Oxfam Books & Music

Nice secondhand books, film disc and vinyl can be found here. I’ve got my favourite Teddy Bear book for a reasonable price there. I feel comfortable to stay in the shop, some kind of place that has reduced my anxiety in reality. Keep going Oxfam, do you know that you have done a good job? Appreciated that the experienced staff are polite and helpful, however, once a young man staff charged me 6 times of the original price for a set of books. I told them and they finally fixed the problem. As a matter of fact, I like this shop and the way they use pencils to write the price tag.

A lovely little shop tucked away in Jesmond. Vinyl, CD, audio cassette. Yes. Cassette. DVDs. Oxfam merchandise. Maps, some quite old, and of course books. Some rare and collectable books that can really strike the imagination and the wallet. A corner for children's books and dvd which is lovely. A real hidden gem. Not far from the metro station. It's all wheelchair and pram friendly.

Good range of DVDs/Blu-ray discs and fairly wide selection of books, so you'll probably find something here of interest. However, it must be said that many items are overpriced and can often be bought considerably considerably cheaper online. DVDs/Blu-ray discs are also more expensive here than at other local charity shops and even nearby branches of Oxfam, which.one could hardly say was a shining example of fair trade.

Having lived in Jesmond over 10 years this was rather a good little shop, however price are now extorcianate, unless its a standard paperback (generally a coffee stained mess). I now only browse and buy online as its cheaper, only a few weeks ago staff stated they where having to lower prices to fall in-line with retailers, for a charity shop i think thats disgusting! i understand they want to get as much as they can for the charity but their more expensive than dealers, e.g.. last week i overheard the manager stating a certain book must be priced wrong as it LOOKS like its worth more, up from £3.49 to £19.99 without even checking after the item has been there for a few months unsold rather than lowering prices they just get removed. even the collectable books are cheaper on Abesbooks. also the book in question was £4.99 on Ebay. i have also noticed books from other local charities turning up at marked up prices (only a few). i used to enjoy this shop as others have stated, it has a music room which again cd prices are fine but the vinyl is hiked up at collectors value, however the condition is generally not good. Anyway i used to spend roughly £50 every couple of weeks in this shop and get a quite few good books, now if i did that i would come away with 2 or 3. i have more examples but i would be here all day. Its a shame!

Good variety of books cards and stuff well laid out and good prices. Served by a perfect Gent. Thanks for your service
