How does this work?
Check-in: Optionally, bring books and get a voucher for each book you brought. If you have books worth over $20 that you want to include in the silent auction, you'll specify the minimum bid.
Shop: Select the books you want. Journals and magazines are free – please limit yourself to 5.
Silent auction: The more valuable books will be auctioned. Bidding will close at 11:30. If you want to leave before then, we'll contact you for payment and delivery.
Check-out: If you brought any books, each book entitles you to take a book. If you want more books than you brought, pay $5 for each additional book.
Examples:
Bring 5 books, take 7 – pay $10
Bring 5 books, take 3 – no money back
Bring no books, take 3 – pay $15
