With Fnac, estimate the value of your books and sell them to give them a second life

Vous avez des livres chez vous à ne plus savoir qu’en faire ? Même si pour certains, il est impensable de s’en séparer, pour d’autres, les revendre, ce n’est pas un problème. Avec le déploiement en tous genres des services de l’occasion, c’est même un moyen de récupérer quelques euros, de faire du vide, tout en donnant une seconde vie à ses bouquins.

A sustainable consumption that Fnac wishes to highlight.Since July 19, 2021, the brand has launched "a new service, which allows you to file its old books in store in order to offer them a new life," she said in a press release.

In collaboration with the Booch Break

For this new service, the Fnac has established a partnership with the French start-up La Bressie aux Books, online platform for used books.Since its launch in January 2020, it has "made it possible to offer a second life to more than 350,000 pounds everywhere in France", rejoices Alexandre Taillandier, co-founder and president of the start-up.

A certain health crisis and confinement effect and an appetite for this more responsible mode of consumption thus boost the second -hand book market, estimated in France at 888 million euros, according to a study by Xerfi Precepta.It is 12% of the 7.4 billion euros generated overall in 2020 by the second -hand market.

Not all books will be taken over

Precision however, you will not be able to get rid of all your books so easily.By testing the app and wanting to estimate the value of several of our books, the following message has indeed appeared to us several times:

There may be several reasons for a book to be taken up by the Book Stock Exchange:

Among the genres that leave well, the co-founder of the start-up mentions children's and youth literature, comics and manga, novels and literary works, specialized books…

If this is not the case after a year, the user can either recover his unsold books (package of 4 euros for the return of the package), or give them to partner associations.

After a phase of experimentation in the Paris region and then in several pilot cities in the region, Fnac notes "an average of 13 pounds per package, for an average value of 30 euros", indicates to Actu.fr Katell Bergot, second-life director of the Fnac-Darty group.

Nothing else to do except to deposit his books

To offer "a widest possible showcase", each book has the right to its announcement on the main e-commerce sites offering occasion on their marketplace: Fnac, Ebay, Amazon, Cdiscount ...

A way also to position yourself in the face of other actors in the second -hand book, whether from particular to particular such as Leboncoin or Vinted, or via specialized sites like Momox, Recyclivre, Emmaüs label ...

By means of a 10% book stock exchange commission on the sale price.The partnership with Fnac will allow you to enjoy a "strong local establishment" to even enhance the products, recognizes the president of the startup.The service is deployed in 150 Fnac stores in France.

To more responsible consumption

This territorial network (and this new service) also allows Fnac, an actor now essential in e-commerce, to recall that its network of "physical" stores always has its role to play with customers.

It is also a question of going sustainably "towards a more responsible consumption", underlines Katell Bergot.

What to "increase the share of the occasion and promote the circular economy to limit the effects of overconsumption", as the Booch Stock Exchange claims, while recognizing "that there is no opportunity S 'There are no new ones ".
