Half Price Books Appleton

I like shopping here and have bought a lot of books for good prices over the years. Today though I brought some books in to sell. They offered me literally pennies per book when I've seen similar condition books by the same author being sold for $6-$8. That's quite the mark up if you ask me! They are getting their merchandise for almost free and then selling it for a massive profit. Honestly, it's kind of soured me to the business as a whole and I will probably never shop there again.

Such a cool concept. I come in occasionally to browse and the shop is kept up well. You can sell not just books to them, but other media items like movies, CDs, board games, and video games. However, the sell pricing feels very low. I donated a number of video games, some still packaged, and got just over 8 dollars for the whole lot. One of the games I sold to them still had a tag on it from when I purchased it and it was 8.99 then. I had hoped I would get a bit more than that. But it's still a very nice premise.

I went in looking for something specific for my grandson and came out with an armload of classic movies for me! Monty Python, Rocky Horror...and new boxes of Christmas cards all at amazing prices. I couldn't be happier. I will be back to find more movies!

I enjoy coming here to get used blue rays however I just found out I got ripped off twice. Many times I buy dvds and don't end up watching them right away. I just went to start watching the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series and found that my season 4 and season 1 box sets are missing every single disc. This is extremely disappointing. I paid about $40.00 for both these seasons combined. I would suggest to customers to inspect EVERY SINGLE DISC when buying movies and season sets. This means somebody sat there and stole each disc while walking around the store with it or it was possibly an inside job. I can no longer trust the integrity of the dvd collection here. Especially if a item is supposedly "sealed" which is a classic way of selling an empty dvd case. I would suggest half price make the effort to put cameras up in this area to prevent this from happening. I am now out the dvds and the money. For the foreseeable future, I will be using ebay to purchase blue ray dvds.
