    Don't listen to what any thing online about selling items here, took in dvds and video gamed, offered 16 bucks for over a hundred off them , I was under the impression that they would pay 50 cents at the minimum. Don't waste your time unless you really need that hamburger and fries with water to to drink. The employee was friendly e

    It's a nice store and I would recommend it for purchasing BUT Not for selling. A lot of it has to do with this specific location because you definitely get more at other half Price books locations for your stuff and even other companies that do the same in the Cincinnati area. It's laughable really the amount they give you for your items. I have taken in tote bags full of books videos and all kinds of items with many being popular items and have received a total of $10 for about 400 items and I'm not kidding 😆 People don't read especially books and reselling them is proof of that! Sad...
