2nd & Charles is located among the stores of the Centre at Hagerstown. It was previously a Borders…read moreand its neighboring stores include Marshalls and HomeGoods. This store is supposed to be one of the smallest in the chain, but doesn't show it. Large selection of books, comics, DVD/Blu-ray's, and toys/collectables. If you don't know about 2nd & Charles, most of the items are used trade-ins from other customers, so you can never be sure what will be in stock. We had several questions about prices of items behind the counter which were quickly answered and the employees were helpful. Had a good selection of Manga but a smaller selection of Anime DVD/Blu-ray's. A large selection of comic longboxes were available, but per other 2nd & Charles their organization was not the best. Overall, store was clean and organized with an on-par selection of items compared to other stores. I would return here again.

The three stars is because this place is an utter mess of an massive amount of books. I don't understand why the books hardback and paperback for one author are separated. It's overwhelming to try and find a particular book. It's a good place if you have no expectations.

Usually they have a deal on CDs but I got a new car and wanted some banger albums and go figure that deal is done. Great place for cheap books - even new ones that were part of buyouts.

However, go elsewhere for trading in stuff. I was given a lowball offer for some games and a collectible I brought in and the owner wasn't happy because one was imported. I ended up taking them to EStarland on my way home and got a much better offer and actual praise for bringing in some good stuff. In the end, if you find what you are looking for, that's great! but go elsewhere to get better values for your trade ins.

I have to admit, my interaction with staff today was just as bad. They barely speak to you, won't look you in the eye, and he seemed extremely annoyed when I mention the price of the item should be different according to the sign. The fact that employees make customers feel like they are an inconvenience is probably the reason why the store is closing. Even if it wasn't I wouldn't come back. The deals aren't that great and according to staff they won't be doing a mass discount towards the end. Honestly, don't bother.

He laughed at me, said good luck, and then followed me around the store. He kept making comments just loud enough for me to hear, such as "magic is as real as religion", "Hagerstown is just full of crazy people these days". I finally turned around and asked him what his problem was, to which he replied "oh I don't have a problem but clearly you do." I immediately left and I will never come back. In fact, I'm going to tell people not to come to this store because the managers are very rude. Eta: I never specified a date, and if your management team was focused on helping customers find such a small section of books, instead of entertaining themselves, I would have given a better rating.
