck. The awesome staff held a book for me and it was so easy to pick up. Clean store and not crowded this evening.
Craig Gates
Cool store. Very large. Didn't have a lot of time to browse the used section as we arrived near closing. Sale boards/signs slightly misleading, pay attention to the price on the book.
Brittney Anderson
Place is amazing from books to movies comics of all kinds and games. For great price as you can see I got all those books buy 5 used books get 5 free. I was thrilled with the deal. More a steal if u ask me. Some books were 2 bucks! And the staff is friendly and awesome
Shannon Austgen
The best when looking for those old hard to find movies and video games. Great selection good not great prices.
Nouhaila
Lauren helped me today, she was so so nice. Loved the vibe of the place because of her. Thank you Lauren for your customer service.
Christopher Scheffler
They had a great selection of used books, all shelved intuitively by subject and author name. I purchased 5 books for just over $43. What a deal! Don't go to chains like Barnes & Noble, look for gems like this instead. I highly recommend this book store for any thrifty bookworms wanting more books for their buck!
Roman Torres
They always have cool stuff here but they can over price simple things
watashiwakumodesu
While I really enjoy this store I try to only check it out every couple of months. I come here mainly for video games and as the years has passed their stock has seemed to gotten smaller and smaller. Any of the rarer and harder to find stuff always seems to be the same or just doesn't move as much. Despite all that I still enjoy this shop and while I may not always leave with something, the people I bring with me always seem to find something to take home. So do be sure to check it out if you haven't before.
Richard Roser
Awesome space for anyone who's into pop/nerd culture to find great deals and get an eyeful of interesting and fun objects. From action figures to movies, books, and video games. There really is something for everyone. A nice bonus was having a great interaction with the cashier on our way out who gabbed pleasantly with us about the blu-rays we were buying. Some problems to expect going in: Organization leaves a lot to be desired, especially in the movie section. Be prepared to spend a lot of time there looking through everything to make sure you didn't miss what you were looking for. The condition of the used books is also dodgy and in most cases is on par with what you can find at a thrift store, but unfortunately priced much higher. You can find good deals, but it takes some work on your part. At the end of the day, 2nd & Charles is a great place to shop if you have a lot of time and patience. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would, but the cashier's friendliness kept me from going the other way on it.
L.A. D.
Great place to shop for books, movies and music, they've got it all! It's such a great place to trade dvds or cds or books if you're out of space.
chena williams
The staff is so friendly and helpful in here, I always have a good experience and there is a huge variety of books to buy! Still a bit too expensive for a used book store, in my opinion, especially the manga, which used or not is set almost all at the standard new price.
Rainbow
Great selection and excellent customer service, especially kourtlin was extremely knowledgeable and helped me on my book selection!
Craig Goodwin
The non fiction section is only mildly organized, but the overall selection and prices are astounding. I can wander the aisles for hours and always walk out with an armful of books. Bring a bag, you'll need it.
Kathryn Springer
Always have great book deals. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Rilee Lake
This is a really good secondhand book store. Lots to choose from and pretty good prices. They also have board game, music, and video game sections as well.
Jaymie Brain
Always a great place for inexpensive books, and browsing, better if you are willing to browse and not looking for a specific title. They have special displays all over the place so I usually have to ask for help finding books if we want a certain title.
Sherry Marsh
I kept finding all sorts of treasures from books, games, puzzles, journals, t-shirts, etc. I have to go back.
Devin Bewley
What a great place to find all kinds of unusual gift items things to collect
Mark Herman
Great store to browse if you're into anime, pop-culture, movies/tv, etc. Don't see what you're looking for? Check it out next week, they'll have a ton of new stock.
*The lines can move extremely slow, which is a bummer.
Katie Belty
One of my favorite used bookstores to visit when I'm in Colorado. The store is well organized, has a wide book selection and friendly employees. They carry new books as well as used and other merchandise.
Tracy A
very cool place. They sell tons of stuff besides just books.I'm waiting now to see how much they'll give me for the books I brought in today.
Cat Colorado
I looooovvvveeee 2nd and Charles, all locations. I think I've been to them all. Lots of selections and a fun place to look around. Great prices.
Philip Servano
This store is like the ultimate treasure hunt, hidden gems throughout the store. You'll have just as much fun exploring the store seeing what they have on offer, and when you find what you're looking for it's a rewarding feeling to have.
Note: it's important to bring your own bag since this is a green store, meaning no plastic bags at checkout.
Seamus Rollins
Great spot, found some real good stuff in there, wish they had more vintage game consoles though. For those who don't know, they're a mix of a thrift store and a regular store so they have new and used items. The selection is better than a goodwill but the items will be priced more to what they are actually worth, so more likely to find something good, but if you do it won't be dirt cheap.
Djmaxx 47
This was an amazing place. I genuinely love how they have almost anything that you could want here. The staff are super friendly, the service is fast, and you should go here to buy your kid or friend a present.
Kayla S
Hands down one of the best books stores in Colorado. Not only for their amazing selection of books and other items, but for the amazing customer service they provide. They are also doing a toy drive this holiday season and the toys go DIRECTLY to the Ronald McDonald house. I can’t wait to get back in there and see what else they have for the holidays. Please go check them out for any records, toys, or books you need. A one stop shop for any adult nerd. 💙
Dominic Savage
It's a clean, quiet environment,with 1000's of options.
There are full price and discounted/ re-sold books.
The store almost shames Barnes and nobles for what it is. You can sell and trade as well. There also a lot of random accessories from Funko POP to Gameboy games.
So stop by if you're into a massive variety of stuff.
Lilo Santos
This place is a Dreamland for collectors! Tons of books and movies. Great selection of video games from all decades. The staff is helpful and trades service is pretty good too! Would recommend for sure!
Pauline Bueno
This store is so great!! The staff is super friendly and will go out of their way and walk you over to the section/item you are looking for. The only thing I would like is to have places to sit and skim thru my selection but I do also understand we are still living in a pandemic and maybe that's why there is not sitting areas?? Either way I will always be a customer of this location. Keep up the awesome work everyone.
Kira Paskins
The selection was amazing. The sheer number of different collectibles here made me upset that I don't have one of these closer to home! The staff were also super kind and helpful, assisting us on THREE different occasions to look up stuff in their system.
Sarah Kallsen
Have been coming here for years! Great deals on used kids and adult books, along with dvd's, cd's, albums, and tons of eclectic gifts! Fun place to browse and shop! Typically friendly staff as well.
Ren Sheahan
They always have a great selection for everything and have the best prices! My absolute favorite place to buy books and movies
Malina Patane
Love this store!! It is dangerous (to my checkbook 😉) but fun to wander the aisles and find books from childhood, or recommendations from BookTok. They also have great sales and coupons that you can use. Will go back again and again!! …
Joshua Foltz
Fun place to get new and used books media and games
Patrick Lives Persona
Like the amazing variety. The only issue is the Video are scratched. I asked if they can fix, buff it. They said that they can't. Bad experience.
Heather Abrego
Amazing little find, my fiance just started getting into vinyl great selection fun store reminds me of Newberry comics back in Massachusetts.
James McRae
Has so many things. Got lost looking for books and someone was more than happy to show me around and how their map works.
ArrowNate
The store has quite a mix of products and gift ideas...so long as you're not looking for sporting goods or outdoor rec stuff. There are new items, but much of it is second-hand. I don't go there all the time, but I actually love the place. They're pretty organized but it's not a glitzy shop. The location is pretty convenient if you live in east Metro and there is plenty of parking.
Imani Lige
Organized and Friendly staff!
Love all the deals you get through text messaging!
Charles Thomas
Great selection of everything! They were having a sale like buy 4 and get 4 free on comics, movies, and some books. Good plan to rotate inventory! We can always find a hidden gem or 2 while we're there so it's worth taking the time to look around.
