Hastings Entertainment's Unique Web Site Is a Cyber Treasure Hunt

PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 09, 2010 – Imagine having online access to not one, but 149 warehouses across the country packed with gently used books at great prices.  That is the unique experience online shoppers can visit daily at www.goHastings.com.  There are many websites that sell new and used books, but none have the unique www.goHastings.com  model.  goHastings.com’s parent company is Hastings Entertainment which operates 149 entertainment super stores in 20 states and is a pioneer in the buying and selling of used entertainment products from customers in their store markets.  When customers browse used products, they are actually shopping the unique inventories accumulated from buybacks from customers around the country.  Imagine a customer in Albuquerque selling a used book back to Hastings and it is just what a customer in Allentown is looking for.

At all Hastings stores, customers regularly sell back books, movies, CDs and video games they no longer want for cash or store credit.  They can also buy used products for a fraction the cost of new.  Since Hastings has a 100 percent guarantee policy for all used products, it’s a “can’t lose” deal for the consumer.  The result of this program is that Hastings has one of the largest inventories of used products in the country.

By making the entire chain’s used inventory available on line, Hastings created a cyber treasure hunt of gently used and rare items that might not normally be made available to everyone.  At Hastings, shopping for used is the same for all entertainment products, but for the book lover it is truly a unique and exciting experience.  Books lovers can search for hard to find titles and come across a gem they have forgotten at a fraction the cost of a new version.  They’ll find books on history, cooking travel and other special interests that may be unavailable in most regular bookstores.   They can also get a recent hardback best seller like “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown at a paperback price.  The unique www.goHastings.com  model is the ultimate recycling tool and is surely a cyber treasure hunt for consumers who love movies, music games and books.
