Consider this a warning to NOT sell any K-pop albums to them! Absolutely ridiculously low offer. $19.50 for 13 COMPLETE albums?? I hope someone at Half Price Books reads this. K-pop fans don’t care at all about the CD’s. They want the inclusions and the PC’s, so stop telling customers that you base your offer off of the CD. K-pop should be handled differently. When I told the girl that BTS is the biggest K-pop group in the world, all she said was “ok sure” and shrugged her shoulders. That right there shows her severe lack of K-pop knowledge. Be considerate of other music genres and get someone else who is more knowledgeable and polite. I work for a reseller, I know how this works, I know you will mark up the albums but consider a bit more realistic margin so you can make customers want to come back.

Good bookstore with lots of books, movies, games, and notebooks. Each genre of books separated into narrow rooms/sections. Convenient when you are trying to find a book, not so convenient when there is more than one person in the section.If you are trying to sell books, this is not the best place. The young buyer with pink hair is rude, but overall customer service is good.

Not very good at telling fakes from real games and accessories. First I saw them selling fake N64 controllers (very obvious as they said cirka instead of Nintendo) for $25. Most video game stores sell them brand new for $15. Then I saw a Mario Kart 64 in the case that was fake. Told the employees and they didn't know it was fake. Be careful buying items here as they could be fake.

I found Fleetwood Mac rumors on vinyl here, and I am so happy with my purchase. Half-price books is always a magical place and I really like this location. The parking is super easy and it’s very safe. The inside of the store is very organized and clean and the staff is always accessible and helpful.

I like to come here to check out all the movies selection they have. They also have a decent selection on video game also. Not much of a reader myself, but it is nice to browse all the books. They can order whatever you are looking for if they don't have it at the location.

I like to support local bookstores and reuse, but after this experience, I won’t be shopping at Half Price Books Tacoma again. We brought in four boxes, mainly popular titles and bestsellers, and received less than $7. Oh well, I thought, at least we are supporting a good cause. We proceeded to spend about $100 and drove 30 miles back home. We found that one of the dvds we bought was cracked and a board game, which was taped closed, had no board. I returned the items, and listened to the lecture about it being an “as is” item. The clerk said she would refund, but only if I gave her all of my personal contact information. Really? Why would I shop there when the service is better and the prices lower at Thrifty Books, and I don’t have to drive 30 miles. Won’t be back.

We like their beer selections and the food very much! The menu has evolved over time and they always have great varieties. Their meat dishes are consistently great! Currently my favorite is the wings. They make them so so good!!!

Best stop for inexpensive books if you want to build your "actual book" inventory. We also read digital, but there's something magical about turning paper pages in an actual book. My teens also collect CDs and I have found some great vinyl records there as well.

Love this store! So much to see. It's almost overwhelming the amount of books and music in there. Truly an amazing store. Very happy I found it!

This place is a gem! I entered the store hoping to find an album or CD by Jimmy Buffett and left with six 2024 calendars and five DVD's. Nothing i had planned on, but I am very happy with these purchases.

Such a comfortable and humble little shop. Family friendly, awesome product variety, GREAT staff! Have I mentioned their parking lot and property area is way nicer than you'd expect in a more rough city. It is definitely a noteworthy shop!

We love visiting Half Price Books! We went recently and found Monopoly for $5! They have plenty of genres and lots of stationery items too.
