Second-hand books in Regina typically sells for C$4 to C$945 (about $3 to $675). Textbooks answer to the syllabus rather than to quality, and a superseded edition loses almost everything the moment a course drops it. Out-of-print titles with a steady following do the reverse and quietly climb.
Buying books in Regina
Regina is the provincial capital, sitting on flat open prairie with a large artificial park and lake at its centre, and it is where the national police force trains its recruits. It is a government and agricultural city, and the horizon here is genuinely unbroken.
Condition language means different things to different sellers, and a description of good covers everything from crisp to barely holding together. Handling a copy resolves that in seconds and is why serious buyers here prefer to come and look.
What to check in person
Smell a box before you take it, because books stored in a garage carry mould that will move to your own shelves. Confirm nothing is missing from the middle, and on study texts check whether an access code or disc was supposed to come with it.
Collecting it in Regina
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The city is flat and laid out on a grid, which makes driving and finding an address simple. Winter wind on open prairie is the real consideration, so agree a time when loading outdoors is bearable.

Government postings and police training intakes both move households on fixed schedules, producing complete and well-kept sets. Agricultural cycles supply the tools and equipment side of the market.
Give an honest count and a rough weight for a bulk lot, so the buyer brings a vehicle that can take it. Pack them into boxes that can actually be lifted, and say whether the boxes go with them. Textbooks move around the start of term; everything else is steady with a winter lift.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
