Profits for Your Store and Savings for Your Students When You Order Used Books
Used books represent both a tremendous profit potential for your store
(achieved by realizing a gross margin of 33%, 8% higher than that of new books
from the publisher) and a terrific value for your students (saving them 25% as
compared to no discount on new books). As the nation's largest textbook
wholesaler, MBS offers the marketplace's best selection-in breadth and depth-of
quality used books, in stock and ready to ship.
