Review Visit: November 6th, 2016…read more The name in all honesty should be... Endless Records. While killing time in St. Louis, MO, I decided to stop by this music store to see what they offered. Well, they offer endless vinyl to pour over. Endless cds to browse. Endless vhs tapes to get at a cheap price. They had it all and then some. Rows and rows and rows of cds, vinyls, dvds, vhs tapes. Boxes and boxes of the same all over the place. If you are claustrophobic, this store is not for you. If you are a music lover, this store is for you. If you are both... well take your chance and maybe find something cool or unique. The prices on everything seems pretty good, if not a bit cheap. Every artist I thought of, I found something from them. Even happened upon bands I haven't heard of in forever. They do take trade-ins if you are looking to offload rare music stuff or music players. Quite a great little stop if you love music or vinyl or clutter. I tried to capture the charm and the quantity of stuff available in my photos, so you can see what I am talking about.

This guy, Walter Ray is a scam artist. I paid him $100 for some autographed items on Facebook and…read morehe never shipped them. He also removed the item from Marketplace and wouldn't respond to messages. It is okay though because I now know where he lives and I will be paying him a visit to recoup my money

So much selection! Collectors paradise. Wish I had more time, will be back when in DtLouis.read more

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.

Ever be of two minds about a place…read more One, you really want to like them, but then Two... knowing they're usually NOTHING like what their store title promises you? The second part is my problem with "Half Priced Books". (At least the one just off of 170. I swear I've been to their other location but remember absolutely zilch about them overall (not a good sign for writing reviews, I know.)). I've already seen other reviews who have pointed out "DO NOT SELL YOUR BOOKS" here.. and I understand every one of those reviewers. I overheard some offers for some -standard- books and .. I get making money and reselling, but no, this deal sounded like highway robbery. Not sounding too good so far, huh? or maybe I'm just a crotchety old man who hates seeing good books get ignored just cause they're not in our "market" today. Now: I will say this.. i'm a board game and tabletop roleplaying game fanatic (particularly Palladium books), and this is one of the FEW places that ever have what I'm looking for in my roleplaying Genre. (Yes, I will buy used books to complete my collection). But let's get back to the complaints: (usually I'm a lot nicer in my reviews, but when you blow it this badly...) Until not too long ago, when i picked up a min-book i needed in which the cover price was $19.95, and someone had to have brought it in and sold it to HPB, and _maybe_ got A buck or 2 for it. HPB Sticker price: $35!!!!! Yes, read that again folks... A "half price" book shop, charging DOUBLE what the original publisher (who was still publishing the book in question, was NOT out of stock, and could be found on their webpage for cover price + s/h). So which is the lie? The price or the name of the shop? Basically a store that lies to sell? 0 Stars... TOTAL. But I will say there are two things that are going in HPB's favor: There are some books there for reasonable prices (I'm an Asimov. Clarke, Heinlein fanatic (basically SciFi) and Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie. And I finally found a couple of copies of the later Foundation series I'd been hunting for, so I had to get them while the getting was good. And then board games: again next to roleplaying games I'm a board game nut! And there are more than a few good used games there, for instance I'm a Trivial Pursuit collector (a small collection, but a collection), and I cannot see putting a near RETAIL price on a board game that's shows itself to be 45 years old, and while in good shape, the container was showing its age. As for DVDs/Vinyl - Plain and simple, (while it's nice to see Vinyl for sale), if they have something you're looking for, again there's a problem in either the name of the store or their selling policy, because everything felt "near retail". (although I guess you can say they're not "Half Price Books & Music".) Take a better chance at a regular or used record store, for the music lovers of the world. So basically as I said at the beginning: Half Priced Books Is a place that I REALLY want to like them (and do have a couple of good points, (softback books and board games) but how do you give a positive review to a store that completely ignores their own name of their store? Sorry HPB I get the point, but 1 star is all I can bring myself to give you this time around and that's because I usually err on the side of generosity. (Probably because I'm still miffed about the "twice the cover price" book I needed?)

The Novel Neighbor is a great spot to shop, browse, and find gifts…read more The store has several different areas and little nooks. I was in the children's section looking for a book for a five-year-old and there was a family with their kids' reading books while they shopped, it was so sweet. I didn't stop after I found a book, I had to look around at all the cute other stuff they carry beyond books. A St. Louis section, candles, puzzles, games. Because it was the Holiday season they had check-out downstairs. I pulled a sucker and got to choose a book wrapped in brown paper, so it was a surprise. Also got a wooden key ornament to hang on the tree, so fun. Don't forget to browse the Romance side of the store, lots of goodies there as well.

The staff was awesome too and gave us a great recommendation for dinner . If you love graphic novels, this place is worth your time to seek out. Really great.

I am so glad a record store like this exist. I first discovered them through Facebook and their…read morePunk Rock Flea Market event that happened last weekend. Being a fan of punk and metal music, I loved the idea of a place that had a majority of the genre. After going in I learned they offer so much more from rock, hip-hop and r&b and even video games, movies and gifts. It's located in the South county area so I'm not close by often but I'm glad I made the trip out there. They have some arcade style games in the front store area and in the back room, I'm not sure if they are for sale or for people to play on while shopping. I met and spoke with Riley, who was working at the time and he was personable and knowledgeable about various bands, specifically local bands which was what I am most interested in at the moment. I am looking forward to going Back and spending more time at the shop. I had my daughter with me and she got to enjoy meeting two cute kittens. So that was a plus too. One thing I want to mention is that parking was a bit confusing, I parked in a lot next to the store but I was unclear on where to park. Definitely check this place out. I highly recommend it.

I love collecting vinyl just as much as I love supporting local shops. however the small selection…read moreis perfectly fine however $70 for a vinyl that's not rare or exclusive is just robbery when other shops locally would have the same for less than $25? it just just doesn't make sense i'm sorry. the owner is pretty cold shoulder with not much to say even as I greet with a hello. such a shame because this place would have great potential with its location. cool toys and little stuff like that. but meh, prices are so high for no real reason, owner is a bit cold. hopeful for this place to change.

Am a little partial to local bookstores and my star rating reflects so compared to this…read moreestablishment's avg star. So, to sum it up - the place is cozy cramped, but organized chaotically, and am here for it. They have popular books from contemporary authors although limited in titles. They have plenty of classic novels and a wide range of specialty topics. Books are both new and used. Price is retail but you can have that instant gratification vs waiting for package ordered from online. When searching for a specific author or title, don't be afraid to look through the stacked books on the floor. Two level bookstore but most of popular interest are on the main level. Parking in rear.