Phillip T
I would give this store 5 stars but they've turned me down so many times for trade ins because they are to backed up and not enough coverage. Yall should pay better so you have employees to serve customers.
Brittany Dixon
I love this place!! The hours are AMAZING, PRICES UNBEATABLE, They have every TV show and movie I could possibly think of. Employees are always friendly and for the most part I've never experienced colorism in thus establishment and got the area that's saying ALOT!!!! The amount of spiritual and Tarot stuff they have to offer is amazing!! I highly reccomend!! Even to just chill and read books!!
Chris Bailey
Tons of books and nick-knacks. Also games, cds, record albums, and a small area for a few musical instruments. It's very easy to go in with a purchase in mind and walk out with nothing but impulse buys. Great place to buy a gift, or something for yourself that you didn't realize you needed so badly.
Kristina Lopez
So much to look through! From music, comics, games, books and more, I can easily spend way more time than I need to in this store. You can buy new and used. Bring your own bag or buy one of theirs, but they don't bag at the register.
Matt Bernier
I have turned quite a few items in to 2&C. The people are always super nice, happy to explain things, and happy to help find things you need. If you're looking for pokemon cards, you gotta catch them (lol) just at the right time, bc they don't get many and they go fast.
Otto Allen
Lotst of amazing deals on great items. The organization could use some work
Daze With
This place is so cool. Used books, used CD's, games. This place has Alot of stuff. Go here if you are looking for something offbeat as a gift. I am sure you will find something!!
Janessa Charitable -Nessa
This place is nerd heaven and has something for everyone. The book selection is huge and you get a lot for your buck! They have a good video game selection and tons of figures and little "I think I need this" items. This is one of my all time favorite places to go.
Snaychel Maurice
Love the store part but bringing in items to sell isn't worth the hassle. They offer so little that it's not worth it. Next time I have books to get rid of I'll donate them--much faster and just about as profitable, lol. 5 stars for the store, 2 for the buy back.
Keebler Miller :b
Love going in here!! They have just s little bit of everything! Some things are priced normal, over priced, and under priced. Just have to find what you're looking for. Everything from Atari games, books, pop vinyls, vinyl records, puzzles.. etc. They have such a wide variety of items it's hard to walk away with just one! From horror to anime to arts and crafts books. They have it all!
JDL JDL
Really good for funko pops, used books and movies. Really fair with trade ins. I highly recommend this place. It is a bit out of the way but completely worth the trip!
Dr. David Johnson PhD
Store was clean and lots of clearance and sales tables and the staff is helpful and friendly. However the book stacks/shelves are not kept organized and sections like History are too broad and not very subdivided.
Jack Sewell
Yes it's a very nice business full of books CDs records video games very unique place and everyone was friendly that I talked to
Melissa Flickinger
I love shopping here for used books. They always have a huge selection and it's organized very well. I enjoy looking thru their other sections as well. Great place to shop for gifts.
Carl Thompson
This is an awesome store. First time I had been in a 2 & C. So much selection, great space, and a great variety media (print, movies, musis), etc. I ended up buying two used books. Looking forward to visiting again.
chris collins
Great selection of almost everything you could want. Lps, dvds, books, games, video games , musical instruments, t-shirts and much much more. Prices are reasonable. If your going to sell to them they don't give much in my experience but a stellar place to go for a variety of great stuff!
peter perez
Nice place, offers used and new books, CDs, records, comics, manga, toys and video games (and a huge amount of Funko). Fun even if you just want to browse around.
Michael Perez
Customer service is normally non existent and if it is it definitely isn't helpful or kind. The CD's and vinyl are why I come here and they are constantly in dissaray. They need alot more organization for their offerings and accountability for their employees that actually deal with the general public. There have been several occasions where employees have snubbed me off and have been downright rude. Instead of pushing those ridiculous magazines, why not teach them to upsell a membership where we can actually earn points towards rewards rather than sporadic sales texts that happen the day of which normally people who work cannot attend.
Nykey Wanor
This is a very neat store. There is something for everyone. I love that they sells games old and new and their huge selection of movies. My husband and I both love coming here just to look and we almost aways find something we can't leave without.
Cynthia Cook
This is such a fun store! You never know what you will find. They have books, movies, action figures, instruments, T-shirts, video games, board games (new and retro) who knows!!! I really love this spot!!! Be sure to try to see the whole store. It's full of hidden surprises!
JK BULLOCK
This place is AWESOME. I found books that i have been looking for a very long time. So organized..i had help from a great young lady. Check it out, they dont just have books.
Ashley Huddlestun
Amazing things to be found from my childhood here, a must see place!
Antoinette Major
Love this place! So many things to look at and browse through. I want to buy SO MANY things every time I’m there, but since I can’t, there’s always a reason to return.
Cozy, cool, clean and organized.
This is a great place to spend alone time or time when you just want to relax and browse…
Cool stuff, something for everyone.
Terra Walker
I love shopping here, and never leave empty handed.
Craig Petzinger
Great store. Broad arrangement of gifts.
Callie Cuff
I could get lost in this store for hours—and I mean that in the best way. Such a wonderful variety of books, albums, movies and more! The staff is so nice and helpful. Each trip here is always an amazing one!
T R
What a store! Everything from movies, books, video games, and everything in between, this store has it all! Great, fair prices on all-things used as well. Fair prices on buy-backs too. And the customer service is consistently ALWAYS top-notch! I visit as often as I can; do yourself a favor and check this place out!
Thomas Cox
This place is awesome! It has almost anything you want.
Jackie Baros
I've seen these type of stores before and they have cool stuff. They also buy your merchandise, I just don't agree with what they offer...
I guess that kind of store good for certain people,,
shellie worsham
I discovered this place sort of by accident but I will be going back often. It doesn't look that big from outside but their used book section is about the size of a small library. They have games, movies, musical instruments. I could go on and on. Check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
FredDa K.
Awesome place to shop! Staff is always nice.
Chad Smith
Great selection of books, music, movies and games.
Meagan Woodward
My family and I love this store. There is something for everyone and I always come home with more movies than I intended.
Some areas that could use improvement -
1) Pricing is pretty inconsistent, even with the exact same item
2) Books can be difficult to navigate. They have everything broken down into sections and fiction makes sense, organized by author's last name, but some of the non-fiction seems to be organized by other methods that are neither clear or explained
3) Would appreciate a broader range of subjects in non-fiction books, specifically occult. There was an excess of Christian centered literature but little else. They had a table labeled Wiccan and Divination that contained mostly tarot decks and that was it
Overall it is a great store and I always look forward to visiting
Kellie Callihan
Tons of things to look at here. Sometimes you can find a great deal. Tons of comics if you're into the already saturated market. Not really sure if you can pick up rarities because I don't collect them anymore. They used to have a lot more games but recently their game shelves have been taken over by Pops figures. I always love looking at the clearance stuff because I always find something I can't resist buying. The free bins aren't there anymore. That's a bummer. Picked up quite a few things there over the past couple of years.
Kendra Dinger (Lifewith4Daughters)
Fun place to find rare and unique gifts!
Gerald King
There are a few of these stores around Denver but this one is by far the best. Great selection in all departments, I have never not found the item I was looking for. Staff is knowledgeable about the items and where they might be found. I highly recommend this store when you are looking for a book or movie or even a record you might be looking for.
Kevin Matson
I like to go here for manga sometimes they have hard to find manga that’s used but in great condition at a great price. They also carry new releases. And just about anything else
Jon Straube
There's not a 2nd and Charles I've stepped into without finding something catching my eye. And now they've partnered with East coast Favorite of mine BaM(Bookd a Million) making it a great shopping experience for all.
