You should expect about 25% of the market value as the store has to make a profit.

So if a somewhat new good condition hardcover has a retail price of $40, the store would likely sell it at $20 and offer you like $8 cash or 10$ credit

I wasn’t expecting more than 50 purely because of the amount of hardbacks and the quality I keep my books but to have over 15 books total $14 was quite disappointing

It could also be whether the store already has too many of a title or thinks a title won't sell...or the owner doesn't have any competition, knows he has you, and is being a greedy arse
