Their trade in is a little disappointing, I can show up with 10 books for trade-in and get maybe $20 in store credit.

They know most of their inventory will never move and it’s a way to deter you/protect whatever margin they have if any of it eventually sells.

Do they still have the program where you buy certain new books from them and they guarantee 50% trade in credit value when you return it?

Yup, as long as you do it within 60 days, so you basically have to read it fast.

Yeah they're 45 minutes away from me so I don't go there that often.

Sounds reasonable to me for a used book market.

If you have an extraordinary collection, contact Brattle. Be prepared for them to be unimpressed.

I guess it's just shocking because when I was downsizing my manga collection I was making bank but that was a lot more volumes. Ah well.
