Getting cash for pre-enjoyed goodness is a snap.
Bring your products to our Chic's Beach location and
we will provide a free quote, usually in 30 minutes or
less. No appointment is needed, but if you have over
30 items, we prefer they arrive before 7:00pm.
Unlike many other stores, we don't issue "funny
money" credits that you may lose track of. We give
CASH only, which we encourage you to spend on
books, music and movies, from AFK Books &
Records. ;-)
If you bought a product from us, it's still in great
shape, and our sticker is intact, we will always buy it
back from you. In fact if it's still popular and we don't
already have it in stock, you'll even score some
bonus cash.
We accept vinyl records, textbooks, fiction and
non-fiction books, kids books, manga, CDs, limited
DVDs & Blu-ray, video games and music-themed
t-shirts or clothing.
Pricing is determined by the quantity we have in
stock, popularity, and condition. Products released in
the last 60-90 days typically command a higher price.
The more popular a product is right now, the more
you will get paid.
We don't provide quotes over the phone and all
quotes are provided for lots only. We don't have the
resources to provide pricing on individual items.
As an independent, local business, we also
appreciate direct product donations. Thank you for
supporting independent book stores and record
stores!
