Love it. Stopped in to browse books, and left with Star Wars figures. Everything is priced very well, I make it a frequent stop on my days off, nice staff also. I feel like I never know what I’ll find here, and that adds to the excitement! I never leave empty handed.

Someone who knows records needs to price the LPs in here. I looked at two records that I *kind of* wanted(one priced $ 30 and the other $ 35) that I can literally go down the street to Reverb and get for half that price, if not less. Just because one CAN sell records doesn’t mean one SHOULD sell records. How is the pricing done in here? Does Bobzbay go to Discogs and check the highest price a record is selling for and then tack on 10%? It does nothing but annoy me when I see amateur hour pricing. (As an aside, the people are friendly and the store actually has a little charm, but I can’t get over the record pricing.)

We were going through«Blormal» and I picked out this bookstore to stop at. I was a little worried my 14 y.o. step-daughter wouldn’t find anything but she found a bunch of books for cheap! It’s not big but has a lot of variety. They even had Nintendo games(NES and cube from what I remember…) Plus! They had this little table right in front with a box of crayons and some paper. My 2 y.o. went straight for it and sat there for a good 20 minutes happy as can be! Definitely worth checking out!

I love this store. It’s a unique atmosphere and a great place to get books for cheap. I one purchased the first Divergent book of the series for only a few bucks. I also bought a few games for a Gameboy that I used to have. They also sell some pretty unique, unexpected items(for example – I’ve seen them sell a few vintage bikes). I think this place is definitely worth a visit if you happen to be Downtown. While I definitely recommend buying from them, I am not sure if I recommend selling to them. I’m honestly not sure how much I would’ve gotten for my items elsewhere, but I felt like I didn’t get much for the Gameboy that I sold them or the few books that they accepted from me. They passed on a few books that I tried to sell, and I was confused why they passed on them(they were in good condition and fairly well-known books).

I went to Bobzbay for the first time today. I walked in and the store was inviting. The staff was friendly and helpful. I liked the atmosphere, it was smaller than I expected but still had everything you could ever need. They buy and sell everything from books to vintage toys. Really cool place!

This store is a guy store and I am glad about it. The place has cool stuff and good cheap used video games and movies. Plenty of toys and books too.

Great little shop! An interesting collection of books and some sweet old school games. Helpful staff — Bob gave me a hefty discount when I came up to his register with a towering pile of stuff. I’ll be coming back for sure.

I noticed this store in downtown Bloomington recently and decided to check it out. I’m not sure if it’s a new store or what the deal is but it’s a pretty cool shop. They don’t have a big selection but that’s because they are selective with what they buy and sell. The used books looked to be in good shape and interesting. They had CDs and DVDs for sale for $ 3 – 5. It was mostly popular music and movies. I didn’t check out the video games — someone else will have to comment on that part of Bobzbay. I’m planning to go back again when I have more time to explore, so I’ll update my review if I discover anything new.
