Half Price Books — Local services in Fremont

First time visiting this store. We were visiting Fremont and after only having big box bookstores to choose from at home, this was a breath of fresh air. Enjoyed browsing the aisles and seeing the various selection of Vinyl, CD's, books, and other collectibles for sale in the store. Though we did not buy anything this time, we plan on coming back and bringing some things to sell or trade and pick up some items we saw. I really enjoyed this store. Came back 2 weeks later with books and old comics to sell. I know the value of the Disney comics I was selling. Including Dell Giant, Zorro, and other 1950 era. In FN/NM. There were others in good to very good. Only one with cover issues. In all the top comics offer were very low. Even though the buyer said he would really like the better comics. They will only pay a higher price if they are already graded. They are not qualified to grade to pay a good price for these types of comics. I would go to a comic shop. Still good place for...

I absolutely love this place! It seems like they have everything! Books under every topic of course, but they also have audio books on CD and cassette, they have music, games, puzzles, and other crafts. And they even buy these kinds of things when you bring them in. They won't buy everything, but they donate what they don't buy to other programs. But, if you want back what they don't buy, you can request that ahead of time. Prices for your items is not great, but you would be hard pressed to sell these things for better anywhere else. This area does not have any new book stores *such as Borders), do it is wonderful to have place to go and browse for books. Most items are in good condition. I rarely ever see things in bad condition and I'm pretty picky, so that says a lot. And if you are looking for a specific book, you can call ahead to see if they have it, and they'll tell you what condition it's in and even hold it for you to give you time...

I brought 1 box of books yesterday and was given 4.12. retail for the books were over 200.00. i was advised the books would not sell fast enough for them and they needed books to sell fast in order to bring back employees. i came from Sunnyvale and it was not worth my time or gas for 4.12. i know they will make 200 - 300 dollars for the books and paid me about 4-5 cents a book that will sell over time. plus some dvds. i was given some flack that i could always take the books back. so i was paid 4-5 cents a book. that the store will charge 4.00 for. i think donating to Goodwill or the library would be better and we would not waste our time. they have no respect for their customers and steal from them when they pay so low for books. i would have felt better if they were able to pay 25.00 for the lot. i understand that they have to make a profit. but i think i'll donate my books next time and saving my...
