How Booktrader Works
Our Prices:
-Used paperbacks are half the retail price
-Used hardcovers are $5 each, unless otherwise marked
-All new (straight from the publisher) books are 20-30% off the retail price
-Audiobooks $7.50 for CDs
-Bookmarks, cards, magnets and other gift items are discounted 20% off the retail price
How We Take Your Books:
-We only give store credit
-Paperbacks receive 20% of the retail price in credit
-Hardcovers if we take them (we are taking very limited hardcovers) receive 20% of the price we sell them for (which is usually $5)
How Store Credit Works:
-Credit goes towards half your purchase. Example: A $10 purchase becomes $5 when credit is applied. (This makes your paperback purchase a quarter of the retail price.)
-Give us your information, we’ll put it in the computer and the computer tracks your credit.
-Your current balance will always be on your receipt (though we don’t need you to keep it).
-Credit never expires.
-Just give us your name when you check out, and we’ll apply your credit.
-“Why can’t I cover my whole purchase with store credit?” We’d love to let you, but unfortunately, we have yet to find electric, water, and phone companies that accept books as payment. You’ll always have to spend something out of pocket to allow us to keep our doors open.
We’ll accept most books, EXCEPT these:
-textbooks
-encyclopedias
-magazines
-hardcovers of books we have in paperback
-moldy books
-heavily warped, waterlogged or stained books
-books missing pages or covers
-Rule of thumb: Would you buy your book in this condition? If you wouldn’t, it’s not likely anyone else would either.
If you bring in books we cannot accept, we can either return them to you or donate them to the library or a charitable organization.
If you want a book and we don't have it - we can order it for you! Call or email us today at [email protected]. We can pack and ship to anywhere too. Just let us know.
