Textbooks are so expense these days. University bookstores are all about making money and most do not have a used book department. Other local stores may have a used department, or you might even be lucky and have a used bookstore nearby; however, often the price they will offer is ridiculously low. Even if you do decide to sell you books to a used bookstore, you have to lug them down there and, the store may or may not accept them. If they do not accept the books, you then have to either lug them off to another store, or take them back home.
With Cash4Books.net, you do not have to wonder if they will accept your textbooks. They have a place on their website, where you enter the ISBN, and they will automatically tell you if the book is one they are accepting. ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. It is on all modern books, and it is unique to each book title and type. For example, a hardback copy of a book would have a different ISBN than the same book in paperback. When you enter the ISBN number, their system will look the book up, and either quote you a price, or tell you they are not purchasing the item.
If they quote a price, you can decide whether to accept it or not. Once you have accepted the price, for each of your books, you will then be able to print off a shipping label. You are also able to enter a that can give you some extra cash for your books. After you are done, obtain a strong box and pack the books up safely, attach the shipping label and send the items off. Do not forget to include their packing slip, so that they know it is from you. The shipping if free to you, Cash4Books.net pays all those costs.
Not all books will be accepted. They can only accept books which meet their guidelines, and which they feel they will be able to resell on the open market. The condition of the book is vital as well. If you have underlined and highlighted three quarters of the book, it will not be purchased. As you can imagine it will make it difficult to resell. A small amount of highlighting and underlining is ok, but not more than 15% of the book.
Other condition issues would be fire damage, or missing pages, just things that would make the books unsalable to another customer. If you are a heavy smoker, please check first before trying to sell your books to this company, as they probably will not buy them. This is a great way to make some money towards next year’s textbooks and to get back some of that money you had to shell out at the beginning of the semester.
