    I did like the collection of books and discs. There was however a lot of people monitoring the store and a pretty watchy cashier which did bring down the experience a bit.

    Unless you plan on donating your books, don't bring your books to sell unless they're rare because I brought four records vinyl 37 books paperback and hardcover and only got a $1.25 for all of it But then proceeded to go check the store for the same books that I brought in and they're selling them for four times as much. There's no balance in the payout and their prices aren't that cheap 😑
