  Loved looking through all the books. Great selection of children's books. I wish they had more crochet books though.

  I’ve always enjoyed browsing Half Price Books, but my recent attempt to sell books was a completely different story. I brought in 50 books, all in equal condition to the ones they sell on their shelves, and was offered $2.50 total. Not per book — for all 50. No explanation, no breakdown, nothing. Just a number that made no sense considering these same titles are sold for several dollars each. When I asked the manager how that offer was even calculated, the employee (Zach) gave a smart‑aleck response saying “Well, we have to keep the lights on somehow,” while other employees in the back laughed like it was a joke. The whole interaction was extremely unprofessional and dismissive. I understand businesses need to make a profit, but offering less than a penny for items you turn around and sell at a 100%+ markup — and treating customers poorly on top of it — is not a great look. This experience definitely changed how I view the store.
