They dont give enough for your books. I sold a stack of books and got 3.45 back. Now their selection is amazing, and their staff are super friendly, but when it comes to selling books, I was not happy. They do have a great selection, and I will be back to buy stuff.
Wonderful place to get away and relax! They have it all.... books, paper or hardback, games, toys, movies and more to offer! The kids area is set up nicely to let your child walk freely and explore the book selections from toddlers on up to tweens! Exceptional customer service whether on the phone or needing a little direction! The vast array of books and movies are overthrow so you have to choose your sections to visit! Theyve mapped this store out exceptionally well and always have employees organizing to help the customers. Ive never had any luck selling books at this location, which is unfortunate, but can go to a sister store and do so much better! Excellent way to relax and shop without the big crowd loud noise!
Great selection of media, not just books.The staff has always been helpful and willing. If you want a book they dont carry theyve always gone out of their way to see if theres an option to get it. Great service by people who care about books.
I love this place. Its like a magical library of forgotten books that you never know what youre going to get!! Odds are you will find a FEW copies of popular series for MORE than half the original price, so dont let the old carpet turn you away. They move stock all the time and even have TONS of comic books, records, and games! They have sections there for everyone and EVEN have french/chinese/japanese/etc books if u know where to look. Like I said: magical
I go and buy a set of books, for a months read... awesome place! Great selection, great prices~ nice people 😄😃📚
Dont expect to get very much if you decide to sell your stuff here.I sold them a huge lot of CDs, some records and books. They gave me $4.75.If I wasnt in such dire need of some quick cash, I wouldve walked out the door.With the prices I saw on their CDs for sale, I felt SO ripped off its not even funny, in fact it was sickening.I will never go back.
Half price is by far my favorite place to be. This visit was just as great as all of my others. I found some new books of interest to read that I will be back for. They were pleasantly displayed to catch my eye and what a beautiful job they did at it. Each employee that I passed or had the pleasure of speaking to was friendly and helpful and the store as always was clean and tidy. As always I look forward to my next visit :)
I could spend hours in here. They have a great selection and the staff is extremely friendly. You can also check the inventory of each store on their website.
A place to get rid of old books. Dont take in more than a couple of boxes at a time, and expect to stay there while your books are evaluated. They do not pay much for anything but books by famous authors. At least it is a way to get rid of a lot of paper. I hope it is recycled.If you still like to read real books, it is a place to get them at used prices, however Goodwill would most likely be less cost. Half Priced Books also has 35 RPM records.
The bible here are wonderful and the books are in great shape and they help you find books in there stores and others
Great selection of used books, CDs, vinyl, DVDs and Blu Rays at a reasonable price. I’m always scouting out any networking or tech related books they have and they carry a decent selection.
I am always impressed with the quality of the merchandise they have.
This location was incredibly nice and thanked me for selling them books. Very cool store, with lots of books and other items for everyone. They were even open mid-snowstorm, and were able to buy my books. Thank you for the great service!
Came in to sell books. The place was crowded. Half not wearing masks. Told clerk we would come back to get a quote on the used books. Clerk said we could not leave while waiting for a quote and said it would take 40 min to one hour. More unmasked people came in and we took our books and left.
My family had the rudest treatment at this store today. One employee was bullying us, getting right in our face... less than 2 away! One of my grandsons was not wearing a mask, but he had politely explained that he was medically exempt. That didnt go well, the employee came over 3 times in 5 minutes forcing us to leave the store. I was shocked by their rude and poor customer service. Ive been going here for many years and couldnt believe they were so insensitive. There was only 1 other customer in the whole 8,000 building and we were carefully far away from anyone... until he came to bully us. I wont be returning.
It was nice and organized inside however they didnt have the type of book I needee
Friendly, knowledgeable staff helped me find the book that I was looking for.
Great books for a great price. Too Many choices and not enough time
So, I spend way too much time in Half-Priced Book Stores 😅 I love to glance through each of the sections for hidden gems. I routinely find great buys, especially in the gaming and sci-fi sections. Most books are reasonably priced and are in great shape. I definitely prefer going here and giving used books a new home rather than buying at B&N.
Its great that this place still exists in this location! Friendly knowledgable staff. And plenty of space to keep distance.
Always walk out of the store with something. Staff is always nice and helpful.
Books and everything else are in excellent condition. Selection is amazing and the store is well staffed with friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful employees. They will even network to find books they might not have on hand. GREAT STORE!!!
