Houston and Half Price Books
I was in Houston for a conference. I try to make a point to go to at least one Half Price Books when I visit. I dumped into my suitcase about 12 books to trade in. I almost didn't go, but left a little early for the airport in order to visit the store in Humble, Texas. It's just northeast of IAH, so wasn't far out of my way. Two and a half hours later, I left with 2 DVD sets (Castle season 1 and the British Second Sight, series 1 and 2) and 3 movies, 10 CDs, 3 hc, 6 tpb (3 gn), and 3 pb. The trade-ins were worth $11.75 and they gave me a 10% discount just because. I heart Half Price. I could easily have bought more, but I was worried about my suitcase weight and how much I was spending. This store had a lovely collection of graphic novels and SF.
I also try to not buy DVDs unless I'm sure that I don't have them. I have been trying to replace VHS versions, but I keep a list of those. I also keep a list of books that I'm looking for, as I try to replace the mangled versions with like-new ones when I can.
