Such a cool place to have in town! They have everything you could want and some top-notch staff. Phoebe made my experience easy by helping me find some Christian fiction I was after, I can't recommend this place enough!

4 stars for buying books
I love this store to BUY books. They have a great selection. I would say average price is 7.99-11.99. Not necessarily a steal for the books, but better than full price.
1 star for selling books there - I did sell there for the first time - I sold 10 hardcover books and 10 paperback books -all published within the last few years. I assumed I'd get $2 a book. Nope. I got $12 for all 20 books. I will never make the effort to sell there again.

I ordered a very rare Porcelain Sandman Death statue and it was shipped from this location. The listing said used, no box but in very good condition. I recieved it today in a box twice the size of the statue with the actual statue loose in the box covered in brown paper.. No bubble wrap.. No foam.. Nothing to secure it at all.
The statue is completely destroyed now. There are fragments all over the box. It kind of looked like the statue was already semi broken because there are missing fragments. (Which means they lied about the condition)
Do not buy anything that requires care to have delivered. Ive included a photo of the box it came in with the brown paper. The box is way too big for a porcelain statue to go through the USPS with no support/bubble. Ive had stuff from Aliexpress come better packaged than this...
The customer service rep that I spoke to was very wonderful though.

Have found some awesome books here! Sometimes the condition of the book isn’t great and it doesn’t seem to reflect in the price, which I feel like it should 🤷♀️

My daughter and I had already been to a few book store looking for a Christian love novel i had read once before. We called before driving over to Half Prices Books. The gal how answered was present from the start and happy to inform us that she had 2 copies and that she was more than pleased to tag the with ours names and leave them at the front desk for us. They were reasonably priced and in good condition for being used. My daughter is loving the book.
