DVD and BOOKS HALF PRICE — Local services in Paris

As soon as you walk inside, the nasty smell hits you. It’s really gross and I literally felt like I was in a Hoarders episode. There are just piles of books and cds and records EVERYWHERE. No organization whatsoever. My husband couldn’t even walk past the front because it’s so tightly packed in there. I ventured inwards a little until I realized the floors were littered with crumbs, scraps, dirt and dead bugs. There were also old food containers thrown on the dirty piles of junk. I was too scared to touch anything. Just about everything in there was moldy. We were told records were $4 a piece and then I go to pay and the guy charged $5 a piece instead and if there were two vinyls in an album, he charged $10. We bought stuff because we didn’t want to be rude and tried giving it a chance. The guy seemed nice but we felt like we were ripped off and we had to wash our hands immediately after.

It smelled like rats. I’m not a germophobe, but this place was so nasty that I was leary of touching anything. I was in and out in about 2 minutes, if I even stayed that long. I was also put-off by the dirty old recliner and blanket near the back door. It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere. I don’t see how this place passes the city fire inspection. It’s too bad so many people here are giving great reviews for Half Price Books without realizing they’re reviewing the wrong place. It’s also too bad the store owner does nothing to correct...

Walked in with my mother and walked out 5 minutes later after noticing several rodents running through the books. This place is absolutely cluttered, like walking through an episode of hoarders. It smells, it's dirty, there are cobwebs, no organization, the product is dirty as well. The bathroom is out of a horror movie. Im not sure why code enforcement hasn't made the owner clean it up. There were two tweakers, very much on drugs at the store, one inside, one outside, seemed very cozy with owner which was an immediate red...
