Consignment Info and Quarter Books

As some of you know, I have been limiting the consignments I’ve been accepting for the last year. But we have really reached a critical point of overload.

Because of this, I need to get even choosier about what I take. Additionally, I will no longer be accepting any books for the bargain section. I am in the process of converting 1/3 of the bargain section to regular books, because I’m desperate for the space. (More about bargain books below.)

This isn’t to say that I don’t need consignments brought in, I do. I am definitely looking for certain things that are hugely popular and I’m having problems keeping them in stock. I will list some things here that I currently do and do not need.

I am in need of (current edition only):

  • Anything published by Master books
  • Anything published by Notgrass and the readers they use
  • Anything used by Classical Conversations
  • Saxon math, fifth grade and up
  • Apologia science (not Bible)

I’m accepting more than this, but it’s more hit or miss based on how much of a particular title I have in the store. Abeka and Bob Jones fit into this category. Classic novels, too–some titles I really need, and some I have 20 copies of. This is always fluctuating, so I’m happy to go through them when you bring them in.

Things I am currently not accepting, hopefully temporarily:

  • Singapore primary math
  • Horizons math teacher editions
  • Life of Fred, except calculus and financial stewardship
  • Science kits and equipment

Things I don’t accept (and it’s not likely to change. Please see a more comprehensive list under the Consignment tab on the website):

  • Anything not current. That means it’s not the latest edition sold by the company
  • Anything not a homeschool publisher, so no public school brands, no cyber school brands
  • Anything from the dollar store, Ollies, Five Below, etc.
  • Books on parenting, general Christian reading or Bible studies, Bibles, college texts, testing books(SAT, CLEP, AP etc)

Bargain Books

Because I am clearing out 1/3 of my bargain section, I will be selling those books removed for a quarter each. I won’t be running the usual quarter sale event like I’ve done in the past, but I will keep a table on the front porch with crates of bargain stuff for a quarter apiece, until they are all gone. I won’t be able to put it all out at once (it’s over 2,000 books) so I’ll constantly be adding to it. This starts tomorrow.

My hours for April are Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday 12 to 4

Thanks!

Julie
