Used Book Sale

Back by popular demand is the Used Book Sale! CHEF is pleased once again to allow home educators the opportunity to sell and swap books so they can buy new ones!  While we are happy to accommodate, we need to establish a few ground rules. 

Service for Home Schoolers – The Used Book Sale is offered as a service for Alabama home educators. We want to help you sell books so you can buy new ones from our vendors. The Used Book Sale is not intended to be a place to run a small business or supplement family income.  Our sincere hope is that home schooling families will sell a few books and then attend the seminar sessions, shop the Vendor Hall, and enjoy the fellowship of other home educators.

Eligibility – In order to sell books in the Used Book Sale, you must be a home educator registered for the full convention; dealers or persons who are not registered for the full convention may not participate.  Tables are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.  To register to sell books register for the convention and indicate your desire to sell books on the order form.  You must pre-register for the full convention and indicate on the registration form your desire to sell books or register at the door by 9am on Friday morning the 9th of May.  Fees – We have arranged to rent tables from the BJCC for you to display your books.  To recover our cost we are charging each family selling books $10 for a 6 foot table.  The used book table fee is not refundable for any reason.

Limitations and Restrictions – The Used Book Sale is not intended to provide a market for you to operate a family business, but to provide a way to sell old books to generate cash to buy new books.  When you arrive, the registrar will give you a pass that will allow you access to the Used Book Sales area.  Sellers are responsible for their own sales.  CHEF cannot provide personnel to manage tables and money.  Neither CHEF nor the BJCC will be responsible for any loss of merchandise or money.  Sellers assume the responsibility for all such losses.  The Used Book Sale will be open Friday only from 11:30 noon until 1:30 p.m.  All materials should be removed from the room by 5:00 p.m.
