Just got this beaut in! A 250GB PS3 slim console, for only $235.
The customer who sold it to us sold it with a few games, including DJ Rapstar. I, a 22 year-old white female, decided to test this game because it came with a microphone and I needed to test the microphone as well.
After my short-lived rap career, I decided to take the system and the game. However, I’ll probably keep my day job.
Kind of.

*Textbooks must be bound (no loose paper), contain no water damage, minimal highlighting, and cannot be custom editions for a specific school. We take textbooks based on the age, condition, and most importantly, the current fair market value.
Today we got in this Harry Potter box set, and I was really excited to make a post about it whenever I got home from work. On the way, I was thinking about what to write on here. We priced it at $100, so it was way out of my personal price range, but I knew that someone would be happy to spend the money.
Then my boss called.
An hour after it was put out on the floor, it was purchased.
Sad day for us, happy day for a customer!
Come by the store today for record painting, seed planting, and general earthy things.
Also we now sell Innova discs! Today’s a PERFECT day to hit the disc golf courses, so come by and grab your discs using your PREMIUM store credit! Not into Innova? Try the Prodigy prototype discs!
Come to The Last Word tonight at 7:00 pm for an awesome acoustic set by the lovely Arsena Schroeder! You can enjoy music, coffee, and grab a book while you’re at it!
On Saturday, one of our employees had a short discussion with a customer about which brand of jellybeans are better: Starburst or Jolly Rancher.
Two days later, this employee came to work to find two baggies of jelly beans covered in aluminum foil with a sticky note attached saying “Blind taste test. No peeking!”
Our customers are so thoughtful!

Band trivia of the week!
Man, what a find this place is. If you like movies, music, books, or video games…and like savings, then you owe it to yourself to check The Last Word out. It’s kind of like going to an indoor flea market, but in a much more comfortable environment.
The Last Word is located in a strip mall, and the parking lot is a nightmare to navigate. Once you make your way over to the store and enter it’s doors, all your dreams can come true. The place is bright and gigantic, and they have tons of DVDs and books, as well as a decent selection of CDs, vinyl albums, video games, board games and comic books. The store layout makes it pretty easy to navigate, and thankfully everything is pretty well organized and alphabatized, making looking for that one movie or your favorite author not such a harrowing task. I also loved that the employees weren’t wandering the aisles hassling you as you shopped, but were readily available at the checkout table if you had questions or needed some other help.
The other good thing about The Last Word are the prices. I don’t think I saw one item that I felt was overpriced, and most things seemed either right where they should be or ridiculously cheap. I picked up a couple of CDs that cost me either $1 or $4 each, and the missus got some vinyl records that were $3 (though she did also pick up an Elvis record for $9, but I guess the King comes with his price.) I perused the video games and while the selection wasn’t anything super fantastic, the prices were right where they should be and definitely puts Game Stop and other used video game retailers to shame. The other nifty video game aspect was that they had a solid selection of older consoles. If I had an extra $50 to blow I might have went for that old school NES!!!
The reason the prices are so cheap is because most (if not everything) they sell is used/ second-hand. You can waltz in there Tuesday through Sunday and sell off your old crud you have cluttering up your house. We stopped in at the window first thing and dropped off a box of old books and then went browsing while they processed our order. When it was done we went back, accepted the prices they gave us (which I felt were pretty fair) and then used that credit to pick up some new stuff (if you want they will pay you in cash, but it won’t be as much.) They open a “customer account” for you so any credit you have but don’t use up will be sitting there waiting for your next visit. My only complaint was that the credit couldn’t be used for video games, otherwise the whole deal is very well worth the time.
The Last Word is a great concept for a store. You go in, drop a ton of your old junk off, and use the credit to get newer junk to fill your home with. The ease of unpressured shopping for cool stuff at cheap prices makes this place totally worth the visit. So go do some spring cleaning around your home, sell off that junk and treat yourself to that book or DVD you’ve always wanted.
Just so you know, you can purchase video games with PREMIUM store credit. Premium store credit is awarded whenever you sell your video games, iPods, calculators, and consoles to us.
The Last Word is a Charlotte, NC used book, music, and media store. Our goal is to create a comfortable, open atmosphere in the university area of Charlotte while providing the area with a place to find awesome first rate second hand books, CDs and vinyl, DVDs, Blu-Ray, and VHS, video game consoles, iPods, and games ranging from the NES to the Xbox360. We also have opened up a coffee shop in the store, The Coffee Press, to provide you not only with books and media but with delicious coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. We feel that the most important way to stimulate the economy is to shop local, which is why we also provide an outlet for local artisans for their art, jewelry, and other crafts. Musicians and authors in the area can find a place to get their names out there, and it’s a wonderful resource for finding entertainment of any and all kind. You can also sell or trade all your outgrown books, music, and media to the store, which not only helps you de-clutter your space, but it allows us to offer a wide range of items in the store at low prices.
