We have created an advanced bulk ISBN entry tool that caters to those who wish to sell books in bulk. The process is simple, fast and by far the most efficient way to start earning cash for your used books.

Features

Great reasons for using this new tool:

How It Works

Here’s a handy step-by-step guide on how to sell books in bulk using the Cash4Books.net Advanced Bulk ISBN Entry:

> Navigate to the page

On the Cash4Books.net homepage there is a link below the ISBN entry box called “Advanced Bulk ISBN Input” that will take you to the tool.

> Enter your ISBNs

Simply paste in a list of up to 5,000 ISBNs, each separated by a new line, from a spreadsheet or csv-style text document.

  • You can use the 10 or 13 digit version of an ISBN.
  • If you want to check a certain quantity for an ISBN, simply add a comma or Tab after the ISBN followed by the quantity.
  • The entry tool will automatically clean any extra dashes and spaces in your ISBNs so you don’t have to spend extra time with formatting.

> Price your books

Hit the ‘Calculate Prices’ button below the entry box and watch your items get priced right in front of your eyes.

  • If you see a mistake in your ISBN list you can press the ‘Stop’ button at any time to halt the pricing process.

> Sell your books

After your list has been processed you will see all of the items we are offering money for listed out for you.

  • Any items for which we couldn’t accept your full quantity will be highlighted in yellow for easy spotting.
  • There is also an ‘Add To Cart’ option next to every ISBN allowing you to have maximum control over the books you wish to sell.

The Core Values of Cash4Books

At Cash4Books and McKenzie Books our core values define and guide our company. They influence the way we do business and the way we conduct ourselves every day.

Recently we decided to update the wording of our core values to reflect the way they influence our actions on a day to day basis. To accomplish this, we tapped into the power of verbs and brought together a team to look at our definitions without changing the ‘core’ of each value. The result is a more action-oriented description of what lies at the center of our culture.

For some of these values, this meant changing the single descriptive word, while for others it involved dropping a suffix and overhauling the definition. Because of the ‘core’ nature of these values, the basic idea of each remained constant. Now we have a list of values that characterize the actions we take every day.

Without further ado, here are the Cash4Books and McKenzie Books redefined, exciting, action-packed core values!

Be Honest
Conduct ourselves with integrity, honesty and fairness. Open communication and uncompromising service is the cornerstone of our company.

Commit to Excellence
Strive to be the best and aspire to the highest level of excellence in our service. Empower our employees to contribute and excel.

Improve Continuously
Embrace change, drive innovation and promote excellence. Encourage bold and creative thinking.

Celebrate!
Create a fun and productive work environment by rewarding and recognizing each other for our hard work and contributions.

Make a Difference
Engage passionately to provide support with our time, talent and treasure. In this way, we contribute to the sustainability of our organization, communities and the world around us.

Why didn’t Cash4Books want to buy my book?

That’s the most frequent question we hear from our customers looking to sell used books at Cash4Books.net.  It would be nice to have an easy answer, but the truth is there are almost as many answers as there are books.  Let me explain just a few of the universal truths of used book buying.

Universal #1:  Ye olde basic law of supply and demand.

Blame Adam Smith.  While Smith wasn’t the first one to come up with the idea, he was the first to popularize the “Law of supply and demand.”  In the used book world, this means we base much of our decision to purchase a book on how well it is currently selling and how many copies we have on hand.

At Cash4Books, we consider this decision as both an art and a science.  The science comes from data we accumulate from our own sales history and current online marketplaces.  Skilled and experienced bookselling professionals who review of our buying list provide the art.  Our current buying list includes over 280,000 unique ISBNs.  And, yes, it really does change daily.  Here’s our example list of some that we’ve bought recently.

Universal #2:  Condition, condition, condition.

Just like “location, location, location” are the three most important things in real estate, “condition, condition, condition” is what sells a used book.   Cash4Books loves books and knows that you do too.  However,   some books have been ‘loved a little too much’ to appeal to another reader.  We try our best to let sellers know what we expect on our Condition Requirements page .   So, if your book isn’t in a condition that the next reader will love too, we can’t purchase it.

Universal #3:  Survival of the fittest

In the world of books this could be rephrased as “survival of the best fitting packaging.”  Modern postal and freight transportation systems are efficient, but that doesn’t necessarily mean your book package will be treated with tender loving care from the time it leaves your door until the time it arrives at ours.  Your book will be handled, bundled, conveyor belted, sorted and resorted countless times between points A and B.  Unless your books are carefully packed in sturdy boxes using strong tape, they may arrive at Cash4Books looking like this:

Shoeboxes are not meant for booksNot well paddedCrushed box

If you don’t want your books to arrive looking like these we suggest following these simple steps:

  • Use a sturdy box. Don’t use thin cardboard boxes (such as cereal boxes or shoe boxes), as those will not protect the books in shipment.

  • If necessary, cut the box down to fit your books  and  use bubble wrap, wadded plastic grocery bags, or wadded newspaper to fill any remaining empty space after cutting the box down.  Don’t use styrofoam peanuts, as they crumble and get between pages.
  • Affix your  shipping label with clear packing tape on  the top of the box.

  • Use plenty of packing tape — the reinforced kind, if possible – and wrap it all the way around the box in several places.

  • Keep the weight of each box under 40 pounds. While there is a weight limit of 70 pounds per box, but we advise going no more than 40 pounds per box.  Boxes over 40 pounds often result in boxes falling apart and damaged and/or lost books!
