Terms of Sale

When we purchase a book in full from our customers, we:

Establish a fair market price for the book offered, using auction records, current catalogue and book fair pricing, and Internet pricing. This is the retail price of the book

• Establish the wholesale price of the book (typically half of the retail price), which is the price that we can afford to pay for a book.
• Offer this price to the seller.
• Upon acceptance, pay the customer the full price at that time.
• When we accept books on consignment from our customers, we:
• Research and suggest retail prices for the consigned books.

Sign a consignment contract where:

• The customer realizes 60% of the sale price of the books, and
• The Children's Book Gallery realizes 40%.

Payments to the customer are made 90 days from the receipt of sale funds, to insure that consigned books are not returned within 90 days for a refund.
