Put off by Bookoff

As I was packing my room to get ready to move to a new place tomorrow, I thought maybe I could sell some used novels away to lighten some load. So I brought five books, four of them paperbacks (some Tom Clancy's and Dan Brown's), and a hardcover Harry Porter, to a local bookstore called Bookoff. Bookoff is a chain in Japan where you can sell used books and CDs for cash. Happily thinking that I might earn some cash, I was way off, way way off.

Guess how much all those books worth? A FREAKIN' 50 yen!!! That's 10 yen for each book.

I quickly gave them the best "disbelief" look I could make, said no, and went home.
