BookOff Kaka’ako Store

I immediately fell in love with BookOff. The selection might be small, and a tad bit difficult/confusing to navigate, but to walk out of a book store with three brand new hardcovers for $3 speaks volumes to me. My husband is bound to be annoyed with the amount of books I'm about to bring home every month.Even outside of the $1 book section, the prices are really good and challenge big companies like Amazon. Seriously, those three books alone saved me $63 (yes, I did the math because I'm a nerd).I also want to shoutout the employees. While I never needed their help or anything, I couldn't help overhear their banter while I perused, and they just seemed so cool and informed.Can't wait to come back again... and again... and again.

READ BEFORE GOING!!!!!! For one I like that's it's a good place to buy used books and movies and the prices are decent for used stuff. BUT if you're going to sell you books DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT SELL ANYTHING TO THEM! I came in with some older books all in brand new condition and they were gonna buy them for $0.15-$0.50 each which is a huge rip off. If you don't need the money and just wanna get rid of stuff this is the place to go but if you're looking to make some money back DO NOT GO HERE! Amazon offers an option to resell your stuff with them and you can always post them on FB market if you wanna make some money back. Overall I like coming to shop here and shop only! The service is great there were only 2 people but they were still quick and friendly with service! And please remember don't be mad at the workers for the prices if you decide to sell, you have an option to either sell to them at their offering price or you can decide to take your stuff and try to sell elsewhere if the price doesn't sit right with you! They don't make the rules or the prices the company does and they're just doing their job. They give you an offer and YOU decide for yourself if you need the money or if you just really need to get rid of your items. Which is why I said if you need the money don't sell here, only bring stuff that you really don't care about and just want to get rid of as long as you don't mind not making back any money.

Bookstores are a rare find now. BookOff has used books, DVD's, CD's and a huge selection of Manga items. They have a few parking stalls in the front of the store but was all filled so street metered parking is usually available nearby. The salesclerk working on this day was super helpful spending a lot of time in helping us find something. Prices for books and DVD's can start as low as $1.00 and super reasonable. Atmosphere is perfect for browsing in a nice air conditioned store.

Excellent selection of new and used books, as well as manga, figurines and more. What looks like a small store from the outside, is in fact well stocked and full of many isles of merchandise. The store is clean and has cold Air Con. The gem of the store in my opinion is the discounted section where you never know what you might find. Employees were friendly and helpful during my visit and let me wander and peruse for an hour undisturbed across the many narrow isles to see what books might interest me.

My daughter wanted to come here to look at the manga books. This store is huge. Bigger than the Pearlridge location in the mall. I walked the whole store and ended up in the CD section. I scored two Linkin Park CD's. My favorite band and a tattoo I got of their symbol. I can't seem to find my first CD. The other CD I have not heard only half the songs on there. Still good condition though. Not bad for $7.00. I ended up buying $56 worth of manga books for my daughter which is a whole set. The things I buy for my daughter lolSelection seems to be huge here. I thought I would never come across Linkin Park CD's but I did. Prices seem to be fair. Not bad for what I paid for everything I got. The employees were okay. No enthusiasm whatsoever but at least the guy was nice. Parking sucks because there's only limited spaces. Only negative about that. There's metered parking across the street.

BookOff is a unique niche store offering used books, media, figurines and electronics. They are currently located in Kaka'ako in a small area with parking in front. Selling process: You can drop off your items and they will give you an estimated time to process what you've provided. I brought about 6 boxes worth of books and dvds. From there, they purchased about 1-2 boxes worth for a little less than $20. It took about 30 minutes for them to go everything without anyone ahead of me in line. I received a text when everything was ready and you have up to 7 days to return. You can take back the items you don't want or they will offer them for free to customers out front. Buying: I did not buy anything while I was there but I was impressed with the selection in the store. They have a lot of items at good prices. However, I feel like this shop is best for gamers or those interested in unique figurines. They had a large funko pop selection and a lot of old games. This felt like the real score in coming here.

I been a long time customer of book off since it was in shirokiya Ala Moana . I been selling things at this store for a long time. . Now I've come to sell stuff today Two of girls isis and another girl was with it today . I assisted them with what i had. some had a few pieces we were careful to Handl. And two dvds I helped the other girl remove from its case. While my other stuff were not taken. We agreed on what can be taken . What cannot. Things worked out well. Thanks to Isis . and her partner . I still got a good price for it.

I love that there's still book-off stores in Oahu. But what pisses me the most is that they're selling secondhand figures and manga the same price or even more than the original.Book-off used to be cheap and affordable for college kids. Come on now, don't be greedy guys.

wide variety of books and great prices for their condition. staff is very helpful & welcoming as well !

I was expecting a bit better selection of vintage games and consoles but I found some interesting things. I will be back though.
