About ThriftBooks

At its most basic, ThriftBooks is a Seattle-based data-driven online second-hand bookstore. That’s a mouthful. Let us explain …

We buy used books that the original owners no longer need. We buy them from libraries and thrift stores and schools. We do this at scale – hundreds of millions of pounds of books per year. We comb through these cast-offs looking for books that we know our customers will love. We add the best books to our inventory. The rest we recycle. We list our inventory on thriftbooks.com where people can find the lowest-priced books on the internet. We also sell on third-party platforms like Amazon and eBay.

We began in 2003 with a small storage unit in Seattle and have grown to over seven million books in seven fulfillment centers across the United States.
