I love Half Price books and was excited to have them open a store in Rockford. Boy was I disappointed when I found out it was an "Outlet" store. I was more disappointed when I visited. Rockford could really use a great used book/CD/DVD store but instead Half Price books sees Rockford as an uneducated slum where it can only get rid of the trash it cant sell at its "real" stores. Shame on you Half Price Books! (two years later) The Half Price books outlet is now gone and they have moved a block or so away next to Gufftasons furniture. They are not quite a Full Half Price Books but they are also not an outlet anymore. They have a much larger selection but they dont purchase books CDs or DVDs and blame the city of Rockford for not being able to purchase materials. This makes the "full" store much weaker than other stores in the chain..Everything in stock has to come from a different store. That means you still get leftovers and no fresh merchandise from local customers. There are other used CD and DVD stores in Rockford so their excuse for not buying materials is weak at best. Shame on half-price books for not putting a full store in Rockford

A great place to get cheap books and movies! I visited one of the regular stores that were all an hour away and was just highly disappointed at their high prices! I mean I could get the books and movies at a retail store for the same price they were selling them for! But this outlet store is by far amazing! They have great deals like Dollar Days and Fill-A-Bag events which are a great way to make a steal! This outlet store is by far my favorite!

Great selection always arriving with even better prices. And make sure you sign up for the mailer Club weather address or email, they have great deals every so often , for instance tomorrow everything is $1. They recently had a special $30 to fill one big bag. I managed to fit: 51 video games, 30 Dvds, and 10 video game books in one bag!!

I usually wait for their "Everythings a Dollar Sale"(a couple of times a year), to stock up on DVDs, CDs, and reading material. Only complaint; while material is organized by subject, it is not alphabetically organized. If you are looking for a specific author/artist/title, plan on spending some time there.

Oh my ,the DEALS. I love this place. And being right by where I work,I can always stop by. Only 4 stars, because I think they should have some more bookshelves. Good be because of budget, but it would definitely make things look a bit more organized.

Place is a rip off compared to the old location. Granted they have cool stuff like vinyls but all there dvds and books used to be reasonable now they are overpriced in my opinion. Disc replay used to be my second choice now it is my go to.

Prices have doubled a used book in the clearance section is $3 We made the 2 hour drive to check out the new location but the prices are really high! Definitely not an outlet anymore

After a brief closure, theyve reopened in a larger space (very close to their old location), but with much higher prices. Now, theyre just another used book store. Disappointing.

Yes its the outlet, but still great for cheap books. Good overturn, quality and selection. You always leave with something.