Great selection of books and more would have stayed there all day if I could.
This place was so awesome! We purchased $200 worth of books between my best friend & myself♥️
Find way to much when go here. We always stop when in the area. Able to find unique books and get more for my buck.
I love the childrens books section here. They also have a nice selection of jigsaw puzzles. I could spend hours.
Books and lots of them...affordable too. Plus a good staff.
Excellent place to drop off books your are not going to read anymore, and somebody want it
It was just alright, okay and satisfactory.! Just addequate.! Just about right.!?
This is the first time I have visited a Half Price Books. I took some books in for sale. Call ahead to check hours for buying back books. They were very fast. Then gave me a slip of paper to take to the cashier to use as credit against a purchase or get cash. A great process. The book selection is amazing, and they also have records, DVDs, and a few new books and games. I will definitely be shopping here in the future.
The employees here are amazing! I called about a book so after waiting a quick minute they returned with options and they even one step more and took payment over the phone and I was able to get after work. I will definitely be returning here for the service that they provided happily.
Love this bargin book store dedicated to giving books new life! East to navigate and full of many books for the avid reader. Easily get lost in time browsing the various titles. Cheerful and helpful staff. Go today!
Never the same store twice. The books change as people bring books in to sell to the. Also fair business price for books. I think it is based on how many they have and how many they are selling.
It was quiet and offered a wide selection of books. The workers were kind and patient.
Do you love books? Do you wanna not pay full price ? Then you would will love HPB
Always can find a good deal in the clearance section
Nice staff.. big children section. Very clean store. Its my favorite half price books in the area!
I could spend all day in here, Wonderful selection of books for everyone!
Masks required and I’m done supporting this communism
Im sorry I didnt catch the mans name, but the man working today was super helpful and knowledgeable of where everything is. Enjoyed our first ( but not last) trip shopping here!
Prices are only fair, some more expensive. Same book, the price is almost doubled if you buy it online than buy it in local Half Price store. Buy back price is very low. Sold 10 almost new magazines, only get $2.25. The store in Olathe is selling the old magazines for $1 each. Note: the store only use black marker to cross out your name and address, not secure enough, suggest you cut of the address label before you sell it.
I love this place! My sister introduced me to this place and the prices are great for books and dvds! So many to choose from.
Great place to sell your old books and videos, reasonable price paid. And find books and videos at fantastic prices. Staff are dedicated to help you.
If they dont have a book youre looking for theyll look up other locations and have it sent to the location you shop
I allways get something when Im here, decent book selection. Allways a little busy but not too busy. Good selection of scifi books that has a decent rotation whenever I check the place out (usually once every 3 months).
Nice store. Clean and has helpful employees. Buys books, but at a cheap price. But you get more than if you just donated them. Plus the ones they dont want, they donate for you.
Great place to find deals on new and like new books!
This place has terrible customer service skills. They were rude and low balled me on a book buy. If your looking for a cold rigid atmosphere then you will find plenty at half price books in overland Park. With half price customer service and half price friendliness. I think a zero star rating should be an option for places just like overland Park half price book store. Maybe the staff should read a book about common courtesy customer service and friendliness. Thank you for a horrible book buy and barter experience.
Found the book I wanted.
The store is enforcing mask wearing and has multiple signs throughout stating social distancing rules. I felt extremely safe going in there and browsing for some more reads while being cooped up. Staff is also very friendly, could not recommend enough.
Friendly cashier. Decent prices.
Fun fact, they have alot more than just books! Really enjoyed this place and the staff. Love the pricing as well!! Will be back for sure!
Very courteous and friendly.
This Half Price Books is an excellent location. They always have a nice selection at great prices. All the employees are prompt and friendly. I love their coupon programs as well.
Im so glad we have this store! Always kind help, good selections, and clean.
Its possible to browse Half Price Books for hours. Guaranteed there is something to suit everyone.You can sell your old books and Compact Discs (not the best selection in town, but some downright proper gems), donate your old magazines that you forgot were in a box in the garage until just now....Searching for inspiration? Make it easy on yourself and visit this joint.
I love Half Price Books. Its always fun to go to Half Price Books with my parents.
Loved this store. I missed it a lot since I moved away. Its a bookstore, a lot good solid books but its hands-down type of books. Used. Have extra cool junkies toys. Thank to one of employer for let me in and browse like old time. Thank you!
