Used Books Pricing Strategy
For used books, I follow a typical "grading" structure for pricing. I take into consideration the age of the book, the overall quality of the book, and how popular a certain title might be. In general, I try to stick to the following outline (but keep in mind, there may be some exceptions):
For Like New Books: 50% off retail jacket cover price
For Good Condition Books: 60% off retail jacket cover price
For Fair Condition Books: 70% off retail jacket cover price
