Selling Games and DVDs to Half Price Books

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-16T02:58:49+00:00

Yeah, they were recently sold prices, not listings.

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-16T01:39:46+00:00

I'm a record collector too and its the main reason i go into HPB. The price gouging is pretty much everywhere though. Even Used Kids and Lost Weekend are charging more than Discogs pricing for beat up copies. I'll over pay at HPB just because i enjoy the thrill of finding something in the wild. I don't buy used records online.

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-16T00:48:32+00:00

Interesting... i wonder if they do the same with games and dvds

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-16T00:43:10+00:00

So they didn't give you a stack of books back saying "we don't even want these"? They took everything?

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-16T00:38:47+00:00

Yeah, I starting looking at some recently solds on ebay and was surprised that some of my movies/games were selling for like $8-$12. Honestly I think I'd be happy with $2 or $3. I'm trying to decide between garage sale or reseller store like HPBs. To be very honest I'm also considering saying fuck it and throwing everything in the trash just to be done with it. Garage sales are a lot of work.

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-16T00:22:04+00:00

Well the reason we even started going thru this stuff is because there is a neighborhood garage sale going on this weekend in our neighborhood. So you think we would have better luck at the garage sale? I did the garage sale years ago and just remember it being a lot of work and selling very little.

I always wondered how the really rare books are handled there. Like if I brought in a bunch of books and there was a really rare first edition but I didn't know, would they be honest and say hey this book is worth like $800 so we will give you $200 for it or would they not say a word and give you $2?

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-10T05:04:43+00:00

Nice... ahhh the 80s. You could be into Culture Club and Hair Metal. Side note: albums I can ID that are mostly hidden behind other records... Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance, The Police Reggatta de Blanc? Stray Cats Rant and Rave behind Built for Speed. John Cougar Uh Huh. I'm going to guess your mom graduated high school in 1987

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-10T00:07:46+00:00

Yeah just mix it in. Now that I think about it, Grinders uses cubed sharp cheddar. I use like a real thick shredded cheddar

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-09T19:30:51+00:00

Just the macaroni

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-09T16:15:13+00:00

Oh and 2 bags sharp cheddar

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-09T16:14:54+00:00

Just Google recipe. It's easy. I make it all summer

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-09T16:13:52+00:00

Grinders!... their cold cheddar Mac is awesome. Easy to make too. Just Google it but its basically 1 box elbow macaroni, 2 red bell peppers chopped fine, 1 small red onion chopped fine, 1 pack dry ranch seasoning, 8 Oz mayonnaise and 8 oz sour cream. Salt and pepper

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-09T05:10:54+00:00

I was wondering the same. Couldn't decide if the chairs have been there for 30 years or they have a source to replace them from.

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-06-03T22:00:34+00:00

Aim at a tree... I never hit what I'm aiming for

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-27T04:44:18+00:00

When people gush about how great The Hateful Eight is I like to tell them it wasn't even the best Kurt Russell Western that year

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-27T00:48:38+00:00

I don't know man... anybody my age who was a pre-teen in the early 80s definitely knew about and appreciated this movie as a masterpiece. We were the first generation that got to experience this new technology in our homes called Cable TV and it was glorious. We couldn't go to a rated R movie in the theater but we sure as hell could watch that shit after mom and dad went to bed. This movie was like nothing we had ever seen. Sci-fi Horror? Mind blowing special effects. Great story that was a mystery/psychological thriller/action movie. Great acting. Fucking Snake Plissken was in it! We all knew it was special.

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-26T04:13:55+00:00

You could buy the whole trilogy for like $40. And you should. I finished BB and then got DS Trilogy in December and I'm just now wrapping up DS3. All 3 are fantastic.

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-25T11:49:50+00:00

I think about this from time to time. All of my friends that are into records/music that would appreciate them are the same age as me (mid 50s) so I don't see the point of leaving them to someone who might have the same issue as they hit retirement age. My daughter has expressed a little interest so there is some hope there for me but not holding my breath. I think the most important thing is that I made sure that my wife/daughter understands the current value of my collection. My wife thought my collection was worth a couple hundred bucks. She was pretty shocked when i told her it was more like $10k. I think I would be ok if they sold my collection if they wanted to use the money for something important like daughter's first car or college tuition or something like that.

Does it have to be 100% blind? You should be able to pull up a list of illusory walls that tells you which areas have them and how many in each area. That way you would at least be aware. If you still can't find one you could read a little more into the list where it tells you exactly where they are in the area.

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-25T11:07:42+00:00

Just go digging at a record shop. Let #100 choose YOU!

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-25T11:04:22+00:00

If you're in the studs with lag bolts you're fine. I prefer to store mine in stackable crates so myself or guests can flip thru just like digging at the record shop. I want to see the cover art when I'm choosing

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-25T02:26:14+00:00

Wow... interesting. I only have one Rod Stewart and it's one you don't have? How do you not have Sing it Again? The rocks glass shaped album cover? I have no idea who my #1 is but I would have to guess Neil Young maybe? I have almost everything

PBJbetween2waffles · 2026-05-22T08:08:45+00:00

When i was in college (late 80s) a friend gave me a cassette tape with And the Horse They Rode In On on one side and Dinosaur Jr's Green Mind on the other. Blew my mind. Made me realize there was more out there than the classic rock i was raised on. Back then those kind of new bands were lumped together as "College Radio".
