User Reviews for Nice Price Books

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Nice Price Books of Chapel Hill is definetly the best source of used vinyl records in the Carrboro/ Chapel Hill area. I have found most of my collection there, and I highly recommend it to anyone. It has become an even better music resource with my recent purchase of a portable record player. My #1 Nice Price highlight is when I found a Link Wray: Swan Singles collection double album on Sundazed Records for $10.00, which retails new for $25! Let that be proof that they live up to their name.

Pros: Fun place to be. Tidy, clean store with lots of character, very cool t-shirts offerred.

Cons: The staff could be more outgoing and cheery at times.

I always feel like Indiana Jones when I go into Nice Price--I'm never sure if a big stack of books is going to come cascading down on me when I stand on my tippy-toes to reach something! You have to be willing to put in some time searching here, but I always come out with an armful of great things.

Pros: Selection

Cons: Not for the impatient shopper!

This has to be the best place to go if you want the staff and managers to treat you like idiots. I have been there a few times and when inquiring about a particular type of reading material they provided me with a very sarcastic look and could not provide me with anything close to what I visited their to find.

Pros: Well lit.

Cons: Dumb inapprpriate staff and manager.

Whether you're looking for a particular book - or just browsing to find something that strikes your fancy - this is the best place to go. My daughter and I love to go in and just get lost in one section or another. Too often I find much more than I went in for. Nice Price has such a comfortable atmosphere, with more books than the shelves will hold.

Pros: Friendly, Comfortable, Great selection

I've been going to NPB for years because you can usually find any book you're looking for. The owners are TERRIFIC people and they have always had great staff. The Durham store is my favorite!

Pros: Inexpensive, Great resale policy, quiet

Dig through the shelves and record bins for hidden (and cheap) gems.  See the full editorial review.
