2158 Buy Back Manager
About the role
Love books? Good. That's where it starts. At 2nd & Charles, every item has a story, and Buyers are the first to hear it. Working at the buyback counter, you'll evaluate the books, music, movies, games, and collectibles customers bring in and turn them into discoveries for the next customer. You don't just buy books. You believe in them. Enjoy the thrill of discovering what's inside every box that comes across the counter? Ready to be part of a store where every shift turns up something new? This is an hourly role based in one of our 2nd & Charles retail store locations.
A passion for books is the foundation here, and you'll bring that energy to the buy counter every day. The Buyer takes ownership of the buyback experience from the first greeting to the final offer—evaluating and taking in used product from customers, making fair and confident offers, and providing exceptional service to every customer in a friendly and helpful manner. You'll know books and the other merchandise in our store, and you'll use that knowledge to spot what's worth buying and what customers are looking for next.
