Books By Chance
read moreAs of December 2019, we are taking steps to close down Books by Chance. It is a process that will take months, possibly over a year. We have stopped taking in new inventory. We are expunging our oldest inventory items, which go back several years. We will otherwise continue to sell the inventory we have until most of it is gone and clients are paid. Remainders will be donated or returned, depending on client preferences. Our tiny business has served us, our clients, and the community, well for over 18 years, but it is time for a change.
About Us
read moreBooks by Chance started selling in 2001. Consignment services were formally introduced in April 2005. As of October 2013 we have sold over 155,000 items to customers around the world. Fundraising is integral to our effort and we have raised over $97,000 for good causes in the Ann Arbor area. We are John Weise and Stephanie Bentley, the owners and operators of Books by Chance LLC. Ann Arborites for over 20 years and alums of the University of Michigan, we live with their two kids Sam and Chloe in the Eberwhite neighborhood close to downtown Ann Arbor.
Contract
read moreIt has always been our goal to pay our clients as fairly as possible. Honestly, we would love to pay you more. However, full-service selling of books, CDs, and DVDs requires a lot of labor and storage, which are also of the advantages of letting us do the work. The consignment period is indefinite. If an item has not sold in a year, we will probably contact you about removing it from our inventory. You may cancel at any point for any reason. We have developed an amazing software program that monitors prices on Amazon.com and resets the price of each book, CD, and DVD more than once each day.
