How It Works

Three Steps To Trade Credit

01
Sort & Bring It In
Sort items for condition. Limit of 1 container per day for media/kids' books, 2 containers per visit overall.
02
We Evaluate
Typical wait is 30–60 minutes, longer on weekends and holidays. Browse while you wait.
03
Cash Or Credit
Take cash, or a higher amount in trade credit good for two years in the store.

Size Limit

One Container Keeps It Fair For Everyone

A container is a banker’s-box-sized carton, a medium bag, or one of our gray tubs. Limit of one per day for media and kids’ books, up to two containers per visit overall. Got a collection larger than 20 boxes? Email us photos and details at Info@wavebooks.co.

Leave It As A Drop-Off

We'll evaluate your items within 24–48 hours and post credit to your account. Items we can't use are donated or discarded; we can't hold them. Prefer cash? Wait in store or return by 6pm the same day.