Dakoit
Marshall and and the woman (didn’t get her name) made my day. I had left my wallet on a shelf and they actively searched for it and found it for me! Prevented me having a heart attack! This is the friendliest staffed and most awesome store in the Aurora area. I routinely come here and find gems. I urge anyone who wants to buy books, music, comics, video games to make this THE destination. Thank you guys!!!
Kat L
This place is great! The prices are very affordable and second hand items can be a real jewel of a find with autographed copies or titles I havent seen in a really long time and really loved. Love the comic book, funko, and game slection. They have pretty much everything.
freya nova
I love this store. I wish there was one in Colorado Springs or Pueblo
Victoria Colling
Cassy was so friendly and helpful. She was extremely patient and helped me check DVDs for scratches before purchasing. She also helped me find books quickly!!
Olivia rang us up, and she was very nice as well.
This store is wonderful. Thank you ladies!!
Hank Casares
Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, awesome prices! Tons of merchandise, collectables, book, music.
Laura Ilg
Wonderful place to spend a morning or afternoon searching the shelves for sweet finds. Always new things (books, music, merch) to tickle just about anyones fancy.
Lauren was our cashier and a lovely lady. Super kind and personable.
Tracy Rhein
One of my favorite stores in Colorado. Tons of used games. I get a lot of old Playstation 1&2 games from here. They usually have some pretty good used console deals. I picked up a functional N64 with controller here a while back and it still works so they definitely have some good quality control before anything hits their shelves. To the best of my memory, I haven't had a single used game not work when purchased from here and I've got a decent library. Then the books. My word. Books for days. Be it manga, graphic novels, fiction, non fiction, or how to books, this place has full shelves of inexpensive literature with some timely classics all in at least fair condition or better. I'm a regular customer and will continue to be so.
Michael Winter
Awesome book store. Plenty of random things and a great kid's section that is reasonably priced
JC James (RainingThunder)
Employees were very helpful, but the books in the store were not ordered with much consistency (some by Title, some by Author), and it looked as though they had not reorganized the books in a while. Nice store and atmosphere, but they could work on organization.
Terrie Hanson
My go-to shop for vinyls in Aurora/Centennial! But seriously packed with lot and lots of fun; books, comics, toys, video games, movies, instruments....I could keep going! And don’t forget to check out the FREE bins out front, yes FREE and there are some good finds in there...for FREE!!!
Geoff Warner
Great store for used media! So hard to find used bookstores anymore. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. Selection of books is extensive with just about every genre of fiction and non-fiction available.
I wish they carried more new/used electronics but I'm a electronics junkie and wish the grocery stores carried more tech.
Missy Martin
Love this place, not just a place to take your trade ins but you can get a lot of things like the socks I'm wearing. Keep up the great job.
June
We always like going here and seeing all the new things they have in stock. You won't get much turning in things like books, and store credit is double the cash value, so there may be some slight rip-off for trade in, but it's not too bad. My biggest complaint is the organization with the books. It's very hard to find anything quickly, even with the handy aisle guide. All in all it's a nice place to visit and get some neat merch.
Corina Allen
I was very excited when I discovered this book store. I brought in enough books to fill 3 of their tubs. I ended getting maybe 1/3 back but for the rest they obit offered about $15 in cash or $28 in store credit. So they don't give you very much at all for your books. But they do have a ton of cool stuff not just books in the store. I definitely will go back to shop but I won't be bringing anymore books to sell there.
Heidi Boyce
I'm from Salt Lake City where the only used book store has been forced out to make room for more restaurants. I was thrilled to find 2nd & Charles! The place is huge, well-organized, and full of unique items. It's much more than a bookstore and well worth the time to stop. The employees were very nice as well.
Hildie Johnson
This place is AWESOME! The best used book selection (by far!), a fan-boy or -girl's dream come true, and they sell records, DVDs, and T-shirts, too! If you are looking for required reading books, shop here. Are you a fan of "Game of Thrones" or "Harry Potter"? Love "My Little Ponies," "Alice in Wonderland," "The Walking Dead"? Shop here for all of those in book form, movie-form, or as a toy. Do you just love used book stores or book stores in general? Shop here! They sell so much it's easy to spend an hour there and still not see it all! Everything is reasonably priced and a thrill to find. I would recommend this shop for all your book-loving needs. They truly are incredible!

I love used bookstores and I really wanted to love this place but it's kind of hard to love a bookstore when trying to find a particular book is like going through a maze. Beyond vague aisle names like "2A" and some very small signs at the ends of the aisles, it is difficult to tell what books are held within the aisles. It took me 15 minutes to find the Neil Gaiman books. They have a great selection of interesting odds and ends like N64 video games, anime plushies, and board games. They also have a dismal and rather repugnant CD section, which really should just be taken out entirely since it is comprised of obscure and random artists the majority aren't likely to know. I was initially dazzled by all the store appeared to offer but upon closer inspection, things were disorganized and hidden gems were few and far between. P.S. you must either use a reusable shopping bag or carry your items by hand.

If you are a true book lover this place is where you need to go. They have new and used books and to me it felt like I was walking into my dream of endless books. They also sell comic books, video games, and instruments. I thought this was a great little store. I'll definitely be back!
Angel
Knowledgeable staff. Decent prices. Great selection. Inventory changes regularly.
Staff was friendly and I found everything I was looking for. It's like shopping at Barnes and noble but with used books, friendlier staff and no feeling like I'm being judged or rushed.
Boring Gamer
Love it gotta visit every time I pass just to know what they've got
Mark scoutotter Pontius
Lots to explore. Huge selection of about half used and half new. Loved the unique games. Used books hard to figure out organization. Manga is well represented.
Buy-back not so impressive. Five beautiful Coffee Table books on orchids and quilts, $50-75 list price. Was offered $3 for the lot. Double that as store credit. I spent $1 for a nice bag to carry them back home.
Isabel Coppa
My favorite bookstore. The people are great, last time i went in i was checked on approximately 4 times. If you ever need help finding anything they will definitely be trying their best. They have a pretty good selection of books too.
Billy Coda
This place has everything and the staff went fully out of their way to help me find what I was looking for
Jason Lenk
Great place to grab a book or two and they have a good selection of fun electronic and board games.
Larry Trantham
Went there looking for 6 CD's with certain songs on them. Found 4 of the 6 which was great, so I don't have to go to Amazon. The people / employees I spoke to at 2nd and Charles were very helpful and friendly!!
Martin Waters
This place is great!!! I have been there many times. This time they did not have what I was looking for but the staff was so helpful and friendly as always. It is wonderful to have place where you can hold a book or find an actual cd.
Adam Boyce
One of the most extensive and well kept used bookstores I've ever visited. HUGE, diverse selection of graphic novels, manga, fiction, nonfiction, comics, children's books, DVDs/Blu-rays, and other gift and novelty items. This store is one of a kind, highly recommended
Corey Nook
We love this place. Great used products and lots of new ones as well. Give yourself enough time to really browse and you'll find lots of treasures. My son loves it too for video games, used books and pop figures.
Bryce A Elemond CAI,BAS
It had been awhile since I had been in and it was nice to go in and browse for something to read. I like this store and enjoyed looking around. The place was clean and had few employees ask me if I needed any assistance in finding a particular book.
D Evergreen
Don't go here with the expectation of finding exactly what you're looking for. But don't be surprised when you leave with lots of amazing finds anyway. Because it's a used bookstore, there is no guarantee that the book you're looking for will be in stock. But there is always a huge variety of books, gifts, clearance items, comics, and so many other fun things. This is my go-to bookstore for a quiet evening of browsing
Ashley D
Great used books store. Things are a bit scattered but if you have time to really look you will find some great books. They also have a great selection of pop culture items including a lot of Harry Potter paraphernalia.
