What are my books worth?

We do not provide appraisals. Trade values are determined on a case-by-case basis. We will assess your books when you bring them in (time permitting), and base the trade value on a number of factors including the condition of each book, how many copies we already have and whether that title is on our wishlist. When we're done, we'll issue a trade credit receipt for your bookstore account.

Trade Credit Policy

Trade credit may be used only to purchase used books which are currently in stock. It can NOT be used for rare books, Florida books, special orders, DVDs, audiobooks, toys, games or New Arrivals. Unused credit will expire after three years.
