Sell your books
We Buy Books for Cash
We are always in the market to buy second hand vintage books, newspapers, magazines, prints, posters, drawings, maps/charts and historic ephemera.
This can be from either private vendors having a clean out or estate/private collection sales.
A large part of our mission is to get old book collections back into the hands of readers who will appreciate them as much as the last owner did, rather than ending up being thrown out.
How do we start?
Just email us some photos of your items and we can quickly provide you an appraisal and offer. For larger lots we can travel to complete a full appraisal, once a offer in principal is agreed.

Our Points of difference
- We purchase from all over New Zealand.
- Our appraisal service is fast.
- Our prices paid are among the highest industry wide.
- Payment immediately direct to your bank account.
- We normally take care of the shipping for you.
Feedback from vendors that we have already purchased from is included in our customer feedback, as displayed via each product listing.
What we are not looking for
We do not sell collections on consignment or self-published new books. Nor are we interested in Mills and Boon, glossy magazines, childrens books, fiction including paperbacks.
