Bring your books in. Make sure they aren't torn, dirty, or outdated (no encyclopedias, textbooks, 2012 computer manuals or magazines, thank you).
While you shop, we'll go through them. You get 20% of the paperback's worth which goes into your account; when you want to buy a used paperback, that 20% comes off.
EXAMPLE: You trade in a $10 book.
Then, you buy a (used) $10 book.The original retail price was.. $10.00
...then our price is... $6.50 (35 % off)
MINUS your trade credit -$2.00 (20 % more off)
Your final cost is $4.50 (55 % OFF!)
Please keep in mind that all credit can be used on store merchandise only- we do not pay cash for books. Even if you have a large trade credit balance, the books are NOT FREE. You will always pay something- neither the landlord nor the IRS accepts books as form of payment (!).
When you're done shopping, come up to the counter and buy your books at a discount. Our computer system will keep track of the titles you buy so you won't buy them again (the "oops" factor) AND for every 30 books you buy you get one used book FREE.
