ThriftBooks® Launches BuyBack Program
2024年6月26日 - 11:00PM
ThriftBooks Global, LLC, the world’s largest online independent
used bookseller, has announced the launch of its new BuyBack
program. This initiative offers customers a convenient way to sell
their books directly to ThriftBooks and earn some extra money or
store credit from the books collecting dust on their bookshelves.
ThriftBooks’ BuyBack program encourages sustainability, giving
these books a second life.
ThriftBooks’ BuyBack program is designed to make it easy for
book lovers to pass on their pre-owned reads. Through the BuyBack
program, ThriftBooks accepts high-demand books based on
ThriftBooks’ inventory needs, provided the books are in good
condition. Books must be clean, free from water damage and missing
pages, with the spine intact, though showing some wear is
acceptable.
This program is open to both customers and non-customers of
ThriftBooks, provided non-customers create a ThriftBooks account.
Customers who have previously purchased books from ThriftBooks can
log into their account and view their ‘SellBack Shelf’ in their
account, which will show how much ThriftBooks is offering, based on
popularity and demand, to buy those books previously purchased from
ThriftBooks. Additionally, customers can enter ISBN numbers of
books not purchased from ThriftBooks to find out how much
ThriftBooks may pay for those books. Customers can cash out or turn
their payment into store credit to use at ThriftBooks.com or on the
ThriftBooks mobile app.
“BuyBack was the last piece of the puzzle we needed to help our
customers fully participate in the circular economy,” said Ken
Goldstein, chairman and CEO of ThriftBooks Global. “It takes a
surprisingly complex set of algorithms to deliver an exceptional
customer experience, and we’ve been studying the competitive
landscape for years. We worked through the details over an extended
beta period and now think our platform can respond to all the
learning we’ve gained from our customers. We think ThriftBooks
BuyBack will become the industry standard for recommerce and we
look forward to continuing to improve this experience with ongoing
customer feedback.”
To ensure a smooth buyback process, ThriftBooks offers a free
Prepaid Shipping Label for shipping the books to ThriftBooks.
Customers can find a link to this label on their ‘BuyBack Order
Detail’ page within the ‘My Account’ section of the ThriftBooks
website. Once ThriftBooks receives the box and confirms the
contents, the customer will receive payment.
At the time of launch, books sent back to ThriftBooks via the
BuyBack can only be shipped from the continental U.S., Hawaii,
Guam, Puerto Rico, and AFO/FPO/DPO addresses. ThriftBooks does not
buy Instructor Edition Textbooks, Examination Copies, Teacher’s
Editions, Advanced Readers Copy (ARC), items that are sexually
explicit and/or offensive, items marked “Not for resale,” or books
without an ISBN. ThriftBooks reserves the right to refuse to
purchase any books and to discontinue the BuyBack program at any
time.
