I recently visited Half Price Books intending to sell 14 books. Before going, I researched the used selling prices for 10 of those same titles at this store. The total resale value listed by the store for those 10 books alone was approximately $347.
I was therefore shocked when I was offered just $5 for all 14 books combined.
I understand that resale businesses need to make a profit, and I did not expect to receive the listed resale price. However, an offer this low feels unreasonable and lacks transparency. It gives the impression that customers are not being offered fair value for their items.
I would strongly encourage others to carefully consider their options and do their research before selling books here.
