Great record store. Always find something I want. Great selection to vinyl and cassettes.read more

Besides Bass Pro Shops, congratulations to 2nd & Charles for being the only retail store to survive…read morethe Harrisburg Mall. A huge store located in the former Toys R Us, with a tremendous selection of kids' books, records, and toys across all categories. There's even a free Mother's Day card creation event this Saturday for children. Plenty of staff around to answer questions. I need to bring in my husband's barely used hardcover books for reselling. Living in this digital age, it's great to see 2nd & Charles thriving. If you want new or get a great value with slightly used books, try the 2nd & Charles bookstore for a curated book experience.

The selection here is certainly not as vast as the ones I have been too in Virginia. But they have quality. Pricing actually feels cheaper too. Not exactly sure what some of the bad reviews regarding that issue are, but they should try to visit the other locations if they think this one is bad.

I had a spark of feeling to go…read morefind a record from a local store in PA so I quickly had him pull up on Apple Maps a record store that was close by while we were on a highway three places came up the first two seemed like they would've been extremely disappointing based on reviews and how they appear to be from photos, however, my nephew quickly found this place, which was #3. The second he read off to me about the photos and the reviews. I said OK let's switch the GPS to go to this location. To say "I'm glad I went" would be an understatement. When we first arrived, I quickly realize it's a small town that it's located in but a warming aesthetic, standing from the outside looking in you can just tell it's nothing but treasures awaiting to be found. From the warm greeting from Tom himself, down to him taking notice to the people that walk in and placing a track on the player they may like or even if they ask for certain artists record, he will go and run and put that on for them which I thought was extremely caring, but it also let me know how much he cares about the people who come in, what he do, and how his store is ran. He was kind enough to recommend places for my husband and I to visit in London for our honeymoon. I really enjoyed mingling with other people who share alike interests in this shop. Tom has created a great community place to meet new people and perhaps make new friendships. I adore all he has in his shop its the black hole of records or doom scroll of records lol. I drive 1hr and 7 mins from Maryland just to come to this store; Rock and Roll Graveyard is a great 36min spot from me but this one I fell in love with. Thank you Tom!

Brian was very professional; he took the time to explain the work involved in restoring my player and answered all of my questions. I am very happy with the work he did to fix my player, it sounds amazing and I can finally play records again. I highly recommend Retro Addicts for anyone looking for a place to have their vintage record players restored.

He talked through each pieces' performance and maintenance to make sure my set up met my needs and would last. I enjoyed my conversations with them and my time there. I will definitely be back often to purchase records and have any maintenance done if necessary. High recommend their store! At least worth a visit.

On my first visit, I brought two boxes of (mostly boutique-label) DVDs/Blu-rays, and got a trade/cash offer that makes 2nd & Charles and FYE look like bigger chiselers than they already are. Substantial movie selection, split up by genre (Blu-rays have their own section), with a fairly even variety of used discs and rare/OOP titles in original shrink-wrap. Overstock movies have their own sections, with a "colored dot" bulk discount (good way to pick up some mainstream titles). I browsed for a little over an hour, but could've stayed even longer. The trade credit more than covered the stack of movies I picked up. And they even let me take along some cardboard boxes for an upcoming move. Will definitely be back.

Six weeks later, I call and am told that it would be 2 more weeks. Three more weeks later, I call and strongly request that they check the player. The associate agreed to have it looked at ASAP and I was called back an hour later with news that the unit had been cleaned and "repaired." I get it home and plug it in. Same problem, and it only took nine weeks for it not to be repaired. Avoid the Turntable Store repair services completely.

I'm normally one who wants to flip through all the records in hopes to find that album I have been searching for but this wasn't the place for me.

I was recently visiting Carlisle and discovered Bedford Street Antiques…read more This place is great! It's a unique building, that used to be a factory, not far from the center of the town. I was not only impressed with the selection but with the warm welcome I received. The courtesy extended by the gentleman who spent more than an hour helping me and sharing his knowledge of every item I asked about was fantastic. He helped me find what I was looking for (and some things I didn't know I was looking for :) and had an excellent sense of humor! The experience turned a rainy Monday into a great day. Wish we had places this complete at home. Had a fun time. I will make it a point return to this antique mall next time I am in the area. Thanks for adding to an already enjoyable trip.

We had a great time looking at all the vintage stuff and it was plentiful: antique glassware, light fixtures, jewelry, decorations, dolls, furniture---whatever you can think of they probably have at least one. We ended up wandering around for about an hour. Staff was present and there to help, but they weren't annoying in any way. When we found a set of vintage bubbler lights, one staff member was very excited by our find and offered to plug them in to ensure they work. We will definitely be back when we have more time to peruse. The place is as organized as can be in a building this size and the prices were very reasonable.

My child left heartbroken that there wasn't even a chance to get one of these systems. When I returned without my son two weeks later (after eventually finding the system somewhere else) , I was told they had nothing for me. Without even knowing what I was looking for or what games my child would like, they made a judgement on me. They in fact did have a game I was willing to purchase for $60 and they told me I could not buy it. We have 7 different game systems we shop for. I will not be back to this store. There are better locally owned businesses who sell used video games and systems to spend your money at.
