Use Our Incredible Bargain Trading System We sell our paperbacks every day for 40% off their original list price. To save even more money you can bring in paperbacks you no longer want and we will give you half their original list price in credit toward the original list price of the paperbacks and books-on-CD that you purchase from us. As long as you have paperback trading credit you may apply the credit toward up to half of the original list price of the books/CD’s that you purchase from us. For the other half you simply pay the original list price less our standard 40% discount. If you do not use up all your credit, you can save it and use it anytime for up to a year. Paperbacks books and books-on-CD, with an original list price $ 3.50 or less, are treated as though the original list price was $ 3.50. These items are traded in 4 categories: CD/DVD, Science Fiction, Non-fiction, and Fiction. CD/DVD can be traded for CD/DVD, Science Fiction, Non-fiction, or Fiction; Science Fiction can be traded for Science Fiction, Non-fiction, or Fiction; Non-fiction can be traded for Non-fiction, or Fiction; Fiction can be traded for Fiction. Trading Hardback Books We sell our hardbacks every day for the marked price (in pencil) at the top right on the first right hand clear page. These marked prices represent the lower end of the current market price for these books. To save even more money you can bring in hardbacks you no longer want and we will give you half of our anticipated selling price in credit toward the marked price of the hardbacks that you purchase from us. As long as you have hardback trading credit you may apply the credit toward up to half of the marked price of the hardbacks you purchase from us. For the other half you simply pay the marked price. If you do not use up all your credit, you can save it and use it anytime for up to a year. Hardbacks are traded in 3 categories: Collectibles, Non-fiction, and Fiction. Collectibles can be traded for Collectibles, Non-fiction, or Fiction; Non-fiction can be traded for Non-fiction, or Fiction; and Fiction can be traded for Fiction. What we can take in for credit in paperbacks & hardbacks is subject to limitations as to condition, subject matter, quantity, etc., and is at our discretion. We will accept in trade books we believe others will want to buy. Specifically we cannot take items not in at least very good condition or missing any parts, Readers Digest Condensed books, broken sets, ex-library, book club editions, out of date non-fiction, text books, hardback fiction titles that are not currently very popular (must not be in paperback & must have dust jackets), books-on-CD that do not have their original packaging, series romance books more than one year old items we are over stocked on, items we or anyone else sold on clearance, etc.
