How to Trade In Your Books for Store Credit
Trading your books is simple: just drop them off at the counter when you come in the store. You can go browse while we figure your trade credit.

Our Trade Method

We take great pride in the quality and selection of our books because we know how important that is to you. We will consider any book that is in good condition, whether paperback or hard cover, for trade. However, we generally do not accept books with the following problems:

• Loose or missing pages
• Tape on the cover or pages
• Water damage
• Ripped or torn pages or cover
• Food or drink spills
• Dirt, mold or mildew
• Damage of any sorts

Trade Credit Categories

Credit issued for books in the category of General Fiction, Mysteries, Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Romance areas.
Some high end prices books are NTC (no trade credit), But most of the Genre does go under the trade credit policy.

*Note: We do not accept encyclopaedias, General Romance titles, pornography, Reader Digest, most house hold magazines,  National geographic magazines. We reserve the right to refuse any book.

So, how much store credit can you get for your used books?

We give a store credit for books traded in. The value is based on our estimate of the value of the books.

Generally speaking we give 1 quarter of the cover price for pocket books that are in excellent condition.

Most of our trading is done in pocket books but that does not mean we don’t trade in other formats. Other books we will give credit for 50% of the amount for which we think we can sell them.

Often there is a variation in this basic method due to supply and demand or condition of the books in question. We try to keep the quality of our books high so bear that in mind when you bring in books.

Store Credit can be used for up to 50% of a purchase. For example, if a book purchase costs $10.00, your total cash for this purchase would be $5.00, and money taken from store credit is $5.00. Which means you get a discount off on our prices of used books.

$10.00 book purchased
  -5.00  store credit (50% of purchase)
 +  .35   7% sales tax
——–
$5.35   total cash

Your trade credit left on your file will be used on future purchase. We, of course, accept debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, as well as cash.

Consignments

On very rare occasions we accept books on consignment to sell on a cash-only basis. Store credit may not be applied to the purchase of “Consignment” items.