Tiffany Lee
This place has so many cool things. If you are a collector of pop culture memorabilia, this is a great place to find them. Most items are brand new, but much cheaper than at other specialty stores.
Briana DeRock
One of my favorite places, they have a wide variety of vinyl records movies and various other things. It's a little disorganized but that doesn't bother me I kind of like the idea of having to dig to find the really cool stuff, the prices are amazing and totally worth a visit. The people who work there are very kind, highly recommended
Mya Martin-Glenn
This is a great place to get gently used kid's books at low prices. You do have to spend some time searching the shelves and you may not find a specific title you were looking for but you will find other good titles. They also have records, CDs, comics, and other random items. They do have new books as well.
Lawrence Hau
Basically an updated Barnes and Noble IMO. Not as much used stuff as the marketing would have you believe but a super wide selection of every type of media. Movies, cds, vinyl, toys, board games, video games, etc. chances are they have the thing you’re looking for. That said, not as easy to navigate or nearly as quiet as a Barnes and Noble. Don’t plan a relaxing book with a coffee here. Geared toward younger people but really neat stuff if you’re willing to look for it!
Leo PurpleFlower
Fun quirky bookstore that has a retro mod feel. Easy to blow $ and time here.
Todd Wardwell
I am a book nerd and comic collector so this place is awesome. They have books and gifts that are older and out of print. The stock changes every month. I have even found some awesome finds in the free baket out front of the store!
Kathryn Jurgens
Loved this place! The staff was friendly. It's pricey for some things but the used book deals are great!
Lydia M
I love this store!!!! My friend took me here and I will be returning many times in the future. They have a great selection and the staff is friendly. Bonus points for being plastic free.
Connie
This is like Barnes and Noble, but with mostly used books. They have new books, games and unopened items, too, and possibly the largest collection of new Harry Potter themed items for sale that I've seen outside of the Universal Studios Wizarding World shops. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I managed to sell a book of mine for store credit, but they also offer cash. I could probably spend a whole day there, geeking out, but I do wish they had an online catalog to look up inventory. Perhaps the trade-in guys have a database, but it would be helpful to have that on the website.
Luke W
It's a fun and surprisingly affordable store. Thousands and thousands of cheap books. Lots of cheap movies and CD's too. And when I say "cheap" I don't mean they're the type of movies and CD's that nobody has heard of, lots of well known products that would cost way more at any other store. Only a few things that I don't like. 1. When you walk into the store you are greated with an insanely strong scent that honestly has made me cough a few times. And 2. It can be very difficult to find things considering that there's so much. Specifically in the movie section, all the movies are supposed to be in alphabetical order yet they all get mixed up. Still love this store though.
Dawn Crews
There are always great deals going on! The employees are friendly and helpful!!! The selection is limited but it's still a great place for book, video, audio, anime and comics. Nice ambiance!
Adam B
Awesome 2nd hand store with Funko's,Board Games, Books, DVD's, Blu Rays and everything in-between.
Jonteray Cain
Some of their stuff is great. I walk out with a book 85% of the time. But some stuff is way over priced, especially board games. Sometime books and movies too. If I can get it cheaper on Amazon, its overpriced for this kind of store for sure.
happy
It has everything cds, books, Manga, vinyls, and the people working are super nice
Blake Sullivan
Great prices and selection as usual! One of the largest inventories of pop figurines I have seen anywhere around town! One day I will remember to take a picture for my review, but for the time being just go poke around, you won't be disappointed!
Crystal Taylor
Such a fun store, has tons of cool stuff! Could use more staff to help out with looking for things but I'll definitely be back!
Jon Grimes
You have to pay attention to what you are shopping for. Most of the used books are great deals, but be careful with the DVDs and Blu-rays. Many times the used ones can be found new and for less money on Amazon.
That said, you are more likely to find some hard to find movie or CD here, so it is definitely worth checking out.
There are also new books mixed in with the used ones so you need to make sure you grab the right one.
On the whole, I am glad this place is around, but I only go in once or twice a year. A large part of this is because of the very weird smell. Whatever scent they intentionally pipe in there gives me a massive headache. I thought most retailers were past that by now. I'm also not too thrilled that they don't offer bags for your purchase. I had forgotten that and when I asked for one the last time I was there I was told in a fairly smarmy voice, "we sell our bags."
Dani Ray
My son and I went here looking for a new Goosebumps book and found several to choose from. At checkout the cashier discussed Goosebumps with my son and made him feel very cool and grownup (he's a little guy) and I appreciated that :) It's a great store with tons of used and new books, toys, records, and games. I could spend a long time looking around here.
Tony G
This place is awesome it is a record store, a book store, Video store, comic book store, video game store, quirky gift store, you can even sell to them. I find unique CDs and DVD/Blu-ray. Get this they even have a Free area along with great discounts on used stuff. Along with new. It is a great place not weird or junky. Very clean, organized and fun to shop. This is like a hidden gem, you need to give it a look I highly recommend! Records is a newer area. Reminds me of the good ole record store but much better! They are big and there's something for everyone I guarantee.
Kat Diana Rogers
Literally has everything I never knew I needed. The books are incredible and cover just about anything you could ever think of. Lots of fan stuff, with a decent expansion of movies and tv shows. Could definitely spend a few hours here, weird but great atmosphere.
ion icwake
Books, vinyl, cd's, dvd's, blu-ray's collectables. This place is dangerous. Definitely go in with a budget in mind.
Chanel sedeno
If anyone has been to the East Coast, this store is very similar to BAM. There are tons of new and used books that are priced very well. You can find great deals and sales. The toys/collectibles are hit and miss some great deals and pricing, then some that are a bit pricey. I love this spot especially for books and will be coming back regularly.
James Brewster
Oh. My. Goodness. Do not go here if you like books and DVDs. The store was clean, presentable, and had tons of stuff at good prices. We went there to sell the stuff we didn't want and bought much more, all at bargain prices. Highly recommend a visit.
Devin Bewley
Great gifts can be found for all!
Tim D
Great place to but books for the low as well as really unique and unexpected gifts/finds. Very laid back and relaxed atmosphere. Carry all kinds of genres of books, music (including vinyl records), anime, games, electronic devices and collectible items! Dope selection, check it out sometime
Yashwin .T
Good stuff you can sell to them
Ryan Naus
What a great place! Books, Comics, toys, collectibles, video games, records, cd's, posters, stuffed animals. There is something for everyone here. It looks dull from outside but what a nice surprise. Highly regarded, and highly recommended. Can also trade in items too!!!
Jenn W
Oh my goodness I cannot believe I've taken so long to visit the store. I am the biggest nerd of them all when it comes to Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, etc. Their selection of Harry Potter paraphernalia is hands down the best I've seen other than the resort in Orlando itself. I will be returning and I will be purchasing much more
Kupok Natsu
THere is no better secondhand store. Staff is knowledgeable and skilled with research, ensuring a fair price for the goods you peddle on them. They take care of their goods and the goods are in great condition when purchased- Or at least, in a better condition then you should expect for the prices on things.
A great place for vintage electronics.
julia baker
Enjoyed my visit! Lots of good books. Staff was very helpful, kown store lay out.
Jesse Rockwell
I personally prefer 2nd and Charles over Barnes & Noble. I love coming to this store. They have a selection for everything that means my interest. From comic books and collectibles to conspiracy theory books. You can get it all here. I got some really cool tarot cards. Thanks guys
Michael Bean
This store is fun to just walk around in. Lots of cool stuff. Organized very well so easy to find something if you're looking for something specific. Good prices. They offer about what you'd expect for used stuff, but it's better than nothing! Staff are friendly. Store is clean.
Michele Tompkins
V random collection of books, new & used, comics, video games, bobble heads, music, movies, instruments and more. Prices are great on second hand books & staff are knowledgeable & friendly. Good place for gifts for all the fans in your life.
