Frequently Asked Questions About Our
Consignment Program
What are the costs to my organization?
None at all! No fees, no shipping, no service agreements. You provide the books and other media items, and we will provide you with high quality, profitable, hassle-free service with no obligation on your part. You can end your relationship with Bookconsignments.com at any time.
How much will my organization earn?
Your organization will earn 35-75% of the net sale price* for each item. The higher the value of your items, the higher the percentage you earn from net sales. Please note that for exceptionally high-priced items, we can negotiate a higher percentage of the net for you.
*The net sale price is the amount an item sells for less the commission paid to the online sales venue.
How does the consignment process work?
We come to your location and help you select books, CDs, and DVDs to be sold online. Then we take your items, do the research to price and list them for sale, process sales orders, ship, and manage all customer service. You get a check for your earnings for the items sold.
Our library has community book sales and/or a book store. Will the consignment program replace them?
No. The Bookconsignments.com consignment program is a supplement, not a replacement. It is not designed to reduce your ability to have your book sales or maintain your book store. Most items that are donated to you would still be available for community book sales and store sales. However, we can help you MAXIMIZE your revenue to help you achieve the financial goals of your organization.
Every library, public or private, knows that when budget cuts happen, their budgets are quickly defined as targets. Friends of the Library groups and Acquisition Librarians are now very receptive to selling select, high-value items to dramatically increase revenue for their organization.
Our group is divided; some are interested in consigning books, while others are resistant to change. Any suggestions?
It is a testament to your group that there is such care and compassion for the organization you support. Before we can address those concerns, we would ask if the organization is getting all the funding support it has in the past. Is the group getting the annual increases to help keep up with rising operating and materials costs?
If your organization needs to generate more revenue, doing the same thing will probably not produce different results. Again, the Bookconsignments.com consignment program is not a replacement, just an opportunity to get more cash for items of higher value.
Why should we choose Bookconsignments.com to consign our books and other media items?
