We stopped by to sell 2 books that have been in the family for 3 generations. We did our homework first, researching the value of each book using multiple sources, including Abe Books and how much they have previously sold for on eBay just to name a couple. We included taking into account the condition as well as how sought after the books are. One is valued at $115, while the other $90. We know Half Price Books needs to make a profit and thought an offer of $50-75 for both was very reasonable. Yet they insulted us by offering, are you ready for this? $1! Yes, one lousy dollar. I have never been so insulted! It would have been better so simply say that they weren't interested, they already had too many used books to unload, or they already have these in inventory. How insulting to offer a measly buck for 2 books valued at over $200! We will NEVER return.
