We do have one consignment partner who periodically looks through our "special priced" books, mostly library sets and other multi-volume sets. We always have many of those left-over after any given sale. All-in-all, we still have more books than we can possibly sort and sell, so we take many steps to raise as much funding as possible for the library. Allowing some books to go out on consignment is one of those steps. We love having shoppers find just the book they're looking for, but some books have only a very limited market.

Was always a GREAT sale to attend in the past.... But oh well, I guess that makes that more fewer people that you have to worry about showing up It’s too bad that ya’ll let a consignment business take over your books before the sale… Was always a GREAT sale to attend in the past….
