SELLING:

Bring your books in to the HSF Used Bookstore and fill out the Used Bookstore Contract to provide us with information about you and your book(s). You must supply us with the price you want to sell your books for and your most current and complete contact information. We accept loose books and/or book packages (i.e. text with solution manual), but make sure you indicate this on the contract in the Book Title section of the form.

For each book that is submitted, the HSF Used Bookstore will deduct a 15% consignment/service charge fee from the Asking Price the seller specifies. On the contract, this will be noted as the Service Charge. However, the seller does not incur any charges when they drop off their books to sell because the consignment fee is paid for by the buyer when they purchase the book. The Total is the amount you will receive if your book is sold.