Ben Brown
If they would clean their restrooms, it would be a 5 star. Avoid that for now and enjoy the rest of the store.
Guitar Center, meets Twist & Shout, meets Spencer's, meets Barnes & Noble, meets Plato's Closet? Sounds like they can't focus, but truly it does all work together.
Great selection of vinyls and good place to stop in for a gift for just about anyone on your list. Now if i could just get them... Or really any store to offer gift wrapping year round then I would be set!
Christopher Larkins
By far my favorite store. I stop by once a week to see if there is something new to add to my various collections. The staff is always kind and helpful. I love this store! Video games, movies, cool t-shirts, comics, mangas, collectibles, books, instruments etc. What more could anyone want from an entertainment media-based store:)
Patrick Heuer
Favorite place for used and new books. I always find what I’m looking for here. Extremely large selection, and very friendly staff. They also have unique movie/book themed gifts and toys.
Rachel Devlin
Loved this store! We will be stopping again on our next visit to Colorado
Derek Webb
It is a great store if you have no idea what you are looking for, and could settle for something that you may not have heard of. But if you are looking for something specific it can be a nightmare, you may not be able to even find where it is supposed to be in the store to see if they have it. Then if they do and they have multiple copies you need to look carefully because odds are they are differently priced.
You also should have an idea of what the price is for the item that you want because you might be getting a good deal or it might be more expensive then from somewhere else.
TL;DR Good store for random finds or occasionally the thing you are looking for.
Donnie Patterson
Great store with a wide variety of products. Books, video games, movies, CD's, Vinyl, they have something for everyone. The staff were friendly and help point me in the direction of the book for which I was looking. Recommend stopping by if you are in the area.
Patrick Gaertner
Great place with an eccentric collection and a great staff.
Jon “SAHD” Beauchamp
Most of the people working there are super nice and helpful. The prices are pretty good on a lot of their invantory as well.
But recently their retro video game prices have gone up. It used to be if you found something there you were getting a hell of a deal, now you might as well be shopping Ebay for games though.
Lauryn Kenney
Like Barnes and Noble on crack, it's great for anybody. They have everything from classic video game consoles to incense sticks that truly do smell like soda pop. The books are an awesome added bonus to the sea of record players and hard-to-find Harry Potter merch. Go!
Andrew Willis
2nd & Charles has an amazing selection of everything pop culture. If your remember tradesmart and liked it you will like 2nd & Charles. They also have mystery boxes 50 CDs or DVDs for 30 dollars.
William Watson
2nc always has what I'm looking for. During the lock down their curbside pick up was a lifesaving (no pun intended) the girl delivering was awesome. The staff is always helpful, and polite. The prices are good, and they have the best funko's and record collection in town.
Esther Shufutinsky
Just love this place!!! Got one of my favorite new journals here along with a ton of movies and TV shows sets. I love the prices, and that you have a place to find old movies again. They have tons of new stuff too with a great anime section. And journals everywhere!!!
corey sexton
Nice selection of both new and used books and movies... The real gem was the fully intact used games section. I found a used Scrabble game for $30 that I could only find online for $60. Only complaint is it can be difficult to find books sometimes due to how their collection seems too shift so much.
L Gresham
Looking for duplicate books to accompany large group story time for our special needs students in Early Childhood.....found what I needed! The selection & variety are good, the sales associates are very helpful and the prices are great. Convenient to Parker. Great resource for all teachers & students. Check it out.
James Felts
Great used (and new) book store. Huge selection. They also have vinyl and CDs, instruments, some toys, used game systems, etc. In short, they have something for everyone.
Wendell Geary
Ginormous selection, well arranged. Missing an old favorite loaned to a lover in a former life? Come be reunited and restored to old joys for a reasonable price and no shipping complexity! Or find a new favorite....
mysti anders
Awesome store! Great place for unique gifts ! Amazing selection of movies,games, vinyls,music and more! You never know what your going to find ! Friendly and knowledgeable staff
Lana
Love this place. Last time I visited I got lost in the books for 3 hours. Love that you can trade in books/cd/dvd for cash or credit. Decent selection. Prices have increased recently but still good deals for used items.
Brandon Carnahan
Used and new books, video games & consoles, comics, memoriabla, t-shirts, movies, cds, etc. They will buy your used media if not already overly stocked in their inventory. They have it all, just worry about digital media putting this place out of business at some point in time. You won't be disappointed in this place.
Denver Klik
I enjoy the store, but beware the employees being told by corporate to slang magazine subscriptions. Stay away, the 3rd party mag company is trash!
Roger Danis
Incredible!!!! I will be back often....so many wonderful and rare things here!!! You have to see it to believe it!!!
Duncan Dexter
Great store had a couple hiccups though. My board game was missing a lot of pieces and imo they need a reality check on their vinyl prices
Jarred Harris
This place is pretty awesome! It's basically a nerd paradise. Comics, video games, board games, cds/vinyl, movies, toys, a ton of books, and a who bunch of other stuff. If you like collecting Funko Pops, this is a good place to find them. Plus, they also buy your stuff!
Briana Banks
A great place to get your new and used books! Also has movies and records and fandom stuff.
Anastasia Flanegin
I love the bookstore, you can get lost in it and it have mass variety of things. Video games, records and lot of books. New items at the front and used books in the test of the shop. I always check here first for any book that I may need before ordering online.
Lee Liley
Lots of different things at 2nd & Charles for everyone. I found an old album in pristine condition that was very reasonable for it's age and content. It was my first time going there, but it certainly won't be my last. Very surprised at the variety of gently used books and many other collectables.
andrew r
Always entertaining if you are browsing for books, movies, graphic novels and more. You never know what you will find and most items are reasonably priced. But they might want to double-check when making labels.
Cym Vargas Savio
I love coming here! I will drive out of my way to come here and just spend hours browsing. They have multiple comfy sitting areas to read and they have something for just about everyone here including: a musicians area, records, expansive movie section (including some titles for $1), comic books, graphic novels, new age, fiction, non-fiction, kids, inspirational, how to sections, video games, knick nacks, foreign or unique candies/snacks, and more! the staff is very friendly and they do trade ins and have a free section. Their prices are dependent on how many copies they have of a title so if you see a title you like look around at multiple copies of the same title and you may be able to find that title for a lower price!
Randolph Olds
I love this store. You can trade or sell your used books, CDs, DVDs, games and gaming devices. You can find the same type of media either new or used and so they have an eclectic collection to search through.
Guillermo Carrera
Some great deals can be found but some video game stuff is way overpriced.
Chase Goodin
The store was a bit disappointing honestly, 90% of their USED bluerays were $1to $4 more expensive then buying the blueray brand new from best buy, target, Walmart etc...???? decent to slim amout of toys, nice book selection, overpriced and mid to poor customer service, might be back by if I'm ever close but after going woukd never recommended someone to drive up there.
The Green Eyed Monster
Large selection of new and used books, gifts, movies, video games, music, instruments, clothing, and other fan related merchandise. Good location and parking. Friendly staff. Good prices on hard-to-find and unique items. Store also buys used cds, DVDs, books, videogames, and other miscellaneous items.
Cory Myers
Really cool store, pricing on used games is better then most used game stores, but finding what you after is another challenge. Last several visits the Xbox one selection was significantly smaller then the ps2 selection. Would have been a 5 star had I bought anything in the last three visits.
David Jacobson
Interesting collection, but my items sold (only if it's like new) were pretty low balled. Items for sale are pretty pricey outside of books. The free bin is a cool idea.
Nigel Brownjohn
Used book shop, and so much more. Helpful staff, well organized and well stocked store. Prices reasonable - mostly. Lots of other used stuff: movies, video games, records, collectibles, instruments ...
