Many of the books and resources at PACE are brought in on consignment by homeschoolers who are no longer using them.

• Owners receive 40% of what the item sells for after it sells, payable in an annual check mailed to them ($1.50 fee), or held in cash at the store for pick up (no fee). There is a $25 minimum to mail a check; if this is not reached, it just rolls over to the next year.
• Consigned items do not have a specific time allowed to remain on the shelf. They will stay there as long as they are current. If there is an edition update, the items may be automatically relocated to the bargain section or may be disposed of. The owner is not notified of this change because it generally involves hundreds of books at a time, it is just the natural progression of aging curriculum. Also, books that become overstocked may be moved back to the bargain section even if they are still current. This does not happen frequently, but it is a sign of a flooded market for that particular item.
• Owners can remove their own books from consignment at any point if they are still on the shelf. There is no charge for this. You must pull your own books though.
• There is no minimum or maximum quantity required to open account.
• We do not keep an inventory of what is on our shelves. Items are recorded at sale, so we can provide a list of items you have sold, but we cannot provide a list of items still on the shelf.

What we accept for consignment:

• Most homeschool-branded curriculum that is in its current edition, with no writing and all pages complete (there is some leeway to this with popular workbooks missing several pages or with 2-3 pages of writing, but the price will be adjusted).
• Classic reading books, reading books that go with homeschool curriculum (e.g. Sonlight), phonics readers. Also classic series like Little House, Boxcar Children, American Girl, etc. We do accept abridged classics for the bargain section.
• Supplemental items and educational aids like science equipment, math manipulatives, flashcards, maps, coloring books, videos, audiobooks, games, educational puzzles, felt boards etc. These must be complete with all pieces.

What we do not accept:

• Public school textbooks
• College textbooks
• Cyber school curriculum
• Homeschool curriculum old editions
• Software – depends, but most of this ages out too quickly
• Sonlight manuals older than 3 years. Readers that go along with the manuals are fine.
• Video, DVD, streaming supplemental course materials, like ABeka or BJU streaming programs– Much of this is illegal to resell because you didn’t purchase it, you leased it (the actual textbooks are fine). Also, anything with an end-user license agreement (Eg. Rosetta Stone or DIVE), photocopies or copied CDs.
• Books in bad shape, written in, or missing pages
• Antique books – if it is in good shape and a classic title, we might accept it, but we have no knowledge of the potential collector’s value.
• The Good and the Beautiful (LDS), SDA or Catholic specific curriculum.
• Bibles, adult devotionals, adult Bible studies, Christian titles unrelated to homeschooling programs (exception: we take children’s Bibles)
• Parenting books
• The following current edition items we are no longer accepting permanently due to poor saleability:
  • Shurley English
  • Videotext Math
  • Alpha Omega Lifepacs
  • Tapestry of Grace
  • Konos

If you’re not sure, bring it in – we will sort your books while you wait. Alternatively, you can email us pictures of the ones you aren’t sure about, and we will let you know. Unfortunately, from a selling point of view, curriculum does not get better with time. If it’s been sitting in your basement for 20 years, it likely no longer has resale value.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions or if you would like to know your account balance. Email requests are preferred.

Thank you!
