Fayetteville’s Buy/Sell/Trade Guide

Ever wonder how we take boxes and boxes of … STUFF… and turn them into gleaming shelves of used books and more, ready to feed your head? Read on and find out with the Fayetteville store’s guide to buying, selling, and trading.

How to Sell Your Items

Bring your items in boxes or bags. No appointment is necessary! Just walk right in. We work on a first come, first serve basis, so expect some waiting time if there are others ahead of you. You’ll usually get more in Trade Credit than in cash. Trade Credit NEVER expires and can be used at any of our stores. Please note that we do not guarantee that we will purchase merchandise that came from our store.

Be prepared! If you’re selling items for cash, please make sure that you have a driver’s license or state-issued ID with you. You must be 18 to sell items to our store for cash.

What We Don’t Want:

We wish that we could buy everything that came into the store, but alas, it’s not possible. There are several types of merchandise we don’t want:

  • Books with water damage, broken spines, tears, pages missing, excessive writing or highlighting, mold, etc.
  • Library or ex-library books
  • Encyclopedia sets
  • Magazines
  • DVDs or CDs missing cases or booklets
  • Scratched or cracked discs
  • Previous rental VHS

These are only examples. We also take into account our stock and the popularity of your items, both of which are likely to change daily.

What We Pay Cash For

  • DVDs
  • Unscratched CDs
  • Video Games and Hardware
  • Current Textbooks
  • Some Vinyl Records
  • Some Nonfiction
  • Some Classic Fiction
  • Audiobooks on CD
  • iPods

    • Some items we only pay Trade Credit for, including:

    • Most Fiction
    • Children’s Books
    • VHS Tapes
    • Scratched CDs
    • Audiobooks on Cassettes

    Spending Your Trade Credit!

    It never expires, but it just might burn a hole in your pocket. Trade Credit can be used on:

    • All books except current textbooks
    • DVDs
    • CDs
    • VHS Tapes
    • Vinyl Records
    • Audiobooks

    It’s not that hard, is it? So gather up a box of books, those DVDs you never watch anymore, or maybe that video game you beat six months ago and drop by. We’re open seven days a week.
