  I always enjoy stopping in and browsing for books. It's a fun treasure hunt. This shop has a huge inventory, so treasure hunting here is especially fun (mostly if you don't have your sights on finding a specific book).
  
  Do make sure you know both the new and typical used prices of your books. On more than one occasion, I've found books in their inventory priced at more than the new value of the book. For one, they said it was because the book is out of print, and the price was doubled But I know that this particular book is not out of print and couldn't see any indication of it being a special edition.
  
  Other than that, be prepared for clutter when you enter. They have more books than shelf space! They also have a selection of outdated and awesome media such as record players.
  
  It might be hard to navigate the shop in a wheelchair due to the clutter.

  You can find some very neat things hidden in the shelves of this place. The staff wasn't able to help me all that much for what I was looking for but actually found something that was great and actually wasn't my plan to find. I have been back many times.

  The score would be higher if the employees were even remotely friendly. They never greet you. Never ask you if you need help or are looking for anything. As you leave not even a good bye. They do have some pretty cool stuff though!

  Interesting store. Buying book policy is good. They have random taste or should I say bizarre.

  Just a really awesome place to go if you love music and books. At reasonable prices too. Plus they have a buy sell trade situation as well.

  They accept very few items for credit or cash. Despite taking in good quality, modern titles of paperbacks they accepted only 2 books. Perhaps it speaks to their overstocked position? I found the same with their acceptance of CD's as well. They do have a good selection of books and some good vinyls.

  Really enjoy having Bizarre Bazaar in town. As a record shop they consistently have a good rotation of vinyl. Some folks say their prices are high, but I've never found an album there that I thought was outrageously overpriced. I'd rather pay a few extra bucks to support a local business than buy all my vinyl off Amazon in ten years! Staff is always friendly too.

  Bizarre Bazaar has a huge selection and they're one of the only stores that will buy books. The shop is a blast to look around and I especially loved that they have a section of foreign language books. Downsides are that they don't have a record of everything they have and the books seem unorganized within the categories, so if you're looking for something specific you'll have to search through their huge collection (which can also be a positive!).

  The staff here are so helpful. I chatted with a guy for about a half hour when I was looking to buy a record player and I learned a lot about it all. As someone who loves organization, the layout/scheme to it all is a little overwhelming. But it's fun to spend a day there seeing what you can find.

  Honestly, I was not a big fan of this place. I brought in some books to trade in, and while I was waiting for them to be evaluated, I looked around. This place is more messy than I would prefer and a bit overpriced. Not to mention the fact that the staff spent hardly 4 minutes looking at my books before coming over to tell me that they weren't interested in any of them. Why, you ask? I couldn't tell you. Most of my books were in better shape than half the books I saw on the shelf, and I did not see copies of them on the shelves already. Took my books to another used bookstore in town and traded in most of them for a great deal! Will not be returning to this place.

  Great selection and great staff! I went in to sell some records. They were really quick and thorough and offered me a good deal. I will definitely be back!
