To contact me please send your questions and comments to kathy@rodeghersusedbooks.com                             I  recently held a sidewalk sale Aug. 20-23.  Everything was 1.00.  The first day it rained and the sale was mostly held indoors.  On the second day the weather was great and that was the best day of the sale.  The sky was overcast on the last day so the sale was held inside.  It never rained a drop that day but sometimes that's the way things go.  The last day of the sale everything was .50.  From 3PM to 6PM ,  books,video's,cassettes and whatever else was on the sale carts, the price was  4.00 a bag.  Bags were loaded up and many people were happy.   I am planning one or more for next year.  I will post the dates.

BOOK CREDIT: (trade ins) I do not pay cash for books. I do figure out a credit for books you bring and the credit is kept on file  with your name and address.   Each time you make a purchase, you still pay for your books, but you will get 50%  discount.  For instance,  if your purchase totals $10.00,  you would pay $5.00 plus tax, and the remaining $5.00 would be deducted from your credit.  Leftover credit just remains on file until you use it up.   Books are not free.   It  may not seem fair that you have to pay for your books while I don't.  If I paid cash I would be much more selective of the books I accept and I would have to guess what books you might want to buy.  This way,  I put out as many books as my shelves can hold and if a book does not sell after a while,  I remove  it.  You keep your credit whether I sell  your books or not.  The book credit may also be used for books on tape, books on CD, music CD's, videos and DVD's.

 MORE ON BOOK CREDIT:   The book credit is figured like this: mass amrket paperbacks at 25% of the printed U.S. cover price, no less than 1$.  Hardcover and trade size paperbacks get 1/2 of the individually marked price. If a mass market paperback book has $7.99 printed on the cover as its U.S. cover price, then your credit for that book would be $2.00, which is 25%  of $7.99.  For the hardcover and trade size paperbacks, if I price the book at $5.00, then your credit would be $2.50.  I figure the credit for each book, add it all up, record it with your name, address and the day and month of your birthday and keep on file for whenever you want to use it.

I DO NOT ACCEPT: condensed books, magazines, library discards, encyclopedia's, computer books,badly worn, torn, or coverless books,pre-2007 harlequin or soullette romances, no water damaged or underlined books.   Also, please do not bring more than 4 hardcover fiction.  It just does not sell well, even at my  low prices ( usually $5.00)  I do, however, welcome hardcover non-fiction.

DROPPING OFF BOOKS: Please do not bring more than one bag or box per visit.    If you drop them off without me going through them first,  I will dispose of the ones I do not  keep at my discretion.  I either donate the ones I can't use or throw them out.  My space is limited and I cannot store them.

RETURNS:  Cash refunds are at the descretion of the management. This means you will not get a cash refund unless management finds it justified.  However, you can turn books, DVD's, videos, and CD's for credit.
