Collector's Corner

Collector’s Corner is a special room that houses books, records, video sets, and other items that are priced individually. They may include first editions, books signed by the author, video sets, or other high quality items.

Items are priced based on their value and condition. Prices are reduced after the first weekend on a percentage basis.

Since the room is relatively small, we limit the number of customers to seven at one time. Items purchased in Collector’s Corner must be purchased before leaving the room.
