Hey folks, just wanted to give a weird heads up. I've worked at an HPB for nearly 8 years and something strange happened last week. We got in a sealed copy of Jungle Strike for SNES in pristine condition. Now I know what you're thinking, who cares it's just Jungle Strike. Here's the weird...
I work at the Monroeville store and we are well stocked for the sale.
3 3DS XL (Black/ Blue/ Red)
3 Wiis
2 N64s
1 original Xbox
1 PS2 Slim
1 360
1 Sega Genesis
iPad (I forget gigs and generation)
16 gig iPod touch
Just wanted to mention that I got my Luigi's Mansion in the mail yesterday and it was pristine! Case looks great, all the manuals and I was even able to register the club nintendo code. Very thrilled with this purchase!
Hey man, I'm the CAG guy who works at an HPB. I think all of us got one copy of that hardcover each from our distribution center. That was a brand spanking new copy of Irredeemable that you got for that price!
I can't speak for other stores but my store is getting a ton of Boom comics. In...
I was about to say the same. I work for HPB. We got three of each in Wednesday's shipment of new goods. I'm not a huge Anime fan but they caught my eye.
Yeah, that's a bummer man. They clearly did not know what they were talking about and I hope you declined the offer.
I will say this too, our pricing system is awful at updating new MSRPs. I warn my coworkers all the time that a $60 game one day could very well be $40 the next. It drives...
Ahhh...I didn't realize it went up in value since Awakening's release (currently playing that and enjoying it quite a bit).
Yeah, that's crazy high for Luigi's Mansion. I think my store has had Zelda Collector's Edition twice now and we sold it for either 40 or 50 (very quickly though).
I...
May I ask what items you sold?
As I've stated before I work at an HPB and can made shed some light on the situation. I was a customer for several years before working at one and it's a completely different world on the other side of the counter. My store gets roughly 2,000 items every single...
Let me clear up a few misconceptions about HPB pricing of video games.
I'm not sure where everyone is getting the we use Amazon as a guideline. That's not entirely true. We can use anything. Our pricing stations have the Internet and we can look up the going rate using just about any site...
I'm glad to see this thread. I've worked at Half Price Books for over two years now, and I love working there. They're a great company and I'll try to help out in this thread as much as I can.
For starters, the calendars mentioned in the original post are probably all gone. This varies store...
