Getting cash for pre-enjoyed goodness is a snap! Just bring your goodness to our Chic's Beach location and we'll 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 6 p.m. (4 p.m. on Sunday).

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, fiction and non-fiction books, kids books, manga, CDs, music cassettes, limited DVDs & Blu-ray, video games and textbooks.
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!
