    Donate your books! These guys give you next to nothing. I wasn’t expecting much, but they gave me what averaged out to 15 cents a book for books they will sell for $20. It’s a ripoff. No other way to say it.

    I take books into sell to Half Price books and they make the process so easy and pain free. I have always received a fair price. I also have found some hard to find kids books and also some religious books that I was looking for there as well. I always enjoy the opportunities I have to visit the store and the staff is always helpful and friendly.

    Book turnover is good and store is well stocked and always has a wide variety of titles. However, they do not give you much if you are selling books to them. I would describe it as "pennies on the dollar." You'll definitely get peanuts back. It's a great store to buy from, but not to sell to.