BryanThandi
Decent selection and can find good prices on used items here and there...kind of over the top process to check books they may potentially buy
Christina D
Great place to find new and used books. My child is young so it was great to buy used book that she will love but not worry if they get a little worn out. The selection is amazing. They really have anything and everything you can think of.
Jordan Brooks
I loved this place! I happened to walk in when they had a buy 3 get 3 sale. I walked out with 18 good books for $40. The only thing that kind of irritaed me was some of the shelfs were messy. I wasn't sure if they were moving stuff around but I went back a few days later and they were still messy. Over all this was the best store I went to while I was in Aurora. Wish we had this store in Phoenix!
Jared Mueller
Decent store has some weird policies though
Deplorable DeadHead
This is really the only media store we go to. We have traded countless video games and full consoles here. Great selection of movies and music too. Good vinyl section (might have to search, but I always walk out with an album I wasn't looking for and a band I was), of course BOOKS, and collectables. Cool store. I have even enjoyed a free book or video from the free bin.
Matthew Downen
This is one of the best places to get books and geeky stuff. They have a ton of unique and rare things!
Simply Brian
2nd & Charles is a good place to shop for Funko, comics and books. It has lots of Harry Potter and Star Wars merchandise to go along with a pretty good selection of Anime. Throw in some records and asst clothing and you've got yourself an interesting place to spend some money on things you dont really need but make you smile anyway.
Erin LaCount
Definitely one of my favorites, it reminds me of my favorite store when I was a kid: Media Play. It has a little bit of everything at great prices, and even though I love it for the used merch, I really love that it also has new stuff available. Is a great place to wander around, you never know what you'll find week to week.
Maeve Rawls
Love this place, I was expecting just books but they have comics, toys, even guitars! The staff were all really helpful also. I could spend my whole day here.
Daniel Noreen (AirChrysalis)
I wish they had a larger retro collection, but I understand that stock fluctuates on trade ins. Regardless, great store, always have amazing novelties and great manga selection!
Mariya Hill
This store has it all and more! The staff are amazing and always happy to answer questions or show you where something is.
Josh G
Love to browse around all the movies and Pop figures. It is easy to go in for nothing and end up leaving with many purchases. The staff is great and is always willing lend a helping hand when needed!
Nathaniel Kreeger
I thoroughly enjoy this store! My nerdy side can sigh and breath in books and comics and anime and musical instruments and music and all sorts of other media! This store is a second hand store but they excel at having up to date new merch for all your favorite shows, from the latest Rick and Morty and Game of Thrones seasons to classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and original in box action figures for Batman, Superman, Zelda, Barbies, etc... (i bought my first Barbie, a Galinda version from the original wizard of Oz for $20. The lowest i can find it being sold online, is $60. 👍)
Even if you are just bored this store is a pleasure walk, through a treasure trove of entertainment!
D Mike
Great place. Staff is mostly friendly and attentive. Much of what is in the store consists of cheap, Chinese imports. However, there is a large selection of quality goods, mostly in the way of trade-ins.
I can say that prices are well researched. Often, the store places the prices at or sometimes, slightly below ebay prices. This is a great thing as a consumer!
On top of that, I have dealt directly with 2nd and Charles to sell my publications. I was able to work directly with the managers and had the store buy my books outright, to display them in a, "local authors" section.
While I'm grateful that 2nd and Charles seems to run a reasonable business, I cannot imagine them continuing to do this or staying in business for long with their kind of overhead.
sarah Schaefer
Such an amazing store. I love coming here
Kevin King
Great service and a good selection of used books, and I love books! And comics too! A bit of a hipster vibe sometimes and normal people read books too.
Alexander Hollywood
Absolutely perfect store. Lots of choice. Great prices on used books and movies and very comfortable store environment.
Manus Terra
Awesome place, really fun for almost any kind of collectors. Comics, graphic novels, board games, video games old and new, toys, cds, vinyls, DVD/Blu-ray, decent anime stash, you name it. And of course, a better book store than most others around. Always check for a free book bin outside! I snagged LOTR+Hobbit box set from the free bin once!
Level Zero Hero
Staff was really helpful. The book selection is amazing. The instrument section is a little thin. The accessories are even thinner. But if you need guitar strings at 945 pm. Its the best.
Madison Dufour
One of my all time favorite book stores! They have everything, records, blu-ray, books, other merch. So cool!
Autumn Miller
The books were very disorganized (it seems like they couldn't make up their minds about sorting by title or author so you have to walk all over to find the correct book), and some of the staff don't seem to be too knowledgeable on books. I asked if they had "Little House on the Prairie" and the gentleman (very polite, by the way) had no idea who Laura Wilder was and tried to give me an entirely different book, but we didn't eventually find it after some searching. He was also very confused by the sorting I mentioned earlier. I also did find a few books that were obviously used (tattered pages, bent covers, well worn spines, etc.) that were being charged at regular price, which I am guessing was a small oversight.
Overall, a very decent selection and friendly, readily available staff.
Daniel
Place is awesome Way better than docs. Even tho it's nerd stuff AND a major chain. Y'all got great games and amazing customer service.
Jack Evans
This place us the best for if you like books and video games there are also lots of D&D things,Lego,Nintendo,and lits of manga this place is for everyone!
Pedro Quiroga
Fun store with lots of fan boy material! You can get everything from records and plush to comics and video games and movies. Decent reads as well
Graham Lanini
2nd & Charles is probably one of the best stores in the entire Arapahoe Crossing shopping center, and is easily a much better replacement than the 'Borders' store that previously occupied the space it's located in.
There's a great selection of just about anything you could imagine; Books, Comics, Mangas, CD's and Vinyls, Movies, and especially video games. All of it is priced pretty fairly too.
The staff here is real helpful as well, and they're usually really good at finding something specific I'm looking for or any other questions I may have.
Word of advice, if you're looking for games for any systems older than PS2/Xbox/GameCube, you may be better off looking at Game Force or Doc's Video Games, but otherwise the selection of games they have is honestly pretty stellar.
Cassandra Geske-Ross
My new favorite place in the world. I am a book-aholic and loved the prices of my favorite books here. i will make sure to return time and time again. they staff are amazing and the products are even better!
arturo perez
This place took me back to the good old days they have all sorts of flash back items in there. Anything from your favorite ps2 game to an old movie you used to watch as a child. The staff kinda stays out of your way in a good way.
Kimber
I always enjoy perusing their selections but it seems like this location has more new books than popular used books. I looked for several used titles and was disappointed to find they didn't have any of them in stock.
Dragona 72
The discounts they offer at times,for members aren't anything worth while (5% for $50 and 10% for $100) but their used book prices are good
Chris Peters
Unique assortment of pop culture through the years.
Lindsey Knapp
Awesome collection of new and used books, games and DVD'S that are reasonably priced. Just remember to bring your own bag or buy one there, they do not use plastic bags.
William Arbaugh
While it's no Hastings, but Hastings isn't even Hastings anymore, 2nd and Charles does an excellent job of delivering new and used media to the public. The comic section is excellent, and if you have an ancient video game system there is simply no better place in all of South Denver to find new games and peripherals. You may not find exactly what you're looking for, but you'll find something comparable to be sure.
Roy Cantu
Old-school hang out for books movies and electronics & lots of unexpected surprises. Great place to shop for gifts too. One recommendation they need sales people on the sales floor to assist customers.
Rehana Allsup
This place is a combination of half price books, Barnes, a comic store, Board game store and more!!! It's great.
Happy Bunch
Used books by the bundle!! Who could ask for more . Can't they just put a coffee shop inside, not Starbucks but something delicious.
Shannon O
My absolute favorite book store that helps fuel my reading addiction. Well organized and great prices. I can't seem to walk out with less than a handful of books each time.
