    First off I'm grateful to have it. Have the new Athlon Sports NFL season guide. Here I can digest draft info, free agent signings, and what the outlooks for the franchise's is. Am not surprised that the cost has gone up, but we are living in an era of inflation. Actually got a decent bargain on a history book about Incas. That should be excellent reading. This is a nice store. They used to have more, but writing seems to be on E devices. I'm guilty so it's not their fault. The employees here are very polite and helpful. It's also a fairly well organized store also. I sometimes enjoy reading a book here, with a nice cup of coffee. It's a comfortable spot, and for this I'm grateful.

    Procrastination got me back at B&N, came in looking for Squigz and Bananagrams to purchase as gifts. After scouring the shelves for half an hour, I only found Bananagrams. Too tired to keep looking, I end up buying Tegu's Magnetic Wooden Blocks. Once at checkout my tab came up to 130+, didn't realize Tegu toys cost two arms and legs. But by renewing membership, I saved a bit getting a second set for my son.

    A frequent visitor (and member) of this Barnes & Noble. I enjoy coming in early to grab a coffee and sit down next to the window to enjoy the stillness. I've been ordering their dirty chai as of lately, a craving I'm having this season. They're now remodeling this store, new, tall magazine racks relocated near the Café, and a new section with greeting cards, gift wrapping, etc., at the far right section of the entrance being set up as we speak!

    Yes, the books are generally more expensive in physical bookstores than buying them online, but I try to read one at the café and buy a couple so that they stay in business.

To their credit the pricing was always competitive. I'm not sure the corporate folks adjusted to the economy or market changes. My appreciation for a good run. It's been at Fair Oaks for years. I also was happy that they had Domokun merchandise here. For those not familiar with him, he's a very funny character from Japan. Definitely don't give him apples to eat. It is another retailer that is on the exit. I wish the employees success elsewhere, as they were fun and helpful. Tis a shame, but maybe GameStop or other companies will pick up the slack.

This has obviously changed and as streaming and downloading movies picks up more and more (especially during this Coronavirus Pandemic) FYE may go the way of the Dodo and Conor MacLeod from Highlander Endgame. I am now in the tv series section and the first thing I see is ER. I seasons 1-11 plus the final season which is number 15. Pretty damn good. I see breaking bad, but I never saw the all of it. I know I am missing out. Walter White goes from a chemistry teacher to a hardened killer and drug dealer. I also saw Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I see Arrow and at the time, I was only able to see 5 seasons of it on Netflix. Three more seasons to go. This plays has a number of clientele in it. The mall has picked up dramatically since the first shutdown caused by the Coronavirus Outbreak. The only difference are people wearing masks. Glad Fye is still around.

    I am returning to vinyl records and recently purchased a record player. I wanted to add reggae and…read moreclassic R&B/soul artists to my father's blues collection and searched online for a local record shop. I was in Manassas and decided to check out Dragon Song. The owner, John, was personable and helpful and offered sound advice on vinyl records and caring for my new player. In addition to picking up albums from Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Bob Marley, I also picked up some handmade incense and a cleaning kit. Overall, it was a pleasant shopping experience, and I will return to Dragon Song the next time I am in Manassas. It is important to support local, small businesses!

The prices were no where near the levels found online, (data bases are there for a reason,) he used a book from who knows when to come up with the prices. Which even if accurate, (it may have been,) the grading was completely off base. The guys there seemed nice enough, don't think I don't appreciate the pleasant conversation. But when a new pressing is $8 to $10 dollars more than any other retailer, and the used albums are, in some cases, 100% or more overpriced, it is hard to spend that kind of money for an inferior product.

    HUGE used book store and well worth the drive!…read more Their trade in process was really straightforward - when you walk in there's a trade in counter where they ask you to put your books into bins. I had one large bag that I sorted between two bins, one for books and the other for single issue comics and DVDs/non-books. About 45 minutes later I got a text that my trade-in was ready. I came back to the same counter after browsing the store and they offered me in-store credit or a lower amount in cash. They also returned the items they didn't want and I had the option to take them with me or leave them as a donation. I think it was a fair deal for what I donated, and I opted for the in-store credit. The store has a great mix of used books, dvds, comics, vinyl, and more that's pretty well organized. I will say there's a fair amount of duplicates of certain titles and it was interesting that some were priced higher than others - so check all the labels! In general the prices were reasonable with a few exceptions - I saw a really worn copy of a new hardback that they were selling for the list price ($35!) even though it had been out long enough that other books sellers were discounting it already. But then I also got a box set of dvds for $10 and a bunch of kids books for $0.50-2.00. It was easy to spend that in-store credit!

    I have been shopping at this store for years now, unfortunately todays trip will be my last. Mckays…read morehas always had inaccurate pricing, but today they were so bad that I almost thought I was dreaming. Tell me why I saw Star Wars the Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels for $18... Currently this game goes for $3.67 on pricecharting, heck when it game out in 2008 its peak was only a measly $5. Multiple gbc/gba shovelware games all overmarket, by around 10 dollars as well. In general the amount of 3-5 dollar games that they are trying to pass off as 15 - 20 dollar games is dis gracefully disgusting. The point of traveling to these stores are to get the good deals. All of the inventory they have are traded in for or donated so it makes NO sense! It seems that the employees make guesses when it comes to prices, that or they are being told to overprice by upper management. By the gaming section there was a sign that claimed that all of the consoles and equipment is tested beforehand by "gamers with over 30 years of experience" whatever that means. I got an Xbox One Kinect from them back in December, and worked normally. A couple days later I wanted to try using its mic functionality, was not functioning. So it was never fully tested by "gamers with over 30 years of experience" lol. The worst part is that they give you a 3 day warranty... it's not like people have kids, jobs, or other commitments I guess. The media (dvds and blu rays) were also overpriced per usual. Usually only by 5-10 bucks. My main discrepancy today was that I saw multiple dvds and blu rays with dirt and filth smattered on the covers. Your telling me that they have the audacity to up charge, and still refuse to even spend 10 seconds wiping the cover with a lysol wipe? Is it that hard to do? Disgusting! I can't speak on their book pricing as I am not well versed but pretty much everything else is overpriced in this store. It really sucks because these type of stores are supposed to be for lower income families who can't buy new. And instead is being treated like a greedy gaming convention booth. I genuinely feel bad for kids nowadays who want to start growing a small gaming collection post pandemic. With greedy "thrift" stores like this, even the shovel ware games are off-limits.

I slowly went through the selections and picked up about few. sedar did interact with us a few times and made the visit warm and welcoming.

Negatives: Very poor Hip-Hop music selection which is clustered right in front of the registers bc, well, you know . Only reissues and unsold stuff from Record Store Day. Older game systems and games were very expensive so maybe their strategy is designed for impulse buying. I would give the service a 5/10 but that unfortunately is the norm with the 18-25 workforce you usually find in the mall.
