Bridgeburg Bookstore - Fort Erie, Ontario

Matt

Super disappointing experience here. After digging around in this store for literally hours -- which was fun, there are tens of thousands of books here -- I brought a stack of books I'd found around the store to the checkout, only for the owner (I assume) to re-evaluate and re-price the books by searching online listings while I was standing there.

This is a pretty lazy and greedy business practice. First off, he referred to listings on Abebooks that were still for sale, meaning these weren't prices that the book had SOLD for -- they were prices that sellers were listing them at, and these prices are often very inflated. These are prices that people AREN'T paying (considering they are all still for sale).

Also, he made no effort to offer me a fair price. I would think that considering the fact that I was there, in the store, ready to make a purchase, the least he could do is offer me a realistic price, especially considering he didn't even know these books were down there and they probably would have collected dust for another couple years. I am not an online customer somewhere across the world. I dug through the store and found the books, only to be told "Unless you want to give me 1000 bucks..."

Anyway, I don't expect this to be an issue for the average customer, but this is not a store where it's worth digging around. You will be gouged for anything remotely cool that is found. The owner's vibe was overall standoffish and not super welcoming. A waste of an afternoon spent here.

This place is heaven for book lovers, whatever you want to find or whatever you are looking for this place has. I found an older book on Scottish poetry and i am loving it! Will be going back, the experience was wonderful!!!

A gem that needs to be visited. A variety of books, grab a couple of books from the author Ken Follett. Morgan is always keeping me in mind and helping me complete my hardy boys' collection.
Thank you for always helping out. See you soon.

I dropped by your store this past Saturday with a friend for the first time. Your srore is amazing. We could of spend more time in there but there is always the next time. My friend purchased a book on spells. You were very helpful to us and it was appreciated. I have since handed out a few of your business cards and mentioned how great your store is. Thank you for your kindness and the great shopping experience you provided.

Really cool bookstore. Lots of options and older texts. You have to see it for yourself.

What a fantastic shopping experience! I'm based on the west-coast, and Morgan happily sent me a photo all all the books in stock by my favourite author. Then after i picked out a selection he sent me cover shots and price list. Finally he sent me a well-wrapped package that was promptly delivered. Thank you so much Morgan!
