What items can I trade in?
You can trade in your books in one easy to manage trade. We are unable to accept media items unfortunately and can only accept books that have an ISBN number.
How do I enter my item details?
It's simple! Your Books all have a barcode on the cover. Simply locate the barcode and type all of the numerical digits above or under the barcode into the search box, including any at the beginning or end of the sequence that may be smaller than the other characters. All you need to do here is type in the ISBN above or under the barcode. If your book does not have an ISBN on the back, then it will be on the publishing details page at the front of your book. In most cases this will be a few pages in from the cover. If it does not have an ISBN at all, we cannot accept it.
What is an ISBN?
The ISBN is a numeric 10 or 13-digit number that is unique to each individual book. It appears next to the barcode on most books and in instances where it doesn't it can be found on the publishing page.
What is a barcode?
A barcode is a machine readable representation of ISBN. This information relates to the product it is attached to. It looks like a series of vertical lines differing in thickness.
What condition do those items need to be in?
We can only accept items with a barcode number, this is a unique 13-digit number used to
catalogue saleable goods.
Books need to have:
● No rips, tears, stains, water damage.
● No writing or highlighting(Except textbooks or author sign or gift notes on first pages).
