    This store is amazing if you’re looking to buy — they have a vast selection of more than just books! I easily spent over an hour browsing all the collectibles. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. They even assisted me in finding the next book in a series I was reading. The only downside is that if you’re selling books or magazines, the payout is very low — barely pennies on the dollar.

    Sold about 50 books. You get a little bit back nothing great but garage sale price without the garage sale hassel. You do need to wait I store while they process the books but this process went fast. About 15 min.

    This has been one of my go to spots for grabbing books as well as movies and games at a good price, coupons included! My only sole issue with the place is how selling books, games, and other stuff works. Depending on what you decide to sell to the place, you can get either a decent payout or mostly pocket change. The most I've gotten was $30 (which probably isn't much these days...). Other times, I've gotten around $10 to $15. This was before I know about apps like Bookscouter, so I recommend for those of you who want to offload some old stuff to do some research beforehand. Otherwise, I enjoy this place!
