How do I sell my book?

You can sell your book in 2 ways:

1. Direct to us at up to 30% of the retail price. This way you can get cash, a direct transfer or a cheque. We only accept some books this way.

2. On consignment through us (we act as your agent). You can charge up to 66% of the retail price. We will take a 20% commission of the sale price for selling the book for you. So you will get 80% of the sale price. When the book is sold, the money is directly transferred to your preferred account.

3. Example: your book cost $100 new.

Sell Direct to bookshop: you will get up to an absolute maximum of $30.
(more likely $10-$20)

Selling on 'consignment' you get more "bucks for your book"!
On consignment: you can sell it for up to $66.
When it sells, you will receive $53, and we will receive $13.20 commission.


To see if you can sell you book in either of these ways, follow this 3 step process:

1. Check your book is a current edition, as we will not accept outdated editions. Go to http://www.coop-bookshop.com.au/bookshop and search. If it comes up but says limited edition, it is a no-go.

2. Register your details on our website by becoming a member: www.sa.uts.edu.au/books
You will have to enter your contact details, bank account details, and the book details. (You do not need to do this step if you are selling direct to us.)

3. Bring it into the Bookshop: located opposite the SA office and the food court on level 3 of the Tower building.
