Trade Policy
Trade credit will be given for books that are in high demand, and that we do not currently have in stock. It has become increasingly difficult for us to remain in business if we accept every book that was bought in the store...potentially turning us into a library instead of a thriving, independent, local bookstore.
Due to this, we have been forced to ammend our trade credit policy to reflect these changes. Our trade policy is a courtesy to our customers and NOT our primary method of obtaining inventory. Therefore, we will ONLY accept those books that we are in need of at the current time.
-
Books purchased from Got Books! are not automatically accepted for trade
-
Books we accept must be clean and free of damage and stains
-
We will accept items that are popular and that we do not have in stock
-
For items that we accept we will give up to half of what we sell it for, and that credit can be used for any media item in the store that is not NEW or SPECIAL ORDER (Trade Credit Never Expires)
-
Trade Credit can be used for 50% of purchase amount.
-
Remaining trade credit can be used on next visit.
