After 25 years, they are MOVING!…read more We love Half Price Books! What better way to spend a date day than flipping through shelves of books that aren't overpriced! This location is great when we are headed toward Ross Park Mall.. except for the giant hill of an entryway that... denoted by the scratches in the pavement... has removed a good number of bumpers! Sooooo... we are excited that they are relocating down the road. Still... shelves upon shelves of meticulously curated categories with sub categories and alphabetized authors.... Maybe we love this because we are both such detail oriented people! My wife and I love to remember our favorite authors and hunt down where they are. We spend far too many minutes sitting on the floors of the sections thumbing through shelves and pages. And there is nothing better when you get to checkout with a stack of books... and the price is half! Thanks for the date days! Thanks for staff that never minds people squatting and enjoying!

--Location/Parking-- There are multiple locations throughout…read morePittsburgh. I went to the one close Carnegie Melon on Forbes Ave location. Street parking can be hit or miss. I took the bus there to avoid any parking issues --Ambience-- Think of a Gamestop but will a clean interior and the game organize by consoles and knowledgeable staff willing to help you. I recommend this local gem if you are looking any retro and non-console media/gaming/ etc. --Service/Staff-- The staff knew their stuff. Friendly and energetic. I wouldn't mind spending time there to nerd out on pop culture. --Food/Products-- Wide range of media from video games (which I was interested in) to CDs to toys to many Blu-ray. It's like a Gamestop and Best buy in media selection all in one. --Capacity-- The Forbes Ave location is kind of small. I would say about 20 or so people would be crowded in the store and could make it awkward to walk around in the tight space. --Overall-- I would be back to see what new items they have in stock and see if people have traded items that I would be interested in.

Even with the slight chatter in the background as I study is not a distraction in comparison to if I was in a different setting. The vibe is always unmatched here to me. I get a lot of work accomplished here. There's a wide variety of books and periodicals here as well for all readers (if we didn't know that already lol). I just love this place!!

THE place for funkos in Pittsburgh! My boyfriend and I are both collectors as are my 2 nieces (8…read moreand 7). We have found some serious gems here at great prices. They also host Popapaloozas which are a blast! Tons of funkos and fun every 2-3 months. Their social media presence is awesome, lots of rarer Funkos posted on their FB to purchase plus preorders to make sure you get the newest ones as soon as they're released. Kids under 12 get a free common on Sundays! (Not sure how long this promotion is for but it's amazing!)

Located inside the beer store is a little odd but I suppose it works. They have an impressive…read morecollection of Funko Pops. However, some of the pricing is outrageously expensive. In addition, the customer service is definitely lacking. Went out because we pre-ordered Pops and waited months to hear about the arrival. In fact, we had to constantly call and email them only to get vague answers.

We weren't greeted at all- or acknowledged so for a place that was voted PGH best record store- not sure. Wasn't able to buy anything mainly bc my ability to stay and look was shortened in the hopes of getting air and quickly.

We went to the store a few days ago and felt that the young lady was fair in the offer she gave us for the few items we brought in to sell. As a result, we thought it was safe to bring the rest of my collection all at once tonight. Unfortunately, my husband and I truly feel like a fast one was played on us. We brought well over 50 items into the store. After waiting approximately 45 minutes for the three associates to look over the items, the young man called us to the counter to let us know that they were only interested in purchasing quote, unquote just a few things. He pointed to a bag sitting behind the counter that was stuffed to the top with my collectibles and said that they were not interested in hardly any of the action figures or collectible figurines. He then pointed over to a shelf which only appeared to have 12 items tops and said these are the few things that we are interested in purchasing. His offer was $20 store credit or $16 cash. Thinking it was only if you items I took the offer and brought my throne about collection back to my car. I just got back to my house and realized that I was never given a receipt showing what exactly they bought in the price they gave me for each item. On top of that, when I went through my collection that was hardly stuffed in the bag I found it was more like 25 to 30 items most of which were my action figures and collectible figurines. Needless to say I am not happy in the least. I have been searching online and all through the website looking for a contact form or an email. I would really like to formally document my complaint and dissatisfaction. Oh well... I guess I am going to just have to personally go into the store tomorrow to the bottom of this. I'll be sure to keep you posted on how the situation develops and the resolution presented... If any Grrrrrr

My husband and I shopped at this particular Michael's in the Waterfront shopping center. No employees greeted or assisted us as we walked around the store, but we found what we wanted. The shelves were stocked full with merchandise, and the prices were reasonable. This store had a good selection of small paint brushes for my husband's hobby, and I liked the selection of Christmas decorations.

The first time I noticed this, I was using self checkout. She was pretending to clean a machine but also very obviously side eyeing me and looking over my personal cards? I get that theft might be something that happens here and Im sorry if It is, but her behavior makes me feel bad. The second time I went to pay, I ended up being short and I asked an employee to take an Item off. Shortly after the same lady busts out of the back room and stares daggers at me like Im trying to steal or something. Very weird woman. Other than that, good store.
