One of my favorite shops in Stavanger has to be Løvås Bruktbu, whom sells used books, comic series and books, and lots of used dvd’s ( and still some videos and other things ). I have probably been a regular customer in this shop for well over 25 years – since I was a little boy hunting for cheap comic books – and I’m quite sure I have many of those still on my loft ( which need to be cleaned up – btw…
)
The prices varies from half the price of a new product (if its still quite new…) and from 1/5 till 1/3 of a new price for most relevant products, and down to “slim to nothing” for less sought items. Both on the inside and on the outside ( on the west/right side of the entrance door ) they have special discounts in a bundle – where you can get 5-15 comics/books for 10 NOK or something like that. Also on the outside on the east/left side of the entrance door they put out some magazines and books for free – both in Norwegian and English normally.
Of course have also some older collectors items that is many many times the original price
The neighborhood around this shop is quite colorful, with loft of foreign shops and eating places, and every Saturday in the summer half year there is a Saturday flee market close by at the Nytorget marketplace. Both this shop and the area around is well worth a couple of hours of sightseeing
Herby recommended by me
The address for Løvås Bruktbu is Pedersgaten 25 – and its open in normally business hours (normal for shops, not as late as shopping malls ) :
