Buying Guidelines

We encourage our customers to bring their used books to Page One to resell.  Everyday our buying counter staff reviews merchandise based on condition and sell-ability.  We then offer your choice of store credit or cash (a personal check may be issued for transactions of $30 or more) depending on the value of the items.  Value is typically determined by desirability, condition, in-print prices, and current stock levels, and is not necessarily based on other stores' pricing strategies. 

With our rapidly evolving inventory it is impossible for us to give quotes or say which titles we would be interested in purchasing over the phone or via e-mail, so please bring your items to the store directly for all resale transactions

If you have more than 10 boxes, we ask that you call ahead of time to schedule an appointment.  This will enable us to have enough staff members on-hand to expedite your transaction. 


Our buying hours are as follows:

MONDAY-SATURDAY
10AM-7:00 PM

SUNDAY
10AM-5:00 PM

 

We do not guarantee that we will buy back merchandise that has been previously sold at Page One. Also, only one buy per customer is allowed per day, so please be sure to bring all of your merchandise for resale at the same time.

Any buys not claimed by the end of the day will be donated to charity the following morning, so make sure you return the same day you drop off your merchandise!

Before you bring your used merchandise to Page One, please review the following list of items we will never take.
