Duration

As it takes time for in-store and social media outreach to reach a wide band of customers, we prefer that the consignment duration be for at least 6 months, renewable by mutual agreement.

Selecting stock

We prefer that there be a visit to view the stock and select those that will be consigned. This permits a friendly discussion of terms, pricing, and logistics. Dealers at a distance that makes this impractical may call us and discuss options.

Exclusivity

If B&F consigns books to you, we will de-list them from our web-site, and of course will not have the physical tome. This ensures that the customer deals only with you and there cannot be any confusion over who is vending the book. B&F asks for the same consideration in return.

Pricing

Our experience is that books valued at less than $8 are poor candidates for consignment selling. The owner of the book can set the price. If sold, the net proceeds can be split 50% to each party.  Please contact us for more details on pricing and management issues.

Delivery

If the books are to be physically transferred, B&F is happy to deliver or pick them up for free if within a 100-mile radius of Perry, Rochester, or Buffalo. Distances beyond that may require cost-sharing.

Referral compensation/An alternative

You may not wish to take possession of the books and market them. You may, however, be able to describe them and motivate a customer to visit B&F and purchase them. If so, B&F is ready to offer a referral honorarium. Please contact us for further details.
