FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW SHOULD I PACK MY BOOKS?
We encourage you to pack your books in a sturdy box of appropriate size to keep them from becoming damaged in transit. Do not use newspaper to pack your books as the print from the paper can rub off and damage the books.
Any books that arrive in less than standard condition will be reduced in price and/or donated and you will not receive credit for it.

HOW MUCH WILL I GET FOR MY BOOKS?
SHORT ANSWER: It depends but we generally provide 20% of what we would sell the book at as store credit.
Because our inventory changes daily, it is almost impossible for us to say with certainty which authors or titles are most likely going to be of interest to us. Many factors impact our decision to purchase a title including the popularity of the title/author/subject, the rarity of the title, and the consumer demand. The silver lining to our changing inventory is that items we pass on today could be desired in the future and you are always welcome to resubmit at a later time.
We buy based on current inventory needs and recent sales history and pay a percentage of what we think the copy can sell for or has sold for in the past. In addition, the price we offer may not be a reflection of the books we currently have in stock and can and will fluctuate daily as our inventory history changes.
WILL YOU AUTOMATICALLY BUY BOOKS BACK THAT I'VE BOUGHT FROM YOU?
No. We buy based on the current supply and demand of our inventory, which changes daily.
WHAT ABOUT BOOKS YOU DECIDE NOT TO PURCHASE? CAN YOU MAIL THEM BACK?
Books sent in error or in a condition that prevents resale will not be returned to the seller.
