    Great to buy from but be cautious that they only pay 10% or less than their resale price.

    I spent an hour driving to this used bookstore to sell my book and was immediately turned away by a very rude sales person. Apparently no way to know if they are currently accepting books you just have to chance it. Not worth the time I wasted

    Back in town visiting family and this was my first time at Half Price - it’s an amazing store! Books are affordable and they have a great selection that rotates seemingly all the time. I also had the experience of bringing some of my parents books and their buying process was quick and easy, the cash amount given back wasn’t high but its more money for books. All the staff were super lovely too!

    Went to go sell 25 high quality, mostly hard cover comics, and books. Including the Lord of Rings series. They only paid out $21…. Earned what, $1.10 per book? Then they’re going to sell them for anywhere between $8-$40. So messed up. I’m not coming back here ever again
