Half Price Books

Staff is extremely nice and always willing to help if you ask. I brought in over 50+ VHS tapes and a couple of books and a record and got 8 $ for the lot. I did have to wait over an hour to get that. I really didn’t mind that i only got 8 $ its the fact i had to wait an hour to get it.

I enjoy coming here to look through the graphic novels and find a new deal on something new. This location also has great deals on CDs, especially the clearance area where they are only 1 dollar. If you know what you are looking for, sure you might be able to find a better deal on amazon and purchasing used. But if you want to explore, come here.

I want to start off by saying what an awesome place! !! When I first went here I didn’t know what to expect, except half priced books. When I realized what all they have I was amazed. It’s really a cool place, they carry everything from books to movies to video games to video game consoles to toys to well you get it ! The coolest thing of it all its the prices, they are very fair, ”A GREAT VALUE”. Every time I go here I END up with tons of stuff and really save alot of money ! I even got some movies for ONLY $ 1 BUCK! I most definitely Recommend HALF PRICED BOOK STORE. A++, AND I WILL BE BACK SOON! !!! WWW​.HALF​PRICED​BOOK​STORE​.COM. CHECK THEM OUT

Omg where has this store been all my life in Lex!!! I know… right where it is! Ha! Great prices. Great organization. Lots of titles from old to new. Lots of other items for kids, stationary, and Dr. Who stuff!!! My new fav!!!

If you’re itching to add a few books to your personal library, but not willing to empty out your wallet, Half Price is a great place to go and look through the ever-​changing collection of books. Yes, most of the books are used, but the selection is generally pretty good, even with newer, mainstream titles. And of course, they’re priced lower than usual bookstores. Not always priced at half the price, but lower, for sure.
The employees are great. If you’re looking for a specific book, you can ask them and they will look up the book for you. If it’s not in store, they can call the nearby store locations and inquire. I appreciated that, because sometimes books seem a bit random and it’s easy to miss if you’re not looking carefully. (The specific book I was looking for wasn’t there. Boo. Found it at the library.)
The store also has DVDs, VHS, vinyl, comic books, etc. I don’t usually pay attention to that area of the store (I’m a bookworm), but it’s there. Worth a look if it’s your cup of tea. You can also sell your books and media here, but you won’t get a lot for them. You’re better off selling your items privately.

The staff here is amazing! They always go above and beyond with excellent customer service.
Not only do they have great employees; I just made money by selling a lot of books. You can’t ask for more than that!
I highly recommend this place.

Lets be honest, I don’t read. I use Half Price Books as my go to place for used DVDS. The regular price for the average movie is $ 3.99. I have been to 3 actual locations and all 3 carried a good sized selection as well. A real plus is that they buy some seriously old/​obscure movie titles so you are likely to find some real true favorites. This is especially true when looking for IFC/​Sundance films. But the trick is to check in often. Things are bought and sold in a blink of an eye sometimes. I’ve even seen parking lot deals go down before sellers even reach the store. Weird but true. But as an example of older/​obscure, I recently purchased «Kentucky Fried Movie». And I have been looking for that for like ever. Aside from older dvds they carry old cds at a good price, toy collectibles, old video/​computer games, kids stuff and hey BOOKS! Give the store a gander.

One of my favorite places to shop. I love listening to records and my parent’s collection that I inherited is lacking in a lot of funk and pop. There are great vinyl staples to be found in this location.
I love the 50 cent VHS tapes. I found a Harold and Maude VHS last year and I was ecstatic!
They always have a great clearance section with books for just a dollar or two. The best thing about HPB is that you never know what you will find. I like the search. I also like the fact that if I am looking for a classic novel I will probably find it, and for half the price that I would pay for it new.
Everything is so cheap that I end up buying way too much. I have five bookcases in my house and they are all full. The great news is that you can also sell all those things back here.

Half-​Price Books is basically just a used bookstore, operated like a college bookstore.
They do have a decent, ever-​evolving selection of used books. If you’re looking for a mainstream title at a good price, there’s a good chance you’ll find it here.
The music selection is hit or miss. I’ve found a couple of rare records there priced at just a few dollars. They had no idea what they had. But at the same time, sometimes they’ll think they have something that’s worth a lot of money when it really isn’t, so you might see a $ 20 price on a record that shouldn’t cost more than $ 6.
Don’t bother trying to sell your stuff here. That’s where the college bookstore operation kicks in. No matter what you take in, they won’t offer you anything remotely close to what it’s worth. Obviously, businesses need to make a profit. But frankly, if you try to sell at Half-​Price Books, prepare to be insulted. You’d do just as well donating your items to charity and declaring them on your taxes.

This is a good place to dump off books and items that nobody else will buy. I wouldn’t take anything here if you think it’s valuable at all, they pay very little but they will take just about any book or magazine you have lying around if donating to Goodwill for a tax deduction isn’t your plan. I pretty much only come here when I have stuff that doesn’t or won’t sell on eBay or through other venues.
They don’t just carry books but movies, DVDs, music, comics, games, toys and the like as well as the usual book store additions of stationary, calendars and the like. A lot of what they buy does end up on the shelf but don’t expect any bargains, as far as I can tell everything is cross checked against eBay or Amazon marketplace and priced accordingly. I’ve looked at a couple of items and they were priced at exactly the last sold price on eBay.
