Half-wit

I usually resist the encroachment of national chains. Half Price Books is an exception. I appreciate that they place equal emphasis on literature and dreck. I’ve uncovered many bargains in their stores. But I recently learned about the flip side to that equation when I sold them a couple dozen books. Even on the titles I bought used from the same store weeks earlier, I received only pennies on the dollar. Unless anyone has tips regarding this process, in the future I’ll just donate my discards to a charitable thrift store.
