The staff is helpful and friendly The prices are great. We bought 11 out of the 12 books in a series for 57.00 that would have cost us 258.00 rand new and the books are in like new condition. They have a wide variety of movies to select from. Music for those in search of long lost titles. All around great experience.
So many books here. Even though I didnt find what I came for I found something even better.You know whats hilarious? The people that were top news just couple of years ago are on clearance today, nobody cares. I want to live my life in a way that will leave a positive impact on the world whether Im remembered or not.
Seems like this one has a large selection but I didnt look too closely. My mom was here to get rid of some old books and tapes. She had maybe 3 boxes full, but they could only offer her around $4. Whats really cool is they told her they would just take care of everything she didnt want back.
Love this place. I wish the exchange rate was better but I understand trying to pay the bills and even make a profit. keep up the good work. Great service!
To those of you who have been to this business in the past- I will give you a fair type of warning here- Do not sell anything to this book store or any of its branches. For what I turned in- and some items were common but others were not. I am really embarrassed to say how much I received for what I turned in- and it wasnt much- but you think that you would receive more on that basis. Also- and this was not directed towards myself- but through my observations- and I have been at this store in the past- the staff was very rude to a lot of customers that were in the store. I was a repeat customer until now. I will say this- if you have good products that are in really good shape and you want to sell them- I would recommend using an exceptional trustworthy market outside this business and their branches. If things were to have changed- I might return. But after this experience- I will no longer sell any items to them- for the time being. But also be forewarned- I believe that what they tell you that they are overstocked on certain items- do not believe them for a second. I leave you with this observation- and many of you have probably seen it. What you sell them- and after they accept and give you a poor return on it- they mark it up with the price tag increased over 250% so that they can sell it and make money off of what you sold to them and they gave you almost nothing for it. Just be cautious and careful folks.
My son finished medical school leaving about 25 of his books which I paid over $3000 for. So I took them into Half Price and they only gave me $12.41 for them . I know there is a demand and they have their corporate formula but that really hurt. Otherwise the staff was friendly many used books with great prices, I saw CD, games and it was busy
Great spot. Very diverse. Im definitely visiting this place again
It was good to unload some of my abundance of books-- but the money I received didnt pay for my gas.Everyone was very nice and helpful!
Too many books to choose from and all of them (most of them!) one of a kind. Be prepared to spend a lot of enjoyable time here. The store is neat, well kept, and brightly lit.
Great place to pick up books to add to your collection but wouldnt sell back. They rob you blind and sell for a big profit.
Its ok. Timely assessments. Was disappointed with my books results. Maybe because self help, health, and kind of older. But I wasnt told why so little appraisal. The clerk was very nice though. Brought box of books rejected back to my car. So disappointing appraisal, nice customer service.
A wider selection of books than I expected! The store is a little unorganized, though this is expected given their ever changing catalog of books and other items. The store has a small section for “new releases” which makes it easy to find recently popular books. The books were a little pricier compared to what you might expect at a thrift store, but I still found some great buys. I will definitely be back when I need to restock on new books!
Great selection. Decent prices. Cheaper than new and in good condition.
I love this place. It is a place where books that were formerly loved can find love again!
There’s a wide assortment of books, videos, and music of all kinds. The prices are considerably lower than buying new, yet every book I looked at was still in great condition. I can’t review on selling books to them, but it was a great experience as a customer.
I could walk around all day in here there is so much to see and read oh, got a pretty good deal for my used books.😃
Great stuff! The selection of books was huge, even including newest releases while they also carried some adorable stationary for a very affordable price.
Great place to find those loves of childhood or something new that catches the eye. Good staff that know their stuff.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! They have so many selection of books and the prices arent that bad either. I would definitely recommend this place for book lovers.
Always helpful & friendly, and always a place I find a treasure. Perfect place for gifts for anyone whos interested in anything. Great finds for kids. Whats better than old books?
This place never disappoints me. Every time Im here I love it and leave with 7-10 books because they are reasonably cheap! The clearance wall has titles that are still current. Recently just bought A Dogs Way Home for $3! Hardcover too! The staff is super friendly and checks in on you occasionally to see if you need anything! They dont have a book your looking for? No problem! Theyll order it for you! LOVE this place!
