Selling books to Half Price Books stores?

Have you ever sold your books to Half Price Books supplies? If so, do they give you a honest amount for them? I have lots of fiction/chick lit type books…about 15-20 of them. Do you reckon it would be worth it to sell them? Do they have to be in mint condition?

It honestly varies from store to store, but keep in mind that most of them (maybe even as high as 80%) only offer trade-ins or store credit and do not in fact pay cash unless they advertise it. Typically, you’d be looking to get around a quarter of the price at least in whatever payment they offer, and while they don’t have to be in mint condition, some supplies are pickier than others and have a certain expectation of quality. Most supplies will flip through each book to make sure there are no huge defects such as torn out pages, underlining, or additional things. Some might refuse to take hurt books at all, while some will take them for a lesser price.

Before you go lugging 20 books down to a store, call ahead and question how they do their business, because if you’re looking for cash they might not work that way and you may maybe save yourself the trip. Also, a lot of used book supplies tend to offer less for certain types of “chick lit” (such as romance novels) because they usually have hundreds of them brought in all the time, so question what their policies are.

Bottom line, if you don’t read them anymore, why not swap them in for something else? I used to do it all the time, and it let me try a lot of different authors I might not have if I’d have had to buy them new.

Answer by Brent P. Newhall
Well, it all depends on the going price of the book. Some books normally sell for hundreds of dollars (particularly technical books); others go for a few dollars. You’ll get half that at a half-price book store. The worse the condition, the less you’ll get.
