I recently bought a PSP from one Zia Records location that was labeled as "tested" and "working."…read moreBy the time I got home and tested it properly, the original store had already closed, so I went to another open Zia location nearby for help. After testing the PSP, I found that the analog stick and HOME button do not work at all. These are major controls, so the system clearly was not fully tested before being sold. When I explained the issue at the other location, I was only offered store credit or told I could keep it. I ask if it would be possible to do a partial refund or price adjustment since I was willing to repair it myself, but they refused. I also asked if I returned it, they would at least mark the PSP's price down they said no i also asked if they would label it as having joystick issues before reselling it, and I was told no. What frustrated me most was the attitude during the interaction. The employee was dismissive and laughed while talking to me instead of trying to help resolve the issue. I understand retro electronics can have problems sometimes, but if a console is sold as "tested" and "working," basic controls like the analog stick and HOME button should function properly. I'd recommend buyers fully test used consoles before leaving the store. worker had glasses and a hat working at the counter

Inside, they have a pretty spacious setup with records neatly organized by genre and artists. Their records are priced fairly and they have records in both used and new condition. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I definitely spent a good hour or so crate digging here. I came up empty today but will definitely be back next time I am in the area!

This is a pretty interesting store…read more They have a lot of collectibles and a lot of pop figures, that's what we came in for, and found. We ran into a promotion for another item and bought it on a whim. They have fun socks, music, movies, collectibles, toys, pez, keyrings, lanyards, and other goodies that would be a fun gift for a lot of people. If you like Netflix you'd love a ton of stuff here. I thought it was a fun store to visit.

Flash forward to when it's almost the end of the 30 day trial and I see that I still had the membership after calling the store to confirm they canceled it. Ended up calling their customer service number to make sure it actually got canceled. Buyer beware if they try to pull this on you.

I've never been in the place so I can't say anything other than the following…read more I called wanting to sell a collection of 45 RPM vinyl records. I was told the buyer is there Wed. / Sun. I'm old and can't see well so before going there, about 30 miles 1 way in traffic, I decided to send an email asking if they would be interested in buying. 4 days later no response. I guess they're not interested. no response, not even, we're not buying at this time, but thanks for contacting us. Nothing. My 515 records are worth over $4000.00 but I'll sell for pennies on the dollar, all or some. If a customer isn't worth a 2-minute email response, this isn't a business I would consider reliable, trustworthy, or even shopping at.

It's a whole vibe and one that you just can't get with a bookstore that primarily sells new books. There are some items here that are kept under glass, making me think that they might be rare or valuable. Just browsing the shelves provides endless amounts of curiosity-about the stories or information that these treasures hold. If you're looking for something specific, you might be able to ask the shop keeper for assistance, or just come and see what treasures find you. You're guaranteed to find something!

Good lighting and organization. Though topics are dated. Not for romance fantasy or more contemporary fiction readers. Poor poetry and traveling section. Missing many categories...

The store was good size and honestly the only one with decent customer service skills. Unfortunately I left feeling the way I have at all the others. The selection seems to be more new than used these days for what I'm looking for anyway. They took the time to look up what I was trying to find and I appreciate that. Prices can vary depending on your finds.

Prices are usually reasonable for these one of a kind trinkets and the store was organized. No employee interacted with us while shopping or when we walked in even though there were several standing behind the counter. The cashier was friendly when we approached her though and checked us out quick. Spent $60 on a Baggu and a Snoopy air freshener. Was so tempted to purchase the last standing Sonny Angel but did not want to buy it for $20 when I bought mine for $15 at a different store... :(

I always feel like they give a really fair amount in trade credit, and somehow we always find new treasures to bring home. I especially love the board game section. It's packed with great options, though I do wish it was organized a bit more because there's so much to dig through. The kids area is wonderful too. On our last visit my daughter spent a ton of time browsing the young adult aisles and discovering new books. I only wish there was a location a little closer to us because we'd probably go even more often. Also throwing this out there... if they ever started a kids or teen book club, we would be all over that!

I like that they offer to donate anything left over, so we don't have to shlep the stuff they don't want to pay for, back home. Even though I did leave a bunch of stuff there, I did take back a box of record albums and took them to Zia Records who promptly offered $140 for them. Okay, not so promptly, but for $140 I didn't mind the wait and was happy I chose to get a second opinion.

A really great selection of all kinds of books, music, video games, and more! Everything here is community-based, with the exception of selections here and there that are brand-new. So a nice way to support buying secondhand items from Phoenix folks, being more sustainable and supporting a smaller business, and overall just a good spot to come explore! I've found lots of cool vintage magazines, vintage video games, some vinyls, and a number of books here on 19th. I definitely recommend this location!

How haven't a written a review of this place!…read more I love an establishment that presents itself as a home for the community. I walk in to Bookman's and often find displays that are Arizona focused in a way that makes you feel and know this place is home town friendly. No big box impersonal feels here! I frequent this store and stop in just because I'm passing by. As an avid reader, I read about 50 books a year, Bookman's is a great place to buy paper books at a cheaper price. My favorite part about local shops like Bookman's is how they don't shy away from displaying banned books all year long! I have to read at least one banned books a month! There's gotta be something in the banned books they don't want us to know and I'm determined to read as many as possible. Interestingly enough, this store is full of "entertainment treasures" too. Music, musical instruments and even gaming equipment can be purchased here. The only thing missing is a social lounge with a coffee bar. We'd probably go even more often if there were a coffee bar inside. Return Factor: 100%

First of all, I had no idea this place was the size of a small nation. I walked in thinking,…read more"Little antique shop, I'll just go up one aisle and down the next." Ma'am. Sir. There is no "up and down." This place is a labyrinth designed by someone who said, "What if we hid Narnia behind every dresser?" I got lost at least three times. Possibly four. At one point I genuinely forgot: What I came for, which direction I entered... who I am as a person. Every time I thought I found the "main path," I'd turn a corner and BAM! secret pocket room. Hidden alcove. Side quest unlocked. Now, to be fair, if you are someone who enjoys treasure hunting, rummaging, discovering trinkets you didn't know you needed, and time traveling, this is your Disneyland. There is stuff. So much stuff. Trinkets. Bobbles. Whatnots, galore. Things your grandma had. Things your grandma refused to have. I went in looking for one very specific item. I did not find it. I did, however, find three existential moments and mild spatial disorientation. Did I have a good time? Yes. Did I leave with what I needed? No. Did I briefly consider dropping breadcrumbs to find my way out? Also yes. Three stars because it's impressive, chaotic, and an adventure... but if you go in with a mission, be prepared to lose it. Possibly along with your sense of direction. Would return. With a map.
