TRADE-IN FAQs

How does the trade-in work? It’s easy! Make an appointment to bring us your gently used books in FIVE or fewer small, easy-to-carry bags. You will be asked to stay in the store while your books are processed. Any books we cannot accept will be returned to you after processing. We will evaluate your books and issue you store credit that may be used on anything we sell!

How much credit will I get for my trade-ins? Newer books in good condition may be worth up to 25% of their original price. Older books or worn books, regardless of size, are usually worth $0.25.

How will I know when my books have been evaluated? Your books will be evaluated and credit given. We will email you as soon as your books have been processed.

How often do you have trade-ins? Trade-ins occur monthly, February through November. Books will be received and evaluated Monday through Saturday, usually the first week of the month.

Does the store credit issued from trade-ins ever expire? Yes. The store credit from your trade-ins is valid for six months from its issue date. It’s in your best interest to pick up your due bill as soon as possible after you receive an email from us!

Why is the store credit you issue called a due bill? I have no idea.
