Understanding Points

Each book is assigned a point value at the time that it is listed. Since older books are worth significantly less than newer books, the point value of each book is determined primarily by its publication date.

Points by Age of Book

The age of the book is determined by comparing the publication date to the date of the listing.

Age Value
Less than 1 year 10 points
1 - 2 years 5 points
2 - 3 years 3 points
3 - 4 years 2 points
Over 4 years 1 point

Exceptions

There are some technical books that are not time sensitive. If a book is still listed in the top 2,500 on Amazon it is considered a Best Seller and it will be listed with a minimum 5 point value.

Also, if a book's condition is listed as poor, one point is subtracted from the value of the book. Therefore, it is possible to get a book for 0 points.
