Generally I love Half Price Books and this was my first time visiting this particular location. During my visit the power completely shut off, which according to the staff was an issue that happens quite frequently. Apparently its an electrical issue that affects the store rather than the entire plaza. The store was prepared to handle the situation and allowed customers to continue to checkout either using cash or card (via an old school carbon receipt machine). Even though I wasnt ready to checkout and had a flashlight, the stores manager still requested and ushered everyone to the center of the store. I checked out without getting everything I fully needed; which was more of an inconvenience rather than anything else.

You need to really be careful selling books or other items to this place. Depending on whos working the counter they really dont seem to have a clue what to price things out at. I brought a box of comic books that I knew were fairly valuable and they offered me 20 dollars for the entire box lets just say within a couple weeks of trying to sell them on my own I made over $5000 for the same box they offered me 20 bucks for. Could you imagine if I didnt know any better. Either the person working was looking to outright take advantage of me or was incompetent. If these books were out of their capabilities I would have been very happy with being told they were not interested.

Would have rated them higher if their prices didnt soar so much! Although small in size, this Half Price Books location has a nice selection of everything from gift items to records- you could always find some hidden gems while rummaging. Their sale section is also great; they generally have CDs and books for as little as 1 buck! Their only con is their exaggerated mark-up on used goods. I pay $8 or more for some used CDs. Also, you dont get much revenue from selling to these guys, which gives them really high profits selling your stuff since they overprice.

Has something for everyone. Came here over the holidays and found a lot of good deals on last minute gifts. Funny thing was I wasnt looking for books. I saw some tee shirts from outside the store I thought I take a looky Loo. I found a vintage Boardgame,vintage video game, Chicago theme glass coasters, breakfast at Tiffanys coffee cup, desktop basketball gumball dispenser and some small dollar items.I dont think I paid more than $35 for everything and most items were on sale. Kinda has a wicker/Lincoln park feel without the high rent prices.

You will find in good condition best sellers and practically news books here for only a couple dollars. Its definitely one of the cheapest used book stores I have fallen upon. Although, they are starting to raise their prices a little, but you can still find great buys here. They also have a wish list so if they dont have the book you are looking for, you can put your name and number down and if and when it comes in they let you know. I recommend the store for sure!

Awesome place! You dont make much money selling but I dont mind because the prices are so low on new and used items. They have a wide selection of books, magazines, cds, vinyl, and even video games. I have found a lot of really great gifts here. This is the perfect place when youre looking for someone thats hard to shop for.

The place is great for buying used stuff at affordable prices but they are garbage with fair market prices when they buy youre stuff i took 300$ worth of blu rays they offered me $30 for it all i took same movies next door to disc replay they took about a quarter of what i had for $90

Since the death of Borders this has been my go to place for books. The selection of art books,graphic novels, and random goodness is on point. If you are a book horder (which yes is a good thing) the prices are right.

Books for half the price or much less. If theres any complaints I could think of, its about some of the customers, who dont seem to have any concept of this thing called "manners."