Lyn Sheesley
Love this place! Records, books, movies, toys, games and hard to find stuff can be found here. It's like going through an old attic or treasure chest. A truly fun place to look and shop
Chris Hull
Love going here and looking through all the great priced used games, movies, and books!
Chase “Noodle Lou” W.
Really great selection of everything print, not even to mention their selection of music and games. All the better, most of it is used! Navigation is a bit difficult but otherwise great place.
Dan Andrews
Love this place and I find it hard to leave within an hour! Great selection but not great on customer service. They could use someone to roam the store and ask if they can be of service. Check out always seems to be even less attention to customers. I'm not sure I have ever seen anyone smile there.
Rae
For being the sort if shop this is it's my favorite place to stop by and look for books and games. To quality second hand goods, and excellent service from the staff. I always done something unique and interesting whenever I stop by.
Andrew Quillen
Great selection of books at decent prices. While 2nd offers decent deals on used books, their new books are not always competitively priced.
Cole Paterson
Always an awesome time at 2nd & Charles. Tons of nerdy stuff and all sorts of books and movies. Love going here and just walking arround to see what cool stuff they have
Amy Johnston
The store is huge and a little overwhelming. However, we ended up spending over 2 hours there and came away with armloads of books!
Steve Fling
Great selection of books, records, games, comics...media. Most of it priced reasonably. Just love browsing to see what I can find.
Bianca Hall
This is a great place to get kids books. Some of them are barely less than retail or Amazon, but with just a few minutes to look you can find great deals.
Christine Aultz
This is a cool bookstore with tons of used books and fun pop culture items for sale. Found a French language book for a reasonable price and some Harry Potter prints for my kids.
Jessica Raleigh
Favorite place for used books. Great selection, awesome prices, and they have coupons constantly which is a great perk!
Rezo
Cool store! Lots of interesting items. Minus two stars for the ridiculous prices they are trying to get away with. Especially the DVD's
maria natzel
Best new/used store with tons of books, games, things for collectors, animals, etc!! This is a place for the whole family!! Never walk out disappointed
Katrina Luna Martin
Beautiful store. Delightful mix of old and new books with memorabilia of all sorts. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Rachel Christensen
This place was amazing! They buy used books as well and had a huge selected of new books as well as clearance which is buy one get on free on Wednesday!
Thomas Ohlrogge
I enjoy their selection of used items, but their cash quotes for buying your used CDs are much lower than I expected. 42 CDs in very good condition netted me $14 dollars. That is an average of $0.33 cents a CD. The store credit would have been $30 or so, but I needed the cash. Unless you have absolutely no other option, go elsewhere (Ebay, Amazon, etc) to sell your used items. I appreciate that media devalues incredibly quick (never pay full price for music), but this was the lowest I've ever seen complete and well maintained items sell for.
Eric Graham
If there is a store embodiment of the old show "Freaks and Geeks" it's 2nd and Charles. It has books old and new, figurines, comics, cds, vinyls and more. The one thing I think every time I shop here is, I have to come here more often!
S. Zapata
just moved to colorado and was missing my fave secondhand bookstore. came here and was very pleased! lots of merch and trinkets to buy, along with the shelves and shelves of books and comics.
Jay A. Buerger - REALTOR Emeritus
Great supply of inventory. Megan was especially helpful in attempting to find a couple of movies. I look forward to visiting this store. Jay A. Buerger. Denver,. CO
Michael Udlock
Great store for whatever geekdom you identify with. Brought a box of books to sell and walked out with more. Something for everyone in my large family.
Paul Tauer
Fun place to explore and the people were very helpful. They dont take everything, and you wont make a fortune, but store credit isn't bad to find new books or videos
Tom Reeves
Courteous staff accepted old PS2 games, turned them into store credit used to purchase something new. A great store as well as a community service repurposing gently-used stuff.
Jeff Wheeler
Great store, great selection, although far too many sport video games. Overall one very cool place to shop and amazing prices.
Andre Jackson
There is a lot to like at 2nd and Charles. From books, new and used, movies, music and games. They will buy your old media and you can buy new or used items.
I wemt in looking for a paticuler book this time and had no way of knowing what section it was in. I asked a person behind the buy back counter and he was able toblookbit up and then find it for me. Great service.
I have Not sold anything to them yet but I have a garage full of books that I need to do something with. I will let you know how that goes.
Sierra Mangusso
One of the best book stores out there. I absolutely love this place. I always have a great experience with the staff and they always have great inventory!!
KnightofWU
I thought I'd lost 2nd & Charles forever when I left the southeast, but stopping in the store felt as great as always. The books are cost effective, and there's always a pretty sizable selection. I enjoyed stopping in!
S w
Excellent for the whole family. Toys,books, movies and more new and used.
Reese Lucky
Wide selection merchandise. Great deals on kid DVD's. We've purchased two replacements here, not disappointed.
Invalid
Tons of awesome stuff! Great prices, but most things are not marked correctly price wise, alot was on sale and had i known before checkout I would have bought more things.
Panda Girl
Friendly services! Find almost everything I'm looking for. Got some cool gear, like guitars and drums. Records if your a music lover like myself.
Sadie Colling
Many helpful and knowldegable staff memebers, we brought in a lot of books to sell but were only sell a few but they have a lot of stock so its completely understandable! Nevertheless very nice amd fast at evaluating our stuff and everything else we just donated!
Zachary Pedersen (Zachavelli)
They were amazing with customer service and their selection was great was able to find books I didn't know about and add them to my collection.
Mandy Natale
Always a pleasure roaming the stacks. Customer service is exceptional, friendly. The store is well organized.
Matisha v.1.8
I love this place almost to a fault but am extremely disappointed with their buyback offer. Expect to bring in 12 things of good condition and get offered a joke of an offer in return. Would NOT recommend trying to sell anything here but it's a GREAT place to shop for all things nerdy.
Tylor Ellis
One of the best places to find comic books, omnibuses, rpg books, collectibles, vinyl records, movies, and books. Not sure where to find some nerdy or geeky gifts? Second and Charles has got you covered.
Mike Graul
Wow, tons of cool stuff! Books, collectables, tshirts, toys...and more. Well worth the trip in just to look around. Dvd's, cd's, vinyl, comic books, just an amazing selection.
霊WinterMint
This place is nerd heaven I love coming here every month for new games/movies/books etc. it's always so calm and quiet in the store no matter the day of the week which is amazing as someone who has sensitive ears. It's a must go can't recommend it enough
Ellen McIntyre
I gave this business 3 stars, not because of the staff, who are friendly and polite, or their rapid system of checking book prices, or the amount of stuff, or range & quality of items they carry. All that is phenomenal!
The things that brought it down. They give you a truly laughable amount for your books, DVDS, LPs, etc. Leave them at home, unless you were going to take them to Goodwill anyway. Then you won't feel righteous indignation, as I did. Secondly, THERE IS NO PLACE TO SIT, except the back of the store! What?? No, you are a bookstore. People need to look at what you are buying. Even the LPs, and they have great, pristine vinyl, with intact liner notes, (drooling over one jam session w/ Carlos Santana, John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman--YES, I took it home with me!) I'm older, my body isn't up to speed, and I need to SIT DOWN. I have money. I want to spend it. In your store. If I'm in pain, I will leave. Your employees directing me to the back of the store does NOT HELP ME. I found a library stool thing the employees use and sat on that. Get a clue.
Jessica Kozik
One of my favorite stores! Staff is always super great! You can find just about anything from books to games to novelty items!
Rachael Bartholomew
This is one of my favorite places to shop for books and gifts. They always have unique and hard to fine items.

More than just books. They always have lots of interesting things to browse through and choose from. As you leave with your purchase, check out the free book bin
Rach
One of my favorite book stops. It's always fun going into 2nd & Charles and I always come out with something. Everyone is always friendly too!
