It's a collector's tchotchke haven. So many neat things to look at. The resold stock is always nice, but anything new seems more expensive than anywhere else, even if it's just MSRP. I always enjoy checking this place out when I have a chance. I do wish they'd stop forcing the employees to hawk magazine subscriptions.

This location was GREAT! Huge selections of books, dvds, music and audiobooks. I browsed the YA section, all children’s sections, clearance and audiobooks. Everything is in order by author’s latest names and organized well. Helpful alphabet letters are placed to better find a specific book via author. Highly recommend spending time in this store.

How had I never heard of this place before?? I had a friend tell me about it last week and I finally had the opportunity to visit. This place was absolute bookworm and nerd heaven. To begin with, they buy used books, movies, games, vinyl, etc. I filled two of their bins with books and comics to sell to them. The process is pretty easy and straightforward. You leave your stuff, they go through it and contact you within a few hours with either a cash or store credit offer. The really awesome thing is that you can use your store credit on anything in the store! The hardest part is determining what to use your credit on as they have such an amazing selection of new & used books, along with toys, games, movies, and so much more. I've already told family I wouldn't complain if I got a gift certificate for my upcomimg birthday or Christmas. I didn't want to leave and am already looking forward to my next visit.

Great bookstore for merch, cute accessories for your favorite manga and book characters, and books are way cheaper than others (Barnes and Nobles). Staff are always helpful and there’s a book trade-in available.

Found a working limited edition Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360 in the trashcan outside the front door. Thse store was cool but the trash is a better deal.

It's great to be able to bring books you no longer need someplace and get a little money back. What they don't buy you can place in the Free Book bin. I hate to throw away books; this an alternative. You can opt for cash or store credit. They have humongous selection of books, DVDs, CDs, and other merchandise. Very friendly and helpful staff tops off the list.

Good selection of books, DVDs and vinyl records. The have mostly new stuff but you can buy used as well. Even trade your old stuff for other stuff, store credit or cash.

I was a bit hesitant to stop by because I read quite a few reviews of how expensive it was for a “used/secondhand store,” but I decided to go anyways. It’s a bit of a drive from my house, but well worth it. I think where people go wrong, is believing it’s solely a secondhand shop. They have new items/books as well, so those are retail price, the same as you’d find at Barnes and Noble or any other big retail store. The used books I found ranged from as little as $2 to $10 depending on how new and popular it was, which seems fair to me. There’s even a clearance book section. I obviously didn’t look at every single book in store, but from what I saw, I wouldn’t say it’s overpriced. I found a decent amount of funkos and other collectibles I haven’t seen elsewhere, so that was exciting for me. The store is pretty big, clean, and well stocked and will probably become my favorite as I’ll definitely be going back. It’s the closest store I’ve found that reminds me of my local Half price books back in Illinois. I only wish the horror section were bigger.

This is my favorite bookstore/music/film in Newport News. I think it is mostly supposed to be a used book and record store but they sell a variety of new and used media products: video games, board games, musical instruments, pop culture t-shirts, and more. Their prices are always reasonable and sometimes surprisingly good (I've gotten a variety of collectible novels and games for super cheap here). Although my interactions with the staff has been brief, they are generally nice. But this needs to be said: one thing I really don't like about this place is how they always ask you subscribe to magazines at the register "for free." Sigh. It's so patronizing. Everyone knows that eventually a free magazine subscription becomes invoiced. So, it's not really free from a certain perspective. Even worse, instead of asking, "Would you like to subscribe to this or that magazine" they say, "And what magazine would you like to subscribe to today?" It's icky and uncool. This conplaint aside, this is a great place.
