And it's always Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, or Donna Summer, not my favorites but bearable if not blasted so loud on their huge speakers and subwoofer like a night club.

Records are mostly new, used prices are 10 to 15% higher than other shops. One of my least recommended record shops around DFW, mostly because being there is downright uncomfortable.

I have been shopping at Half Price Books for most of my book-buying life. I remember shopping here…read moreall through high school, and I've continued to shop here when I return to Dallas (my hometown) for visits. To sum up my review, Half Price Books ruined me for all other used bookstores. Since leaving Dallas, I've lived in 6 other cities. While some had some pretty decent used bookstores (others not so much), none even come close to HPB. It was one of the many things I took for granted growing up in Texas/Dallas. I thought all cities had stores as large and well-stocked as HPB until I left. Most cities (even large ones) just don't. I've been shopping at HPB since the early 2000s (maybe the 1990s, too), but it's been open since 1972, and this Northwest Highway location is the original - its flagship store. It's huge. In a world with fewer and fewer bookstores (thanks, Amazon), bookstores have also gotten tinier and tinier (some are about the size of postage stamps now, but I'm still happy to visit and support them!). Not HPB. This location is 54,000 square feet. 54,000 square feet!!! There's a coffeeshop (La Casita Coffee at HPB), a large community space (where they host signings and author events, live music, and a monthly game night), and tons of places to sit, read, study, etc. (I should point out that not all Half Price Books locations are THIS large. Most - and I've shopped at a lot of other locations across Texas - are still pretty large stores, but this flagship location is massive. Founded in Dallas, many - 37 - of their 100+ stores are in Texas.) The store is also incredibly well stocked, housing more than half million books and then tons of movies, vinyl, CDs, games, and other items. When I say well-stocked, they have more books than this bibliophile can even process, including tons of mass market paperbacks, rare books, art/photograph books, and more. If you're looking for a classic, they'll have 40 copies (I was looking for an anthology of plays by Eugene O'Neill with a certain play included when I visited this past Saturday, had had about 10 options - and that's for a play not included in the larger anthologies). If you're looking for something rarer, they still might have it. But it's also a great place to browse - to come not knowing what you want. On my most recent visit this past weekend, I left with 3 or 4 books - two I wasn't really looking for and 1 I was. I also grabbed a coffee with my family in the cafe. If you have books you need to sell, this is the place. There's an area in the back where they'll take your books and then you can shop while they review. Then they'll call you up over the speaker in the bookstore when they have an offer for you. Don't expect a lot of money per book, but it's a great way to pass along a book you're done with to get something new to read. I can't say enough about this location of Half Price Books. I've loved it for more than half my life, and it's still the used bookstore I measure all others against. If you love a bookstore, you simply have to shop at this flagship store.

I absolutely love this location and could spend hours on end roaming the aisles with my TBR list…read more Whether you're searching for a new title off the NYT's Bestseller List or one from five years ago, it's more than likely here. Music, games, DVDs and rare titles/collectible items have huge sections, as well. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly; especially those in the Buy Back area! There is plenty of quiet space tucked away for workday tasks or a quick Zoom meeting and you can even bring your puppy (on a leash, of course). There's an attached coffee shop for sustenance and nice, clean bathrooms, too.

I didn't get a chance to really explore the store as I was on the hunt for children's books. I have to say that there was a very kind manager there to help, but children's books seemed to be everywhere in this midstore nook area that had children's books on shelves and in boxes on the floor. I didn't have the ability to get down low and check them all out. 75% of the books I looked at had some kind of minor boo boo. But I was realistic. If this was my child, I wouldn't care about that. They were clean. There were so many varieties. However, I was buying a gift and didn't know how the mother would feel. Really, most were in excellent shape considering we are talking kids here and I WAS looking for a two year old. In the end I found three highly regarded used books for $18 total. One had a spot of coffee or hot chocolate? Yum. lol Anyway, I found out they buy back books here. I can't really say that I absolutely understand the process, but I do know that STORE CREDIT is a big part of the plan. What a deal to keep recirculating books for reading. For those looking to make money on their books, they do offer cash for more current titles based on original sales price. They take into consideration condition and inflation. Just ask.