I was HIGHLY disappointed with their offer for my 7 text books. $2?! Unbelievable! You have got to be kidding me!? Good luck getting a good buck for your used textbooks. Youre probably better off selling them online, which is what I plan on trying to do. Otherwise, they seem to have a pretty decent selection of books for sale.
Friendly, helpful staff and a great selection. Were (slowly) bringing in a lot of books we hauled out of a hoarder house and each day they take another couple boxes and offer us a decent trade price for them!
Clean & well lit. Easy to get to clean rest rooms. Helpful staff. Always a pleasant shopping experience.
Used the “sell” service 3 times as we are moving and downsizing. Got cash back. What a great service they provide! We so appreciate it.
Excellent and clean store fair price 😊😊
I love this location, they have a huge selection and the staff is always fantastic. We always stop here on our roadtrips to see family.
It is like Christmas but you giveHPB your books, almost.
Employees are very kind and their selection is immense! I love going here w my SO to check out what they got in stock, they never disappoint ♡
Offered me 17 cents for a chemistry textbook, tissue paper is worth more than that what a joke not even a dollar, sell your books on ebay.
So far Im batting 100 with being able to get books that are required for my 3rd and 5th grader. Ive called each time in advance and they had the books waiting for me at the counter and the prices have been cheaper than what they would be on Amazon. So I would recommend giving them a call before you buy online, buy local!
While not as good as other Half-priced Books stores, nonetheless this is a bookstore worth checking out.
Large Selection, Good Customer Service!
I have to say that I was surprised by the service at this half priced books. We drove an hour north to come and buy books. When we checked out the man who checked us out was curt, unattentive and dismissive. We tried to crack a joke and even start a conversation about how excited we were to have driven up to the store and...nothing. He didnt even look at my son or I.Barring the lack of customer service the selection was great, the store was orderly and it would have been a 5 star trip if the employee had given any care to beinging a friendly face of the company. Probably wont be back, we can drive an hour south and just go to Westerville instead.I am sad to write this review. Our experiences at every other half price books had been great.
Nice selection of vintage vinyl LPs. Prices were excellent. Will return in future.
Always a great place to browse.
Great selection of books! Calm atmosphere, I could spend hours browsing.
I love this place! The books are organized very Well! The staff were friendly and asked numerous times if I needed help finding anything.
Always an exciting visit. I automatically go to the clearance, but theres a little bit of everything. Huge selection of music and dvds too!
This is my favorite place in the entire world! The best journaling/stationary section, coordinating by color/theme ❤ 💙. If anyone is looking for recommendations; check out the unique 📚 in true crime and world history section. I love exploring here and the staff are my favorite people 💕 theyll remember what you like and make great recommendations
Love this place, books, old movies and music
There are always diamonds in the rough here. Very versatile selection of things. Even if you dont read! Highly suggest checking them out if you are into board games
Had just what I needed
Awesome book store with fantastic prices not only on books, but on films, music, and various other items.
I Love hpb great selection for great prices. I never make it out of there in less than at least a half an hour! LOL
Large selection of books, lps, calenders, and more for the whole family.
Buying is good, selling not so good
This store has an incredibly nice and helpful staff!
While the building and the shelves are well worn, everything is clean, the books are good, and the staff is excellent.
If you like reading, this is a great place !
Really well kept store! Great design for covid times. Easy to sell books and friendly staff.
Always great finds and deals here! You do need an appointment now to sell back books, so be aware of that. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Decent-sized clearance section and a variety of music in various formats. Best part for me is the selection of Ohio and Cleveland books.
Great. Location.$$$$. Save money.
Great service. Layout flows smoothly
Really awesome store and great prices. Staff is friendly and helpful, really over all cool store I highly recommend you check it out.
Such a great store to buy used books. Some of the books are a little overpriced for how long they have been out and for how many copies they have, but overall, still an amazing store. Would like to see more of a variety or comics and games, as well as some of the darker genres of history and non-fiction/fiction.
Ive always loved this store and I always find at least one thing Im searching for. The staff is always helpful!
Sell your books on Amazon. You’ll get way more for them. Don’t waste your time here.
Dont have certain books like Travel to Fantastic Realms, Inner Earth in the Puranus,etc...
I always feel welcome here!!
Awesome selection of books, and generous buyback program. Elizabeth runs a great store; the associates are friendly and knowledgeable. I love this place!
