Welcome to BookBuyers Used Books & Media

Buying & Trading in Monterey is done whenever the buyer is in the store. You are advised always to call first to check for buyer availability.

We will consider most books, but are especially interested in:

Non-Fiction - Eastern & World Religions, Esoteric and Occult, Crafts, Art, Gardening, Cookbooks, Technical, Transportation, Children's
Pocket Paperback (Mass Market) - Fiction and Non-Fiction, especially paperback Mysteries & Sci-Fi, any date if in great condition

CREDIT: Store trade credit can always be given for books, books on tape and select other merchandise. We accept only those items that we think we can sell and of which we have few or no duplicates. The amount offered in trade credit is based on our estimate of the price we will charge for the item, how long it will take to sell, availability, and condition. Your trade credit remains valid until used; it will never expire.

GENERAL TRADE CREDIT: May be used for anything in the store with these exceptions:

Current Year Calendars, Book Covers, and other new specialty or promotional items
Items marked "N" in front of the price. The "N" (Not for General Trade) items consist primarily of large format books, discounted new books and new audio books for which we have paid more than usual. Most "N" items are new; however, many new items are available for general trade credit. Normally "N" items cannot be charged to your general trade account. General trade credit may be used for "N" items by charging your account DOUBLE the marked price.

CASH: Cash is offered for a very limited range of items. We are more likely to pay cash for books in categories in which we specialize or have ongoing shortages. The most likely cash areas are: large expensive pictorial books, cookbooks, metaphysics, eastern religions, chess, quilting & crafts, children's hardcover trade editions with dust jackets, fine condition pocket paperback sci-fi and detective mysteries, and current releases in many areas. Cash may be offered for a broader range of items when we buy large collections, libraries, or from estates. In addition, you should note that we offer about 1/2 as much in cash as we would have in trade for the same item. We are, however, happy to consider your items for cash.
