Barnes & Noble.com to Sell Used CDs and DVDs

Great Values on Thousands of Titles Available Through B&N Marketplace

May 18, 2010 - Barnes & Noble today announced that it is selling new and used CDs and DVDs online through its Marketplace program at Barnes & Noble.com (www.bn.com). Thousands of titles are available from a wide range of trusted sellers. The selection is a comprehensive mix of both new and old titles, as well as titles that labels and studios no longer make available. This new offering expands the extensive selection of used book titles already available for sale on BN.COM through B&N Marketplace.

B&N Marketplace provides customers with access to tens of millions of new and used books, CDs and DVD titles from a network of trusted sellers. These trusted sellers ship items directly to the customer and, just like items sold by BN.COM, all Marketplace purchases are covered by the BN.COM Safe Shopping Guarantee.

Shopping for new and used CD, DVD and book inventory on the B&N Marketplace is seamless. When a customer chooses a CD, DVD or book, the search results pages show prices for both new copies and, when available, used copies. Customers can then click through the selections and decide which option is best suited for them.

"Our goal is to provide our customers with great values on a wide selection of both new and used items. B&N Marketplace, which currently has more than 75 million items, is expanding to sell new and used titles in the CDs and DVDs categories," said Jamie Iannone, executive vice president of product and shopping for Barnes & Noble and B&N Digital. "Our customers will now be able to buy across books, textbooks, CDs and DVDs-- and shop great values on a wide selection of used items that are available for secure purchase through our network of trusted sellers. And our Members get the added benefit of Unlimited Free Express shipping in one to three days on new items when they shop on BN.COM."
