Joshua Ellis | Sep 17, 2019
Benjamin A Marlin | Sep 17, 2019

Figure about 30-50% of what similar book sells for on Amazon, to give them operating costs and profit margin. If you can afford to set up an Amazon marketplace, you will make a much better profit. But if you just want to unload some old books - particularly in bulk - it's a fairly good deal.

They certainly sell all of those items. Consoles and games alike. When you go in, turn to the right and there is a trade in counter. You can drop off your console and games there and browse the store while they determine what they will and will not take. Mostly it depends on the condition of the items, the demand for the items, and the rarity of the items. They will put your name up in a board when they are done and go over what items they will buy and how much they will offer you. You can choose to accept the offer or take your items back.

It's not poor customer service. It's due to the high volume of business they do. The ones in TN take in on average over 10,000 items a day. Books are shelved on atleast a weekly basis by section. The amount of money you save per book is worth the 2-3 minutes it takes to search a section.
