Nothing to a landfill.

A few things to know
Before we talk.
What kinds of inventory do you buy?
We buy publisher remainders, overstock, and out-of-print books across all subjects. We also buy random assortments, including thrift store inventory and assorted books discarded by major online retailers. Complete lots and mixed pallets are welcome.
What should I include in an inventory list?
If you have an inventory list, include ISBNs, quantities, and warehouse location. For random assortments, share an approximate book or pallet count and a description of the lot.
Can you arrange shipping?
Yes. We can arrange shipping for books we purchase. We’ll work through the freight details with you as part of the purchase.
Do you sell to individual readers?
Yes. Alongside our wholesale business, we sell books to individual readers through online marketplaces.
