The VaporumApril 20, 2017Visit when you have time to spend browsing! They have so much stuff! Books, music, games - so much good stuff! 2 levels to explore! Squeeee!!!
Great place to shop for movies & everything. If you want something & you have the money, I'd advise you to get it because it's probably an 85% chance that it won't be there the next time you visit.- Tesa PattersonMarch 6, 2015Love this place! Huge selection of books, DVDs, video games, and more. You can even get the vintage video games here.
Melissa L. BrinleyAugust 11, 2014Each time I visit my hometown, I make a point to visit McKays! I love browsing the cookbook isle for hidden gems.
TiffaniJuly 16, 2012My allergies go crazy when I come here from all the dust and mold from other peoples homes. I know this is not their fault, but just be warned you may be sneezy while waiting a long time for your #.
Cindy McNeil-HatmakerSeptember 3, 2016If you love actual books, you cream find it here, and music, movies and all things the bibliophile will love!
Olivia PetersMarch 21, 2015I personally do not like this place. They have a lot of books, but never any books that I actually need (such as Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck). The atmosphere is creepy and unsettling as well.
I bought 6 movies. Three of which were brand new and never opened. All for under $20 total! Will definitely be going back for books. Incredible place.
Debbie WoodFebruary 15, 2019This store use to have great prices on used books and trade in value was great if you returned for credit. Not so much anymore. If you know your title you can usually find it online cheaper. Shame.
Matt WardJuly 25, 2013Great place for like minded smart people. Come see some smart comedians August 21st, 2013 at The Well http://www.KnoxComedy.com for more info
Crystal Parks BaggettAugust 28, 2016Seller beware. They had stickers on our books before they even made us an offer. After we declined we had to remove all of the stickers from the book covers.
Eunice Hernández-HudsonMarch 1, 2013It can be very difficult to find a specific item. Also watch the prices, some stuff is more expensive than buying new. If looking for kids' books, it's a gold mine.
FreqOctober 2, 2012I am a recovering McKay addict. My floor almost collapsed under the weight of so many books. I bought a Nook and I think it may have saved the lives of myself and my family. Be warned readers.
ClifJuly 17, 2012Watch their prices. Graphic novels, movies, popular books, and games are often more expensive here than they are brand new.
- Angie ManerAugust 2, 2013Great selection of movies books games and stuff good prices. Love this place
Angela RaumJuly 11, 2013Awesome place. Very fast checkout. Luv the free bin outside;-) found an old dictionary dated 1939
Jennie ChanMay 3, 2011It's one of those stores you think you'll spend 5 minutes but you end up spending 2 hours there. Addictive! Full of childhood memories!- Angie ManerAugust 2, 2013Lots of books movies games and music for a great price ...... i love this place
- Freedom RobinsonOctober 28, 2016Great store except the prices have gotten high and trade values lower
The prices seem to have gone up with the move from the old store. I can still spend quite a while just browsing, but I haven't really purchased from here much in a while.- Stephanie ParishJuly 31, 2014A lot of their paperbacks cost more used than new. When I asked about this the girl laughed at me and said that they were not competing with anyone else and they could charge whatever they wanted to!
Watch out for the green haired checkout girl - she’s so rude.
Love McKay's but I am getting frustrated with constantly finding used books and movies that are actually more expensive than buying the same item new.
Brian SheldonFebruary 13, 2012I went to the Knoxville Mckay last night Sun Feb 13 2012. I got there at 6:30 they closed at 7:00 and they would not let me bring my trades in.The rules are 30 minutes before closing Mckay employees!
Katie Van PettenMarch 30, 2015The employees were absolutely worthless at helping locate a specific title. She wouldn't even come out from behind the counter.
You cant sell a used Game of Thrones season 2 for $41.99 when Target has it new for $29.99!
One of my favorite places ever. Cheap books and movies! Check back often. Books go in and out quickly.
Michael BergerJune 5, 2015Awful place for games, if you're here strictly for games/systems you'll see they're not very cheap and you might as well get new ones elsewhere.
- Ron HigdonJuly 17, 2010Great plave to find used books, music or videos. Reasonable prices, and decent trade in values.
jonathan douglasFebruary 7, 2010McKay's is one of the best things the city of Knoxville has to offer!
