Repurchase condition and selling price are determined by performing the unique number of and the member information verification subroutine for the buyer of the book.

The book purchaser's member information confirmation subroutine, as referred to in FIG. 3, determines whether the book member is registered in the book discount sale and repurchase management system of the present invention by requesting the book number of the book buyer.

In this case, if it is confirmed as a registered member, the selling price is determined at the first discount rate from the list price under the precondition of repurchase, and if there is no input of the member registration number or the entered member number is not registered in the process of determining whether to register as a member.

At this time, if there is a cumulative point, the cash amount corresponding to the cumulative point is subtracted from the sales determination amount to calculate the amount to be paid by the credit card, and the card payment is completed by paying the final amount calculated as described above.

On the other hand, if books for sale are discounted on the condition of repurchase of members through the book market (11) such as internet shopping mall, bank stand, general store, ARS, etc., the book discount sale and resale Purchase management system 10 determines whether the repurchase applicant is a registered member.
