Are you running out of space for new books? Does your family think you need psychological help for hoarding curriculum, manipulatives, or science supplies? Are you tired of looking at the purchases you never used? The new school year is coming fast! Make room on your shelves for new curriculum by joining the BCHE Used Book & Curriculum Sale!
The Book Sale is part of our annual Conference & Vendor Fair, which will be held on July 15th, at the Abilene Convention Center. Don't want to sell, just want to shop? See Conference Registration.
How to SELL your stuff:
1. Register to sell your items by filling out the registration form. (The sale is organized in a consignment format. A seller number and labels will be emailed to you.) Registration is free.
2. Download prepared item labels. Complete the labels with seller number and description, then print. (You may also print the labels and fill in the information by hand. Please make item descriptions clear and designate a category for each.)
3. Prepare your items to sell: All items must have a label.
‣ Items must be priced in WHOLE dollar amounts. ($1, $2, $3…)
‣ Sets must be bound together (with rubber bands, zip ties, etc. or in appropriately sized zipper bags)
‣ Labels should be attached on the FRONT (not the back, not the inside) of the item, in a way that best allows for item visibility. Painter’s tape is suggested to protect the integrity of the item and make it easy to remove by cashier.
‣ Small items, such as math manipulative pieces, need to be contained.
‣ Item Categories:
- Art/Music
- Math
- History
- Science
- Language Arts
- Literature
- Games/Toys/Manipulatives
