    Really? I could buy this brand new, guarantee no scratches and they upped the price? Their pricing is getting out of hand. Not just for movies but their books too! I understand that they need to compete with Amazon but they would NEED to actually compete. This company is going to become the new Game stop laughing stalk.

    I love this HP books, it has a lot of selection on board games and the book selection is great as well. The clearance wall is good too. I love their comic book section. Also they have chairs here and there if you need to take a sit down. The front is helpful when you need help looking for a book. I bought monopoly which was only $10. It had all of the pieces as well. I'm not sure if you can bargain for some of the prices because there was a few books that needed a few dollars taken away at the price. (I found a book I wanted but there was no cover for it) But then again it is mostly at a discounted or half off price. (You get what you get.) Definitely recommend this place because I have been here twice. It's definitely my favorite Half price books.

    It's hard to give any half price a bad review. I remember my pops taking me as a little kid, how magical it felt back then. As an adult, I takey.kids there every chance I get. We often talk about how we wish we could win the lottery and propose an expansion on select locations for an adjacent coffee shop. That's the only thing that would make this place perfect. We often go to Book People so we can work, but if Half Price had the same setup, we'd probably move in. I can't say enough about this place, every location. A gem in the rough of mass consumerism pushing new new new. Half Price is beloved.
