Good selection of books in well-organized categories. I always find something worth the time to browse through the shelves. Friendly staff.
This is a great place to shop for books at good prices. Don't hesitate to ask for help because the staff is always friendly and helpful.
Have patronized Half Price books for years, I stopped by today to sell a bunch of mystery books I had accumulated over the last year (I'm a voracious reader). I took in two nearly full reusable, cloth grocery bags that contained around 40 books both paperback and hardback. The books were in good condition. The associate at the buying counter told me it would be around 20 minutes. While I waited, I browsed the used mystery books and selected three from well known authors. I figured I would surely receive more than enough from selling my other books to pay for the three. They called my name and I went up to the counter and they offered me $1.00 (this is not a typo, one whole dollar). They explained that they were getting a lot of mysteries and that was all they could offer. Said "supply and demand" as if that said it all. i then said, if they getting so many mysteries, shouldn't I see a corresponding reduction in the price of books they were selling? They replied it didn't work that way and made sure to tell me again "supply and demand". I took the dollar and went to pay for the 3 I had selected. The cost for the three books was $16.21! I asked to speak to the manager. The assistant manager came up and basically told me the same thing. So....based on what they told me, I can help them out by never selling them another book again. This should help reduce the "flood" of mysteries being sold. I also told the asst. Mgr that I wouldn't return to this or any other Half Price book store. I'll just stick with my Kindle. What a ripoff! They lost a customer of 30 plus years.
I feel your pain Mark. This place has been buying back books I buy from them for $5-$10 for an average of .35 cents, basically 3 of my books for $1 when I bought them from their store just a few months ago. So, I went to another location and was offered considerably more than McKinney's store. They're being greedy because they are the farthest hpb located North of Dallas and I happen to live 2 mins behind their store. Just because of principal I won't ever buy from them or sell to them anymore. And on top of that they have 2-3 very rude goth looking hard core drug using employees with bad attitudes and aggressive personalities. The young brown hair guy looks strung out on some serious drugs and acts like it too. That place needs new employees, all the punk rock kids need to go.
I love Half - Price Books. They have a wide selection at reasonable prices where you're sure to find something for everyone. The selection is ever changing since people can sell their used books here and browse for new ones as they're waiting for their appraisal. Great choice for book lovers.
