    Finally made it here after seeing this place in a TV ad. Came with a friend and we had a great time…read morejust browsing around. The space is really big and packed with records, DVDs, CDs, you name it. Everything is labeled pretty well but it can definitely feel overwhelming just because of how much there is. The good news is the staff is super friendly and easy to approach, so don't hesitate to ask them for help or something specific. I was also surprised by how much international stuff they carry. They even had a recent Kpop album from a group I like and I did not expect them to have it in stock. Overall just a really fun place to come to with friends, flip through some records, and maybe find something you weren't expecting. Would go back!

    I was looking for a throwback record and I knew this would be the place to find it. I checked…read moreonline first which they said it was available but I also called to confirm. Not only did they have it available but it was priced well too. The staff was very friendly and this place is huge. Highly likely that whatever you are looking for, they'll have it here. My only issue would be parking. I was lucky to find a spot in front but usually it's busy in the loop so get make sure you are good with walking. Still a great location with all the other shops around. I will definitely return as my kids are into vinyl records now and would like a few of their own.

    It's a pretty neat store. Not an antique mall... a curated store. I got the feeling that everything…read morecame from a long ago estate sale in University City or Clayton. Various animal-related pieces (as in taxidermy and fur, not as in ceramic Persian cats). Staff left me alone to shop the 2... 3? 4? rooms. These rooms are pretty full. Give yourself some time and consider leaving with a sitter any little kids who would touch and break things. Minus one star because I filled out the "buying" form on the website. I had some items I wanted to see whether they'd be interested in. No one contacted me. It's fine if my stuff isn't of the type or quality that goes in your store, but I'm clearing out a late family member's possessions and I took some time to upload photos share with The Brass Alligator, and even a "thanks, but no thanks" would have been nice. Not a big deal.

    Worst estate sale experience I've had…read more The first day was overcrowded to the point of being uncomfortable -- way too many people packed inside with no control. The second day, they had people standing outside for over an hour with no communication or sense of urgency. Pricing was completely out of touch. Charging $1 per stem for tiny Dollar Tree florals (not even a bouquet) is honestly absurd. What really pushed this into unacceptable territory was the pricing on half-price day. I was quoted $900 for about half a car full. After checking the tags myself, it should have been closer to $400 -- or around $200 with the discount. That kind of discrepancy is not a small mistake. Between the lack of organization, long waits, and questionable pricing, this felt like a very poorly run sale at best -- and misleading at worst. I won't be back.

    Half Price Books is the best place I take the books and media as you thin out your collection…read more (Dunaway Books and Hammond's Books have failed to return communication and Left Bank Books' hours don't work for me.) That being said... you get very little money for what you bring in. Much less than other used bookstores offer. I know the stores need to make a profit. I don't expect that the inventory will get 30% of the asking price. But 20% or even 15% would be nice. Am I getting that? I think not. At Half Price Books, you don't know what you're getting for each item. How it worked in the past: Bring books to the counter. Wait to be paged. Return to see 2 (or 3?) groups of stacked books. Staff make a point of saying "These are the books we want. Those are the books we don't want." The "don't want" group is larger most of my visits. Staff offer to donate/recycle (read: trash) the books for you. Formerly (early 2020s) you could take accept the offer on the wanted group and take the donate group to your preferred nonprofit. How it worked about year ago: Though staff have your books separated into different groups, the offer is on all of the books, including the books they will donate/trash. Once the books are on the counter, you can't take a single book back without refusing the offer. You must take all the books back. A staff member told me that if there are some books I want to take elsewhere, I should put them in 2 different groups so I can have different offers. Hmmm. How it works now: You can't take any of the books back, even if you tell them in advance. Staff say they won't tell you which ones are the wanted/unwanted though after their review, the books sure seem to be in different groups. When you ask about this, they say this has *always* been the policy, and that they only deviated from it during the covid pandemic. (Then that was not *always* the policy, was it?) I imagine the books groups are something like of: sell here, sell at a different HPB location, donate, trash. If some of these books are going to be thrown away or donated, why not give them to the owner? It should be less work for the staff. So it's imperfect. This is as good as it gets for people hoping to unload of a few hundred dollars brick-and-mortar resell value in books for a little cash. Shopping here: I rarely buy books, journals, games, media and the other items sold here. When I want to buy something particular that I think will be here, Half Price Books is one of the places I shop. Buying a used book locally by a company that is based out of state is still better than buying from Amazon. I can usually find some books to bring for them to review while I shop.

    Always have the best experiences here. Half Price Books has books, boardgames, DVDs, Video games…read moreand so much more for sale. They have a great selection of books and everything is so well priced. The staff is incredibly sweet and helpful. I have purchased many books here and will be back for more.

    This place is terrible. This is a vintage resale shop where people can bring things in to sell that…read moreAvalon then turns around and makes a profit from. We have a business with a similar model where I'm from and I actually like it a lot. Why hate on this place? Several reasons. 1. No clearance. At all. My hometown resale store has a dollar rack and a big section with markdowns so I find something at a reasonable price pretty much every time I go. 2. Rude employees. I get tired of stick-thin wannabe models in clothes four sizes too big for me giving me dirty looks when I walk in to one of these "curated" stores in The Loop. 3. Bad organization. You can barely move around in here and forget pulling stuff off the racks! It's not worth the frustration of trying to dig through these tightly-packed racks like a dog burying a bone. They had a bunch of AliExpress junk cluttering up the jewelry and accessories. What a bore. It also wasn't very clean!

    Super fun, quirky thrift shop. Lots of cute, retro stuff. I like to shop here for costume ideas…read morearound Halloween, too. Or just to browse around and not necessarily buy anything. You can definitely find some great conversation starters here. It can get really packed and congested in here on the weekends. Also, you can't try on clothing (at least I think you can't?) which makes it difficult to shop since everything is so unique, it's hard to tell if it will actually fit. Pricing is about average for this type of shop, some things definitely overpriced but if you browse enough you can find a good deal.
