  I was tired of seeing $20 labels on books at big name book stores. This place doesn't have every book under the sun, but they had enough for me to easily find 5 or 6 interesting books. Will definitely come back sometime

  They have so much more than books. Everything from retro video games to vinyl records.

  Huge store, very tidy and well organized. Oddly limited selection of books, could not find many common titles that are usually readily available used.

  There website and their phone menu says that they buy most anything from the community such as: books, movies, music games, and collectables. Made a call to verify what they would buy, but there is not an option to speak to a store employee. Made a special trip with several items that they said they buy vintage books, new books , at least 100 new DVD's, and CD's. They wouldn't take anything else I brought. After checking in at least 10 books that were old in excellent condition, along with the 100 movies some unopened. Movie sets, and top hits. Children's top movie titles . I had to tak they have a lot of false advertisemente the offer the game for everything, or if I didn't accept the offer I had to take everything back they didn't break anything up or offer separately. When they called my name because it was done processed they offered me $7.53!!! If I hadn't needed the gas money to get back home to the south side of Des Moines I would have never taken the offer. But I did tell him I would never get back to that story again and I was going to put a review out on the experience. I would never encourage anyone to go there if you're trying to sell anything. They have false advertising.
