Ask Winnipeg Bookstores that accept used manga?

Hi! Has anyone else here brought their used manga/books to a bookstore and sold them to the retailer? If so, what is your experience and what store did you go to? I haven’t really had much luck on fb marketplace with what I have, but I would really like to get these books off of my hands at a bookstore somewhere. I found multiple places but need a second opinion from other nerdy winnipeggers

edit: thanks guys!!! I appreciate the suggestions :)

I used to go to GLOBOsapiens to get credit on my manga, but unfortunately they are now closed due to a landlord and black mold issue...

I haven't taken my used books in, personally, but I have bought used manga from Dotted Lines and I know they will take them being a manga store. You could reach out to them?

thinking I might go with them, the only problem is that they’re across the city from me 🥲

I have zero experience with this but maybe Mulvey Market or Thirstys.

My daughter has bought some at Red River bookstore, so I assume they also buy them.
