We buy your Books
If you’ve got your college or university textbooks lying around the house collecting dust, you should head over to webuyyourbooks.com immediately. As the name suggests, this service works in reverse of most online stores, i.e. instead of selling you something, they are offering to buy your old (or new) books. Most people do have books which they no longer read or have no space to store, and this is an excellent opportunity for them to turn those dusty books into cash.
As noble as the service may sound, it is not a charity. It is rather a win-win situation for both the users and the people behind We Buy Your Books. The reason for this is that while they offer competitive pricing for the books you sell to them, the prices are understandably below the market value. This allows them to resell the books to others for a profit. However, they do offer a price guarantee and will better the price of any book buyer by 5% if you are able to get a better deal elsewhere on the Internet.
The website itself is straightforward and intuitive to use. All you need to know is the ISBN number of the books you want to sell, and you need to enter this code into the space provided on the website. You can enter up to 20 books at a time, and once you are done, you need to click on the “Price my Books” button.
This does two things; firstly, it will tell you whether or not they are buying a particular book; and secondly, if they are, it will tell you the price which they are willing to offer for it. This feature is quite powerful since it also extracts the other details of the book such as the author and a picture of the book’s cover and displays it along with the price information. This assures customers that the book has been identified correctly by the system.
webuyyourbooks.com buys most books in over a hundred different categories ranging from Accounting Books to Computer Books to Painting Books and Wine Books, but there are some books which they do not typically buy. These include older books, books without ISBNs, encyclopedia sets, magazines, music books, comic books, books that are marked as not for resale, books that are in poor condition, romance series and western novels, outdated text books, outdated computer books and Time-Life books.
Once you have priced your books, you can then proceed to check out, which will generate a packing slip listing the books you have included in your transaction. The next step is to pack your books in a shipping box and to include the packing slip with the books. If your books are worth more than $10.00, they will even pay your shipping cost, provided you ship by USPS Media Mail. If your books are below $10.00 they will cover half your shipping cost. If you ship by any other method, they will reimburse you for what USPS Media Mail would have cost.
Once they successfully receive the books, you will be paid either by check or PayPal, depending on your preference. In case your books get lost in transit or you do not ship according to your packing list, you can always get in touch with their friendly
