| Condition | Missing pages, writing, tears, moisture and binding | Damage can reduce reuse suitability or change the scrap category |
| Demand | Subject, class, course, author and local requirements | Demand varies by academic cycle and location |
| Quantity | Number of books, complete sets and total weight | Quantity may affect buyer interest and pickup availability |
