I visited three Zia locations this week and have been shopping Zia for decades. This was my first…read moretime at this location. The store was good size and honestly the only one with decent customer service skills. Unfortunately I left feeling the way I have at all the others. The selection seems to be more new than used these days for what I'm looking for anyway. They took the time to look up what I was trying to find and I appreciate that. Prices can vary depending on your finds.

My go to location is usually the one in Mesa but since I was in the area I decided to check this…read moreone out. This location is pretty big and has a variety of items for sale. Prices are usually reasonable for these one of a kind trinkets and the store was organized. No employee interacted with us while shopping or when we walked in even though there were several standing behind the counter. The cashier was friendly when we approached her though and checked us out quick. Spent $60 on a Baggu and a Snoopy air freshener. Was so tempted to purchase the last standing Sonny Angel but did not want to buy it for $20 when I bought mine for $15 at a different store... :(

Bookmans Mesa is the best. At least once a quarter we clean out our bookshelves, board games, and…read morepuzzles, pile everything into the car, and bring it in for trade. I always feel like they give a really fair amount in trade credit, and somehow we always find new treasures to bring home. I especially love the board game section. It's packed with great options, though I do wish it was organized a bit more because there's so much to dig through. The kids area is wonderful too. On our last visit my daughter spent a ton of time browsing the young adult aisles and discovering new books. I only wish there was a location a little closer to us because we'd probably go even more often. Also throwing this out there... if they ever started a kids or teen book club, we would be all over that!

Service was great! Employees helped cart the stuff from my car into the store and gave an…read moreapproximate time it would take to price my offerings. All employers were helpful and professional. I like that they offer to donate anything left over, so we don't have to shlep the stuff they don't want to pay for, back home. Even though I did leave a bunch of stuff there, I did take back a box of record albums and took them to Zia Records who promptly offered $140 for them. Okay, not so promptly, but for $140 I didn't mind the wait and was happy I chose to get a second opinion.

The staff is super friendly. The little restaurant has some yummy options to fuel you while you continue shopping and you can pair that with a vintage soda. Yum. The pieces vary as do the prices. Don't forget there's 2 buildings. The main one and the back which is currently all Christmas!!

It was so awkward, I almost felt like I had done something wrong. Honestly, it was a bit much. My granddaughter & I enjoy going when there are events.

I recently bought a PSP from one Zia Records location that was labeled as "tested" and "working."…read moreBy the time I got home and tested it properly, the original store had already closed, so I went to another open Zia location nearby for help. After testing the PSP, I found that the analog stick and HOME button do not work at all. These are major controls, so the system clearly was not fully tested before being sold. When I explained the issue at the other location, I was only offered store credit or told I could keep it. I ask if it would be possible to do a partial refund or price adjustment since I was willing to repair it myself, but they refused. I also asked if I returned it, they would at least mark the PSP's price down they said no i also asked if they would label it as having joystick issues before reselling it, and I was told no. What frustrated me most was the attitude during the interaction. The employee was dismissive and laughed while talking to me instead of trying to help resolve the issue. I understand retro electronics can have problems sometimes, but if a console is sold as "tested" and "working," basic controls like the analog stick and HOME button should function properly. I'd recommend buyers fully test used consoles before leaving the store. worker had glasses and a hat working at the counter

Some are more expensive than others for similar items. There's something for everyone. If patient can find great deals. The staff i encountered were nice including the cashier. Service was adequate. The booths are different owners but you just paid for all in one place which makes it very convenient. Def coming back there's so much to see, you want to buy it all! Next door they have bbq.

Lots of memories refreshed here. And then you remember how…read moremuch items cost back when compared to the prices now. Decor, clothing, books, pictures, frames, toys, War memorabilia, musical instruments, jewelry, records, furniture, hardware, tools, stickers, and maybe a few other tchotchkes. They have special events that occasionally take place over the weekend. There's a senior day. They welcome pets and even encouraged me to bring mine in! Maybe someday I'll bring one of mine for the "Bull in the China Shop" experience. They have a restaurant here too so you can dine prior your shopping experience. Or after. They also have small shopping carts, but honestly there's no need since occasionally staff will pass and ask you if you would like the items you're carrying taken up front. And it doesn't take much to get large items moved because staff is so helpful. On special event weekends it gets noticeably busy. Parking lot fills and aisles become a bit crowded, so come early. Holidays are especially appealing when vendors dress up their booths with seasonal decor, especially the vintage items. Almost every time I shop here I find something to bring home.

First of all, I had no idea this place was the size of a small nation. I walked in thinking,…read more"Little antique shop, I'll just go up one aisle and down the next." Ma'am. Sir. There is no "up and down." This place is a labyrinth designed by someone who said, "What if we hid Narnia behind every dresser?" I got lost at least three times. Possibly four. At one point I genuinely forgot: What I came for, which direction I entered... who I am as a person. Every time I thought I found the "main path," I'd turn a corner and BAM! secret pocket room. Hidden alcove. Side quest unlocked. Now, to be fair, if you are someone who enjoys treasure hunting, rummaging, discovering trinkets you didn't know you needed, and time traveling, this is your Disneyland. There is stuff. So much stuff. Trinkets. Bobbles. Whatnots, galore. Things your grandma had. Things your grandma refused to have. I went in looking for one very specific item. I did not find it. I did, however, find three existential moments and mild spatial disorientation. Did I have a good time? Yes. Did I leave with what I needed? No. Did I briefly consider dropping breadcrumbs to find my way out? Also yes. Three stars because it's impressive, chaotic, and an adventure... but if you go in with a mission, be prepared to lose it. Possibly along with your sense of direction. Would return. With a map.
