BookStand vs Bookish Santa

Buyback is convenient. A storefront is a business.

They set the price

Quick cash, thin returns. You don't run a shop — you liquidate stock.

No storefront

No ongoing brand, no digital editions, no reader list.

Not a marketplace you control

BookStand is your catalog and checkout. You decide what sells and for how much.

One-shot model

Great for a clean-out. Bad for a bookshop year.
