How To Sell, Trade or Donate Your Books and CDs

Molly's is always looking for a wide variety of high quality books and CDs. In choosing our inventory, we go book by book, considering the condition, desireability and whether or not we need that particular title at that particular time. There's no way of telling whether we can actually use the book or what we can pay for it until we actually see it. We do accept donations but we still have to be selective as to what we can accept.

If you only have a few books, just bring them in during store hours and we will evaluate them and pay you cash or issue credit on the spot. In general, we give 30% of our shelf price in store credit or 10% of our shelf price in cash. Credit can be used for books, CDs or food and beverages. If you don't see what you want at the time of the trade, we can issue you a credit slip, which can be used anytime. (Please note that you are responsible for the credit slip, as we don't keep a record of them in the store.) If you have a large collection or more than you can comfortably walk in with, we will ask you to get the books and CDs that you're interested in selling together, so you can give us some idea of the subject matter, condition, age and number of books.

Either call the store (215-923-3367) or stop by (1010 S. 9th Street). We will try to get as clear a picture of what you have to sell as possible, to save you the trouble of lugging down boxes of books that we won't be able to use. If you have a big load of books and you really don't know what you have, say, for instance, if you're settling someone's estate or cleaning out a house, we might ask you to bring a sample box or two by so we can get an idea. Under certain circumstances, we can make house calls but we prefer that you bring them to us.
