TRADE SYSTEM​

TRADE AND CREDIT POLICIES:

 

• Store credit is issued for items you wish to trade with us.

• Your credit has NO expiration date.

• Credit can ONLY be used on used merchandise.

• Once you accept the credit for your merchandise, that credit cannot be changed and merchandise becomes store property.

• 50/50 Policy: We issue trade credit based on the current demand and salability of a book. Credit is often – but not always – based on a percentage of the original list price of the book and may vary. Credit may be used to pay for one-half (1/2) of your used book purchase. The other half (1/2) of the used book purchase price will be paid in cash/check/charge. Credit may not be used for new books, or any other items other than used books, videos, CDs and DVDs. Credit accounts may not be “cashed out” at any time. Credits do not expire as long as we are in business. To stay in business, we MUST have cash business. We cannot pay our bills in books, so cash is a must.​​

• If books are left on our porch or by the front door, they will receive NO credit and we will not be responsible for figuring out where they came from and who gets credit and will consider them a donation.

CONDITION: Please bring in only books that are in clean, readable condition with covers and spines intact. Below is a list of guidelines we use to determine if a book will be rejected:

 

• Should not smell of cigarette smoke

• Should not be moldy or torn

• Should not have spiders, bugs, pet hair, or dirt on or inside the book

• Should not be marked, highlighted, tattered, or dog-eared

• Should not have stretched binding on spine

• Should not have bent pages

LIMITS ON INCOMING ITEMS: If you bring in more than we can process at the incoming desk in a reasonable amount of time, we will ask you to leave them as a large order and pick up later in the day or the next day. If you choose to leave items at our trade-in center, you are agreeing to the credit and disposal of your unwanted items to the charity of our choosing. ​

SELLING: In certain cases we will pay cash for books. This is at the discretion of the owner and she will determine pricing per book. Please call to meet with her to conduct a sale.

The amount we offer for merchandise, in cash or credit, is NOT negotiable. Prices and policies are subject to change at any time.
