Sell Your Books To Book Off

Topics: Books, Book Stores, Selling Items

It is easy to sell used Japanese-language books in good condition. Book Off (http://www.bookoff.co.jp), or any other used book bookstore, should be able to give you around 10% of the cover price for your used books. If you have a large enough stack, they will even come out to your house and pick up the books for you. These companies make their money off of purchases from consumers, so they will usually welcome your sales. They take manga (comics), hard covers, paperbacks, maps, and almost any other kind of books in good condition.

The homepage is in Japanese only, but they have a store location search function. They have 728 stores all over Japan, and there are similar chains as well.

Book Off won't come to your house, but you register on the site to have Pelican-bin (a delivery service company, http://www.takuhonbin.ne.jp) come to your house at a time you specify. You send the books chakkyubarai (a type of shipping in which the receiver, i.e., the Book Off store, pays for shipping costs upon receipt) and Book Off deposits the appropriate amount of money into your bank account. It looks super easy, and you can do it from anywhere in Japan. You can use this service if you have 50 items or more (50 books, or 42 CDs and 8 books, or whatever).
