Here's the best way to sell books to us. We have a small space so we are SELECTIVE about what we can take in. We can't take random large donations; we don't sell through Amazon or other huge online retailers. We want to sell books our local customers will love to browse and read. We do pay cash or store credit (used books only).
Take a photo of your stack of good-condition paperback science fiction, fantasy, horror, recent fiction, quality mystery, LGBTQ+, graphic novel, and classic literature books. Email it to us at fedstreetbooks@gmail.com -- let us know how many books you have. We'll reply quickly with what we can take and give you an ESTIMATE of what we'll pay ($.50 - $3.00 based on condition and cover price; pricing is at our discretion) and when you can bring them in.
We might take other subjects (nature, philosophy, quality poetry, food writing and good cooking, children's, recent paperback history/sociology/science -- send us a snapshot) but we do NOT take rare books, hardcover fiction, health/wellness/nutrition, new age, religion, military history, sports, or encyclopedias.
If you can't take a photo, please give us an idea of how many books you have (please stick to the categories we mention above!) and we can set up a time for you to come in. If we don't have a full list or see what you have, we can't give you an advance estimate.
Please plan ahead. Our policy is designed to keep you from lugging boxes and being disappointed. We have limited space and cannot accept walk-ins or house large boxes we aren't expecting. We're a one-person shop and phone calls aren't always convenient, either.
There are certain times of the year when we'll suspend book-buying, particularly during winter/holiday months or other special events.
DO NOT LEAVE DISCARDED BOOKS OR "DONATIONS" OUTSIDE OUR STORE. THAT IS LITTERING. Please do not bring us moldy or dirty books.