Michelle Kelley
It's a odd mix of things.. like a thrift store meets gamestop and sanrio... ? Nerdy delights for all pretty reasonal prices And a good place to find records and eclectic books
Shantel J Palomo
Can always find something new and enjoyable to: read, listen to or watch.
Give yourself an hour or more to browse because there is so much to look at.
Jeremiah Weinhold
Great place to find older media of all types. Need an old Xbox 360 game they'll probably have it. Looking for an album on vinyl this is the place.
Joe Lights
This is a great place full of nostalgic things from vinyl, books and comics to DVDs of shows movies and Blu Ray's. Videogames, nicknacks, action figures. They have everything!
Cory Furst
Staff is very helpful. Can find books for all ages from all ages. They have instruments, movies, games, comics, collectibles, and music.
Amber Czerwinski
I need more horror items out!! Were getting closer to Halloween. I desperately need any freddy krueger stuff you can get. But not funco or other subpar replicas. Thanks sooooo much!!
kara marshall
Very bustling, and I always forget to bring my bag. Found great stocking stuffers for the kids!
Rebecca Dawn
Great selection of used books. They pay well for books in good condition. Staff is very helpful. Their wait list for books you're interested in is useless though.
Chris Lewis
Always find something for myself or my son! They always take everything we don't use anymore!
Mr Tony
Got a limited edition halo 2 and some other retro games great quality products it's like good will but gentrified 👀 …
Logan Sloan
The store is pretty nice, with a wide selection of comics and books. Lacking a little bit in regards to physical merchandise, but still a big fan.
Luz Fregoso
A little puzzling looking for DVD'S, but with the help of a staff member, she was very accommodating, very willing to help search for my items. Will always go to them first. Will recommend to all my friends.
Tj Lewis
Love this place. Novalty items, records, CDs, video games to comics can all be found here. Excellent prices for gently used items. Laid back atmosphere
Tyler Davis
Huge store with decent selection. The used comics are always a mess to look through. The used records are usually very poor quality and really expensive. Good service and friendly staff though.
Gary Butler
I was looking for a movie on DVD, (Kung Fu Hustle, it's awesome) I called to see if they had it and the lady who answered took the time to go look for it. She found it and set it behind the counter for me to pick up later that day.
Holy cow, the customer service here has always been wonderful. I will drive by other stores that may have what I want because I know I'll be treated well at 2nd & Charles.
Melissa Biehl
Great people and great things to look at. Lots of different things. From books to records to video games. Great place to shop for the holidays.
Blade Middleton (Addacus)
Great place has everything you could want from movies to books to music to games even comics. This place is awesome and has even better prices would recommend to anyone to stop by and check out.

One of the few nice places you can pick up real books both new and second hand in Denver. It is also very well organized and clean.
K. Beth Passwaters
This is my new favorite book store! Lots to choose from, friendly and helpful staff!

Love this second hand book store. I've found some of my favorite comics, and so much other awesome stuff! Love nerding out here
Heather Norman
Huge selection of used books and vinyl. But back process was super easy. Great place to spend an afternoon exploring!
chris wright
A great place for the odd gift. If you are into any form of media this is the place to go.
Nikki Nicole
First time coming here, my boyfriend really enjoyed the selection and vowed to come back after he got some birthday money.
Mallory Meverden
This place is awesome!! Used and new books, games, knick knacks and so much more. This is my new favorite place. I spent about an hour and a half here.
Marcus Johnson
I have yet to enter the store because of the free book bin out front. Based on it's contents however I can extrapolate the offerings from inside. I've had to call for a ride home as I had too many things to carry after perusing that bin for a while. Even CDs were brought home that night and recently I acquired volume 1 of Mark Twain's autobiography. The planet needs bookstores and humans need to frequent them more often than buying online.
Gary Stoodley
Great to see so many albums, cd's and comics in one place. Vinyl is on the high end pricewise but at keast they have it!
Susan Thompson
It's an awesome place to go to buy comics, books, records and other unique items. Make sure you come with lots of time for browsing and money to spend. - Susie

Superior to the one in Littleton. Organized, staff available for assistance and questions, and fun collectables. We go often and stay for hours.
Dave S
I shop here frequently for random goodies such as collectible funko pops or other pop culture items, the staff are always friendly and helpful and they have a decent selection of items to suit many needs
Leslie Ayres
2nd & Charles is our favorite place to go to find used movies and books! They have such a huge selection of books, movies, and music (CDs and records)! They even have instruments. We might not find exactly what we went there to find, but we always walk out with something. For book and movie lovers that can get dangerous, if you are trying to control your money spending.
Mark Bliton
This is a great retailer for new/used books and other quirky items.
David Mastroianna
What a fun store! I found four vintage books!
Joshua Colucci
I love 2nd and Charles! It's such an adventure to browse the shelves! Plus, they totally saved me when I realized I forget to get a white elephant gift!
Hope H
I love "second hand Charles" as my mom calls it I keep a list on my phone of things I need to look for there and some times I just go in to look. I refuse to go in broke cuz I always come out with some thing even if its only a dollar lol. Books from my childhood, movies, TV series, posters, records, video games, consels, pop figures, collectables. I was so upset in the beginning because they moved in where my heaven used to be... borders. But they have done a perfect job replacing them. They take trade ins too!
Tricia Gustin
This place is awesome!! Discounted books and music plus lots of other stuff. So fun!
Austin Carlholm
This place is always awesome super cool Hans of neat thing, gear, and memorabilia..... so I guess it's honestly a little sad to say the only thing the employees have time to do in their day is follow somebody around and act like they're undetectable lost prevention..
Jennifer Torrez
Great place to find books, comics, and movies you can't find anywhere else. Great staff and always a clean store.
NB6500

Surprisingly extensive collection of books that had me browsing for hours. Will definitely come back!
Jose Zuniga
Its a really good store but there is no pricing in alot of the items and makes it hard to browse around
Larry Armin
Cleaner and neater than many similar stores, always a good selection. I found a much better price for Ticket to Ride at Target, though.
Breanna Castrodale
Omg I just discovered this place and I'm addicted. I wish I would have found it sooner. You'll want everything in the store. Also, great place for gifts :)
Ost Christopher
Amazing place, can be a bit hard to find what you are looking for but their staff is friendly and helpful
George Fick
I love 2nd and Charles. We always go here for books, very good new and used prices. Organization could use some work, we always have to search a bit.

Super friendly staff. Great selection and prices for new and gently used books, games, comics, and general geekery.

Cool spot to find old obscure movies. Also a good book/music store. I common go to when I'm looking to buy a specific piece.

It can be a great place to shop or not, like any store of this kind it depends on what treasures can be found on the day you're there.

Megan Christine Fisher DBA Ayragon
We have been taking our used books here for a couple years now. The store is easy to find and clean and will organized.
WINDWAIK3R
Meh employees but the store itself is an absolutely unique shopping destination for any type of geek music-book-movie etc. in the industry.
Josh Simmons
I like this place because of what you might see there cause you never know. I know it's 75% book store but still cool either way
Nicolette Lopez
Lots of gift ideas and some things have great prices!.
Blu Jay
All kinds of stuff, I could happily get lost in the shelves. No matter what subject/genre I'm looking for, there always seems to be something.
Stan Grimes
The place is very classic and I enjoyed the selection of games (Genesis, Super Nintendo, N64, Xbox, etc.), but the prices were a bit high for new games.
Marvin
Wow this store has a ton of books dvds action figurines. Basically this store has it all and it is clean and safe. You gotta check it out!!!
Paul Carmi
Cade (I think was his name) cleaned my copy of NFS underground 2 after I purchased it for the low price of 8$. These guys are great, just wish it wasn't so far from home.