Great books at a great price
Wonderful place with nice and informative associates, willing to help you find the books or stories you crave. They buy and sell books so bring in what you dont read!
Awesome Awesome Awesome!Great finds from books, cds, dvds, vinyl, magazines, and so much more, we are talking calendars, stationary, cards and games so much more & loads of fun!The staff is fantastic and always willing to help.They also buy back as well, you can cash out or use the buy back for more books and other items!Easily located from 480!I would definitely recommend stopping in and taking a stroll through the isles and fund a new read!
Good selection of used books.
Staff works quickly to gather and price all the books you bring in to sell. You dont get a lot of money for them, but still better than tossing the books!
I wouldnt recommend selling to them. I took a collection of books that i paid around $250 for and they offered me $8.06. I donated them to my public library instead! They have a decent collection of books for adults. However the toddler/kid section is lacking.
The buy boos for very cheap.
Great selection of books at a fair price.
Was at this store today and was admonished by one of the staff for not having my.mask OVER my nose. Told that mask fascist to go away. Needless to say they lost a sale. You dont treat customers that way. NOT GOOD BUSINESS!Spend your money at other retailers that appreciate you!
We brought in a large book collection of my fathers which had many valuable books and received $30 for it... this place sucks
Quaint little shop with a fair selection of midrange books. Some treasures can be found if you look! I could spend all day perusing through their stock. Good prices and lovely staff.
Always find something I want to purchase there!
First time there and it was great! Books are in fantastic condition and I found a few other cool items as well. Great prices, definitely go back when Im in the area again.
I love this place bc I love books. Everyone was polite and kept social distance.
Half Price Books is always a pleasure to visit. Clean, organized shelves. Reasonably priced books, games, videos, and music.Staff is always super friendly and helpful.
Great staff... ever-rotating selection of classic, low-priced books.
Love this place! Worth the drive every time.
Love this store!
My favorite book store. The only place that has a good selection of horror novels. I could spend all day here browsing. I only wish there were more of these stores around, I live an hour away.
I have been looking for a certain cookbook and they had it. I love this store
If you love to read, you can always find something here.
Wonderful place to browse books, magazines, DVDs, CDs. Great Prices on previously owned items. Helpful staff.
Such a cool store with some really cool stuff! I came here for the comic booms and was presently surprised to find some stuff to add to my collection that was in really good condition
Absolutely love this store! Great book selection with other bookworm knick knacks. Audio selection was good & prices are very welcoming. Anyone with a smart phone can cross check wheres the better deal and 8 out of 10 times this store gets it. The bookshop is clean and well organized. The staff have always been super friendly and helpful. Parking is free and located right in front of the store. Nice area located in North Olmsted. I highly recommend this shop! 👍🏼👍🏼
Good selection of sci-fi and mystery. Friendly staff
Im not a book person but my wife is so only reason I give it a four is because lm not a big book person
Half Price books is an amazing place to escape, and find a little Peace of mind whether youre looking for reading material, music materials, arts and crafts, or very unique and eclectic gift ideas! The prices are very affordable, and they will go out of their way to get you the materials you need. Thumbs up for this place😊
Great store. Helpful workers
People on top of people, staff not wearing masks, horrible experience. Wont go back
Went in with a specific book I was looking for, and walked out with that one and 16 more!! Great place, great selection and knowledgeable staff. Ill be back!!
They have the best of variety and the people are welcoming and knowledgeable. You can do all your Christmas shopping here.
I like the store so far. Ive been there twice. Friendly, helpful people. I found what I was looking for each time. No problem understanding the way the books are sorted. Not sure about half price but the prices seemed good to me. They were very pleasant about damage I found in a book after I purchased it. No problem replacing it and apologizing.
Friendly staff. I took some old college text books and another group of books I had to their location to participate in their buy-back program. The process was pretty easy in that I just brought a box of books in, and was able to leave and shop while they prepared an estimate for me. I found the offer they gave me to be sort of low, but I needed to create some space in my apartment and just wanted to pass them on to someone who may have needed them. The store was pretty crowded when I went on a Friday, and they really do have a nice assortment of books and DVDs. It was good to see that classic book reading isnt dead yet.
Love this book store. Never know what you will find.
Great place to get 2nd hand books. Fun place to browse.
