Went in there on Tuesday cause I went to hang in LA for bit with my family wanted to go to a another store to sell some stuff but found it was closed so I thought I try my luck to sell some stuff or least tried to at Book off guy behind the counter tells me they don't buy prebuiilt model kits which I find just odd since I have seen them sell prebuiilt kits before and not to mention everything thing in their is mostly used items,lots of figures,statues,key chains,lots of it heck a big ole box just full of miscellaneous vinyl figures just piled on but sure this a "policy" I guess
When I sold my two kits that I sold I was least expecting $50-60 at least instead for what I sold I got $32 honestly should've just kept the kits and sold it to somewhere else cause seeing how they sell things honestly a big joke in some regards the Book off thats located in my neighboring town is even a bigger rip off completely ludicrous prices for a lot of the stuff they have bought from other folks some of the stuff I'll admit some of it is within reason but then you got stuff that is highly beyond logical reasoning went to the one in my.hometoen and saw them selling a use Nintendo Switch for the same price as if it was brand new

Could be worth a visit if any of those things interest you but it's probably not a place I'd visit again. Not because it's bad, but the selection is sparse and I'm not...
Read moreBook Off in LA is pure chaos in the best way possible. It's packed with all kinds of random cool stuff - manga, comics, used books, collectible cards, anime figures, keychains, pins, old video games, DVDs, and a ton of other nostalgic junk you didn’t know you wanted until you saw it.
The store has that slightly messy vibe, but that’s part of the charm. You never know what you're gonna find - sometimes it's rare Pokémon cards, sometimes it’s a Sailor Moon stuff or a Game Boy from the 90s.
Even if you don’t plan to buy anything, it’s always fun to walk around and dig through the shelves. Great place for impulsive finds or just killing time when you're...