There was a huge variety of books and an impressive selection of games as well. The overall atmosphere was what really stood out. It wasn't overly "designed" or fancy, but it had such a warm, welcoming vibe. Everyone seemed relaxed and happy--almost like stepping into a little utopian pocket of calm. Even the staff were incredibly friendly. The cashier chatted with us about different sections and recommended a book because we looked like we were enjoying ourselves. It felt playful, social, and genuinely fun. The store was very well organized too. Nothing seemed out of place, which made browsing easy. There were maybe 15-20 customers while we were there, but because the space is large it didn't feel crowded at all. At the same time, it was nice that there were other people around--sometimes being the only customer in a store can feel awkward. The pricing on games was another pleasant surprise. Some were as low as $6-$7, and a few were even sealed, which you almost never see at that price. I'm not sure exactly how their inventory system works, but the deals were great. Location-wise it's super convenient--right off the highway with plenty of parking. Overall, it was a top-tier experience and a genuinely fun outing. If you're visiting Dallas, especially with kids, this would be a great stop. It looks like a chain, so I'm curious if other locations have the same vibe, but based on this visit I would absolutely recommend it and would definitely go back.

I will never hate on half price books so that's why I'm not giving them any less than 5 stars…read more BUT...BUT! My issue is with their buying your books concept. I showed up here with a huge duffel back filled with brand new books- I've been cleaning out my closet and decided why not get some money for these anyway-- I read on my iPad now (I know, I'm sorry.) The guy at the desk was super nice and helpful-- explained the process of how it works: -They scan each book in their system and the computer basically tells them how much each book is valued. I didn't wait that long until they called my name and I'm thinking "ok, I'm at least gonna get like 90$ for these..." NOPE! The huge duffel bag filled with books was worth to them... Ready for it? $12.87!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insane. I'm sorry but that is such a scam. I will always love half price books, I spent a lot of time in the one off Northwest Highway as a kid and got all my books from there. But this was just extremely sad. I know for a fact if I said ok, that's fine, they would turn around and sell EACH BOOK for AT LEAST $9.99. Don't waste your time lugging a heavy bag filled with books. Just keep them or sell online. So sorry.

The first time I went there, it was admittedly a bit overwhelming as it took me an hour or so just to get a grasp on the lay of the land. DVT really shines with vintage Star Wars and GI Joe '70s and '80s figures, vehicles, and playsets - both loose, on card and in box. It's just as much of an art gallery as it is a retail business. DTV has a dedicated room of officially graded toys if you're looking very top of the line, several thousand dollars in value. And it also has loose complete Star Wars figures you can buy for $24.99, depending on the character. I really enjoy re-releases of my favorite toys growing up, and often prefer commemorative editions so I can enjoy the nostalgia without the heavy financial investment, and DVT has good finds of later releases. There's so much variety. If you don't prefer figures, you might score an item like the Yoda puppet from Empire Strikes Back or other merchandise you don't see all the time. While DVT makes its high-value offerings visible, you might very well dig up some treasure in the aisles as you browse. This past weekend, I came across the Hot Toys Jack Nicholson '89 Joker 1/6 scale figure - an undeniable Grail. It was just hanging out in the Batman section on the shelf with the rest. I forced myself not to look in the box and walk away as I've never seen it in person - I knew I would fall in love. It's $500 I don't have to explain to my wife! While I have purchased a few things from DTV, I am not familiar with the experience of selling a collection there. In the late 90s/early 2000s, I sold many of my old figures to a similar establishment and really regret it. What I will say is that Shaun and his staff are readily available for advice and to bounce ideas off of, and so, if you want to sell, it's definitely worth consulting with them. Just know you very well could get a third of what you perceive your collection to be worth - and that's anywhere. These businesses need to eat and pay bills just like the rest of us! If you haven't been to this nostalgia museum, take some time to relax, know your spending limits before walking in, and enjoy. May the Force Be With You!
