Sell your books over the counter any day of the week. If you have several boxes, make sure to arrive at least an hour before our buying tables close or consider calling to make an appointment.

You can also head to our warehouse in Northwest Portland and enjoy the convenient, free parking. You can also drop off your books and return later.

If you're coming in to sell us textbooks that are up-to-date and currently in use, be sure to bring a current student ID.

Please keep in mind that each of our locations buys used books, but each location buys only for its own need.

If you have a large collection of books and would like to schedule an appointment, simply email us a list or video of the inventory at sell@powells.com, or call us 503-228-4651, ext. 1448 or toll free: at 1-800-878-7323, ext. 5622. In your email or phone message, please include your name, geographical location, and a phone number, if possible, so we can offer you the best service.

If your collection is large enough (a bookstore inventory or large private collection) and you're in the United States, we may be able to send a team of buyers directly to you.
