Our Used Book Program is BACK and better than ever at Colfax!
As you likely already know, our Used Book Program has already returned to our Aspen Grove location (click here to learn more about their buying hours and buying process as it is different than the details listed below for Colfax).
The details of this new and re-established program are as follows (please be sure to read carefully and closely as several details have changed from how we used to accept used books):
MAXIMUM SUBMISSION: 15 BOOKS
OUR BUYING HOURS:
Sunday: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Monday - Friday: 12:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Saturday: 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
UNFORTUNATELY WE CANNOT ACCEPT:
-
Cloth hard covers without dust jacket
-
Dated material (computer guides, travel guides, almanacs, etc.)
-
Excessively worn condition (torn, moldy, water damaged, yellowed, broken spines, etc.)
-
Underlined, highlighted, or personalized books
-
Textbooks, large sets (encyclopedias, complete series)
-
Book editions exclusive to other retailers (e.g. Target exclusive, Scholastic Book Club editions)
-
Self-published books, print on demand books, ex-library books, magazines
OUR BOOK BUYING PROCESS:
- Check our appointment availability by calling the store the same day you would like to have your books evaluated. We will do our best to accomodate you outside of scheduled appointment times, but it is not guaranteed!
-
Bring your ID and your books into the store during our buying hours. All submissions are processed at our Reserve Desk at the south end of the store.
-
You will meet with our used book buyer, who will count your books and fill out some paperwork for your submission
-
You will then be asked to wait 15-30 minutes or so while our buyer makes their decisions and returns to present you with a non-negotiable offer
-
If you choose to accept the offer, you will be issued a Used Book Voucher.
-
Vouchers are good only for the day they are issued, so they will immediately be exchanged for a Gift Certificate at our Reserve Desk. Gift Certificates do not have an expiration date.
We greatly look forward to seeing you and your gently used books back at Colfax.
