My Review by elizabethk1373513002 via Citysearch on 8/15/2013

I've never had a bad experience at half price books. I've sold many books to them over the ten years I've shopped/sold there and have had no problems. The only thing I wouldn't bother selling to them are magazines, since it's not worth the…

My Review by kattyk via Citysearch on 8/15/2013

I honestly do not understand the criticism of this store. Frankly I think people vastly overestimate how much the books they?re selling are worth. I?ve asked employees what to bring in and what not to bring in based on the needs of the…

Do not sell your books to this store by dzierde via Citysearch on 2/9/2012

Do not take your books to this store to sell. I brought in a limited edition, autographed, hardcover copy of Under The Dome by Stephen King and was offered $1. I took my book home with me. I refused to give my book away for one dollar. …

A tragedy of a shop... by HippieLuvin via Citysearch on 3/27/2011

Had a few books to sell and walked up to the counter. Two employess were standing there sorting books. I waited patiently for thirty seconds before clearing me throat and saying "Hi." The young chap with brown hair and yellow eyes just…

Surprisingly bad experience by cbearg via Citysearch on 10/28/2010

I like buying books here, but selling -- not so much. I recently brought in about 100 books -- most new within the last five years. Lots of expensive coffee table books, best selling fiction, cool Scandinavian mysteries. Their offer: less…

Selling them books is a ripoff by blogalicious via Citysearch on 2/26/2009

Half-Price Books may be a fine place to buy books, but it's a total rip-off to sell them books. I took 425 children's books -- the vast majority in EXCELLENT CONDITION -- and, after carting them in and waiting a half an hour, they offered…

Half Price Books by ROXANNE S via Insider Pages on 9/1/2006

Half Price Books is one of my favorite book stores in the Twin Cities of Mpls/St. Paul. The name says it all..the books are much less expensive than regular stores. Many of the books are used...gently, and therefore the reduced price. The…

Excellent resource for cheap books! by Marcia S via Insider Pages on 12/27/2005

I love this place! They always have something I'm looking for, be it a used book, magazine, or CD. The staff are friendly, and they offer pretty good prices if you are looking to sell your own books there. They buy books daily, so you…

Inventory could be better by Kelly J via Insider Pages on 11/9/2005

I realize that places that carry used items depend on what the general population brings to them, but in general, their inventory could be better. I've seen their book buying desk and their discard piles - I see beautiful condition popular…
