I had a few books that I could've sold online for 20 bucks or more and I literally got $1.13 for them and some items I didn't get anything for my items and they took them anyways and on the paper I requested it shows zero cash value. If that's the case then they should give our items back and not just automatically tag them to put out on the floor. They need to rethink their system. If they want to buy an item they need to set it aside and give us a list of hay we buy these items for this amount are you OK with it . Not just assume hey yeah we can go ahead and take this item they don't care and we give them zero for it or $.19 trade-in value. I also mentioned when I got there whatever you guys don't buy from me I'll just take back. They did have some items, most of my items since I brought three bins of movies and video games and books that they did not want. I guess they assumed I didn't want them I said yes I want them back. I asked for a printout of what I sold so I can remove them from online if I had them posted. The guy said oh we don't do that. I said you don't keep track of what you're purchasing from me? He said oh yeah OK and printed out this list and I wish I would've actually looked at it and realized a lot of items they took I got zero for they just took for free. I was not donating items to them nor did I say I was gonna donate items to them. I did buy $30 worth of stuff here (3stuffed animals and a book). I could've got $31 in cash or $70 store credit so I used $30 store credit and got $20 cash back. So I was really hoping for a lot more because I had hundreds of DVDs I just didn't want to take the time to post them online because it's time consuming. But it's just really disappointing only getting literally nothing snd them taking my items and some items maybe a dollar if Im lucky. When I got home realized when I went through the list that they took my Xbox 360 games and movies I literally got nothing for them that kind of pisses me off because I was trying to make money and some of these were worth a decent amount. One of the NEW Xbox games online is worth $25 and they literally just took it and gave me nothing for it . So I definitely will not be selling to them ever again. If they weren't gonna give me any money for my items then they should be giving them back to me.

Out on a day date downtown and wanted to stop at a new-to-me bookstore within a short drive. Bear…read moreDen (punny and fabulous name) is in such a gorgeous, historic area of town. It is also perfectly situated a few doors down from Treetop Coffee Shop. Not only does Bear Den allow coffee in the shop, but said they encourage the combo. It is a somewhat small shop with ample space between aisles, perfectly sorted and organized genre sections and a few cozy reading chairs throughout. I especially liked the staff picks area and the local Knoxville shelf. Co-owner, Taylor, was welcoming, friendly, and gave great book recommendations. I loved hearing more about their biz journey. Bear Den frequently hosts authors who will do readings, activities, etc. and they host other adventures for the local community, which Taylor says has embraced them with open arms. He also mentioned that you can request books to them for purchase if there's something you've been eyeing that they don't yet have in-store. We walked out with one book for our kids that quickly has become the house favorite (Don't Hug Doug: (He Doesn't Like It)) and perfectly describes our youngest child. Can't wait to stop back in for more book treasures. Highly recommend, y'all!

We always enjoy stopping in when we are in Knoxville. The selection is interesting and varied with…read morenew books arriving all the time. This shop is more of a collector's paradise than a modern bookshop which sets it apart. You are sure to find a special gift for the bibliophile or a tomb worthy of a permanent spot on your shelf. The staff are friendly and engaging, very easy going. There is no intimidation and you are welcomed to look around and pull books. Children are also welcomed and there are books downstairs for them. Plenty of seating and a comfortable atmosphere. There is a conference room downstairs which may be for rent. It would be a very cool place to meet. Must check out this shop when you are in the area. The books are priced fairly and meet a wide range of budgets.

I did end up buying a book for my son from an old whaler story (not moby dick lol). Some Americans saved some Irish political prisoners held in Australia by the British. Good story. And my comedian husband was trying to be serious reading a news paper about separation of church and state from Ben franklins time and the type setting had f instead of s (on purpose). So of course he read it out loud to me with the wrong f's and we laughed for about 5 minutes straight. They had good tea at the store too. Great atmosphere and cozy. Newer books available down stairs. We read for about an hour. Was fun & we highly recommend the place.

Most of the books were gone and the associates couldn't help me find the book I was looking for.

My son picked up a nice tight paperback of A Catcher in the Wry (couldn't convince him to choose The Catcher Was a Spy instead, sadly).

I told my son, "Let's get a gift card for your teacher quick and then we'll be out of here." 45 minutes later, I responded to my child in only grunts, as my attention was sucked in by the clearance kid section, discounted Christmas cards, and of course, the large selection of stocking stuffer-esque gifts near the registers. So many fun things to be seen and read in this store. I mistakenly thought this was a used book store, but it is moreso like a Barnes and Noble with an arguably better selection and pricing. I was a bit bummed that they don't have a free reward program, but instead a paid annual membership program that offers discounts and coupons. I may have considered joining this, but we are mostly a library family, so it wouldn't be worth the cost for us. I will be back and can't wait to explore by myself sometime soon. I think I could spend hours here.
