| - Great place to buy, horrible place to sell/trade. This store is filled with all sorts of unique and lost treasures, you wouldn't expect to still see around. I loved this store the moment I walked in based on what they carried. However, I do have issues with the way they run their trade/sell department and the attitudes of a few employees, or better yet, lack of customer service. Their website is misconstrued and bares false advertisement on the items they accept. Meanwhile, I pack 3 boxes of old items they say they accept and drive all the way over there to see what this place is about. However, I end up wasting my time for a measly $12, while 2 boxes of items weren't "accepted" due to daily inventory sales and seasonal calls. I was told to call ahead (which I did) to see if they'd accept several items, and that I should bring them in so they can have a look at them. Then I'm told they can't accept 2/3 of what their website says they'd take. The employees don't seem to care a whole lot when you bring in your old collectibles or dusty books, and have an unprofessional manner when letting customers know that their trade/sell is complete. Several employees actually carried the "I'm better than you" attitude on their shoulders and snarled when too many questions where asked. EXCUSE ME FOR NEVER HAVING BEEN HERE. So if you want to sell or trade at Bookmans, make sure you call ahead and see if it's the appropriate "time" or "season" for them to accept your items, or you'll be one of MANY to waste your time in selling/trading. My first experience here was awful. I hope this helps anyone else who has never been here, before they go.
