How Credit Works

For any books we can take, we will usually give 20% of the original publishers price in credit. EX: if we accept a book that originally cost $7.99, we will give $2 in credit. In some cases of older book or books not in ideal condition, we may give 10% credit instead.

Your credit is kept on file with us, and can be used by yourself or anyone else you choose to add to your card. Your credit gives you a discount on purchases you make. If you have credit on file with us and you make a purchase, we will apply your credit to the subtotal of your books. We do charge a small trading fee for using credit, which is 10% of the original price of any books you are purchasing (EX: if you purchase a book that was originally priced at $7.99, the trading fee will be $0.80). You are responsible for the payment of this fee at the time of your purchase, plus any tax that is due for the purchase.
