As with previous years, everything at this sale was $2 or less. Comic books were 25¢ or 50¢, while trades were $1 or $2. Movies were movies in DVD format, but occasionally you do see Blurays (but they are rare). Most of the $2 video games were from the PS3 or earlier era (so, no Switch or PS4 games).
The worst part of this sale is checking out. Lines snaked all over the room and it took 15-20 minutes just to get to a cashier. I know it may sound unfair, but I wish there was a ten-items or less line, so customers who just had one or two items can get out quicker.
The first customers who attended each day (starting at 9am), got a free HPB tote bag. They limited it to one bag per person (of 16 years or older).
As with their stores, they accept most forms of payments, including cash and credit cards - however they will refuse to accept HPB Gift Cards or coupons.
Saturday is the busiest day for the Hal Price Books sale, so if you can swing it, go on Friday… because you get first choice and there’s probably fewer customers (and likely better parking since they’re not sharing it with the comic convention or Oktoberfest fans).
