| All About Textbook Buyback |
|
| Textbooks are generally bought back during study (or "dead") day and the days when final exams take place. During this time you can receive up to 66% of your purchase price (restrictions apply). |
| |
|
| An I.D., preferably student I.D. or driver's license is required in order for books to be bought back. Store receipts are NOT required to sell books back during final exam week. |
| |
|
| Textbooks are unique. There aren't too many items that can be purchased, used for months and then returned to the store for cash back. And selling them back to the bookstore is a great way to put some money back in your pocket at the end of the term. The University Bookstore buys back books no matter where you purchased them. |
| |
|
| There are several critical factors in determining how to value your books being sold back: |
| |
|
Condition:
Any book being sold back must be in good shape, with binding, covers and every page intact. Excessive highlighting, underlining or other markings may decrease a book's buyback value. |
| |
|
Course Materials Orders:
If an instructor has requested your textbook for the next term, then the value increases. Books falling into this category could be worth 50%, or more of the original purchase price. Generally speaking, textbooks will be purchased until we reach our shelf stock limit. |
| |
|
Overstocks and Current Editions Not Being Used on Campus:
Once we reach our limit on a particular title for next term, or if your book has not been requested for next term but is a current edition, we will pay you the highest national market price. |
| |
|
About Old Editions:
Publishers issue new textbook editions quite frequently. Ordinarily when a new edition becomes available, the old editions have little or no market value. While these types of books don't offer cash value, your book is far from being obsolete. Check with us for more details about these types of textbooks because there's no such thing as a "valueless" book! |