One of my favorite stores ever! Relaxed atmosphere, excellent prices, and wide variety of items! Books, movies, records, boardgames, notebooks, ect. Love it!
Huge selection. They had a specific title shipped there from a far away location to save me the drive to spindependence. And their discount section was very large. Theres always something interesting to browse buy and keep the local bookstore alive! We cant just give all our money to amazon, people!
I like this place, but it is over priced on items...I try and support it, but when you have hardcovers without the sleeves and charging $1-$2 less then what can be ordered for new it is hard.
Always wonderfully organized. I love this location!
I loved Carrie, she was amazing and super helpful
Whats not to love? Awesome selection and can ship from any of their stores for $2. Great place to spend a few hours looking around.
Went to look at record collection, not very good.
A great selection available. Good place to find sequels in any series you are reading.
I absolutely love this place. Legit I am happiest around books and they never disappoint. They always have a wide selection of books and always seem to know which set I need because I always leave with one from the clearance shelf that Ive been missing. Clever people I think... or magic!
Love looking at books and finding bargains
Good Covid protocols. Nice selection. Rare books included ;)
Helpful & knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be back!
Very insightful to know we can still buy and sell books. Staff is very friendly here.
I always enjoy roaming the shelves for a new-to-me book. Great prices, and I especially appreciate their collection of books in the German language. Found a novel that I cant wait to read!
(I wasnt able to take any photos when I was at the Half Price bookstore when I was in their bookstore, but I was able to find a used book that I was looking for...)Hi there, I was looking for a used book called A Dogs Way Home and Im so glad that I was able to finally locate a great copy of that book!!. I tried check out this book from the public library near Overland Park, KS, but I really wanted to own this book free and clear... so I really hoped that I would be able to find this book from a Half Price Books and I did! If youre looking for a used book, CD, record, then please consider giving this retail store a chance. There are many, many Half Price Books across the country, so give Half Price Books a chance to help you out.Half Price Books has a website address, but Im not sure what that web address is for now. (If youre on your personal computer check out Half Price Books on your own!)
I absolutely love this store!
Good selection, but they pay little.
Great day for reading
Wow, what a great bookstore! Huge selection of used books and all at good prices. Lots of DVDs also and records too. Great kids section, and even art supplies. You can sell your books to them also, and while you shop theyll give you an estimate on how much they will give you!
Great selection of books at an even better price. Books, CDs, art, toys and more. Give it a try. Cant find what you want just ask the folks there are great.
Granddaughter says it was awesome and she wants to live there. Staff was very polite and helpful. Book selection was great.
Our first venture back since the lock down! It was very clean and really we stocked! The staff was helpful as always!
Ive been looking online for a book that isnt sold many places. They found 1 that can be sent from another store. Do pleased
My daughter loves the comic selection. There is always a treasure to be found.
Nice clean and open space
Fifty fifty whether you find what you want, but youre always guaranteed to find something!
They got a little of everything theres books, vinyl records, movies... Everyone seemed helpful
Very good selection of books. Even has rare books. I liked it better than other, more well known bookstores because it seemed to me that there was a much bigger selection. I will definitely be back.
My family and I really enjoy Half Price Books. We always find something for everyone.
Its always enjoyable to go in and find a good read coming out with a stack of books that only cost me $15. Reading all of those and coming back the next time as vigorous and excited as the first time I stepped foot in one of these doors.
Cheap, gently used books! First time to this location, but for a bookworm, whats not to love about this place? Store is clean, shelves and aisle signs are labeled to make browsing easy. The staff is always friendly and in my experience, happy to make a recommendation if asked. The only potential downside is that you may have to check in every once in awhile if youre looking for a specific title as a majority of the inventory is used books brought in and sold by other customers.
Always very helpful and able to get a few dollars for my old books
This chain has affordable books! We dont have these where we live, so we try to hit up as many as we can when they are near! This location is in a strip mall and has a good selection. You can find almost any book. They also have an online store and their staff is helpful.
Lots of fun books for kids and a decent selection otherwise. The kids section has places you can sit with your kiddos. Lots of fun games and toys too!
They have a wide selection of books to choose from that will satisfy all interests and age groups. HPB is a much more affordable alternative to Barnes and Noble. You can leave with a stack full of books and not feel like you spent too much. I love that you are able to sell books for cash. They may not give you much money back, but the convenience makes up for it, especially if you were planning on donating the books anyway.
