Who We Are
Thanks for visiting our Web site! We’re Edward McKay Used Books & More, feeding your head since 1975. We have four locations in North Carolina — Fayetteville, Greensboro, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem. We also have three online stores – Bragg About Books, Mini City Media, and Oakwood Books.
As you might expect from the name we buy, sell, and trade used books! But we deal in a lot of other used media as well, including DVDs, video games, music CDs, VHS tapes, audiobooks, and even iPods and other electronics. We’re open seven days a week and most days of the year, because you never know when your brain might need a snack.

Buy From Us
Of course, we have books! Our fiction and non-fiction inventory is not in a computerized database, but it’s arranged by category and genre in a way that we hope lets you both find things easily and make new discoveries! Let the kids browse, too – we also have a youth area with separate sections for kids and young adults.
Paper not your thing? We have audio books, both on tape and CD. If you’re more into the moving picture we have both DVDs and VHS in a variety of categories.
Seeking sounds? Browse our extensive collection of music CDs and — believe it or not — our also-extensive collection of vinyl records. And hey, if you’ve got tunes but want to rip ‘em and carry ‘em with you, we have a variety of used iPods.
Speaking of retro to modern, take a look at our video games. We carry a variety of systems, from classic to brand new.

Sell to Us
Not only will we sell things TO you, we’ll buy things FROM you. Have you finished that video game? Upgraded to a better iPod? Finished that semester of college? We buy a variety of media items, including video games, DVDs, textbooks, and some kinds of consumer electronics. Furthermore, we buy from the public seven days a week. Turn your used media into cash — now that’s some useful recycling!
Every store has slightly different rules about what they will and won’t pay cash for, so be sure to check in with your nearest Edward McKay’s. Want an idea of how we buy? Check out Raleigh’s buy/sell/trade guide or look at Fayetteville’s buy/sell/trade guide.

Trade With Us
Hey, bookworms! Everybody who works at this company knows: no matter how big your house, you can only have so many bookshelves. It’s tough, but periodically you’ve got to give up some of your books if you want to get some more — at least if you don’t want your domicile to be full to bursting.
When you’re finished with your books or CDs or DVDs or other media, bring them to us. We’ll pay you trade credit for your items, which you can then turn around and use for other items in the store. You can’t use trade credit for everything in the store (each location is a little different) but you can use it for music CDs, most books, some video games, and some audiobooks. Some locations even let you buy DVDs and other items with trade credit!
Good things to know about our trade credit: it never expires. Never. Bring in some books, get some trade credit from us, go on vacation for five years, come back — and your trade credit is still good.
We know plenty of people who come in with a pile of books to trade, leave with a pile of books to read, and never have to touch their wallet. It’s certainly easy on the entertainment budget!
