    At least cover the original cheaper price...lol

    This place is a lot of fun but it's the most expensive "Half-Price" Books I've ever been to...almost nothing is less than $10 and I found several books that are cheaper on Amazon than in the store. What's up with that? That being said, I still always have a good time there.

    adorable & only fiddy cent

    My friend and i are looking for some positive stability in our life. We also live an hour apart and are always looking for fun ways to get together. We decided to start a little mini book club. We've thought about books we've wanted to read as well as google searches of popular books to read in your 20's. Our first pick is Gone Girl. We're excited to read some of the book, meet for breakfast, coffee or girl dates and discuss it. I looked online at a site that charge $7 for the book + $6 shipping. I also checked Target which had the book for $12. Then i remembered Half Price Books because i looked at cookbooks here before. I stopped here while in north hills running errands. Sure the parking may be difficult (ive seen worse) but the books seriously are half off (paperpacks, doesnt include new releases) Gone Girl was listed at $10 on the back of book( publishers price). At checkout, it came to $5. I also bought The 5 Love Languages for under $8. Also, the 2 bookmarks i purchased were adorable and only 50cents. Two books and 2 bookmarks for $14? DEAL! The staff helped me find my book and also chatted with me at checkout. Im excited to purchase more books for here.

    There's little that can be done about it, if anything, but it's definitely not as cut and dried as the lot at the Robinson location.

    I tagged along with some friends to visit this store, and honestly didn't expect to find anything…read more But I left with two items, a CD and a DVD, that I was excited to find. They have a pretty extensive selection of CDs, DVDs, albums, video games, and memorabilia at a wide range of price points. I especially enjoyed browsing the large selection of TV DVD box sets. Prices seem pretty good for the condition of the used items. The CD I purchased was $10, which at first glance seemed kind of high, but a quick search on Amazon showed me it was a pretty good deal. They also have a rewards program that's free to sign up for and can earn you a discount on future purchases. The employees are very friendly and helpful, and seem very knowledgeable about the products. The only not so great thing about shopping the store is that the majority of the products are kept in locked cases, apparently as much for organizational purposes as to deter theft according to an employee I overheard discussing it with another customer. The employees are happy to unlock whatever cases you need and patiently give you the time to read the packaging and decide if you want to purchase an item or not, but it can make you feel rushed to make a decision once the case is unlocked and they're waiting for you to decide before they re-lock it. And if the store is busy, you might have to wait a bit for an employee to be free and able to help you. Overall though, a fun place to browse and maybe pick up something to add to your media collection.

I paid $80 for tailoring (which was the same price as the dress itself) and the work was not even completed properly. It still had the same issues I came in with. To make matters worse, the dress was not ready on the agreed-upon date. I was told it would be ready an hour after opening, but when I arrived, I was told to come back in 1-2 hours. Because I had a meeting and couldn't keep driving back, my boyfriend went to pick it up later, only to be forced to wait another hour while they finished the work in front of him. It was clear they didn't even start on the dress until the morning of the pickup (very much rushed). The owner was not at all apologetic for wasting our time, and at that point, I didn't even trust them to fix the remaining issues before my graduation. There are definitely better tailors in Pittsburgh with fairer pricing and better time management. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.
