We ask that your books are in acceptable or better condition so that someone else can enjoy them.

Guidelines for evaluating acceptable condition:

• The cover and all pages are intact.
• Minimal wear to the spine and all pages are firmly attached to the binding.
• Less than 30% of the book has highlighting/underlining or writing.
• No substantial damage to the corners, edges, or cover.
• No fire or smoke damage.
• No strong odor of any kind.

We do not buy:

• Instructor Edition Textbooks
• Examination Copies
• Teacher's Editions
• Advanced Readers Copy (ARC)
• Items that are sexually explicit and/or offensive
• Any items marked "Not for resale"
• Any books without an ISBN

Our BuyBack program is designed to accept only ONE BOX weighing no more than 60 lbs. If you have more books to sell, you can easily create multiple BuyBacks to accommodate them.

Yes, ThriftBooks covers shipping costs, but you must use the one-time Prepaid Shipping Label provided by us. You can find a link to the Prepaid Shipping Label on the confirmation page after finalizing your BuyBack or on your 'BuyBack Order Detail' page found within the 'My Account' section of our website.

No, please use only ONE BOX for your shipment. Using multiple smaller boxes will result in your BuyBack being rejected.

Once we receive your box and confirm its contents against the order, we will initiate payment to the PayPal account you provided. Please allow up to 3 weeks from the day you shipped your box for your payment to post.

We can only accept books shipped from the continental U.S., Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and AFO/FPO/DPO addresses.
