Cash for Books - About Buyback

Put some money back in your pocket by selling your textbooks back to the bookstore. Several factors are used to determine the cash value of used textbooks, including:
  • 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 next term, then the value increases. Books falling into this category may be worth more and get you a higher percentage the original purchase price. Generally speaking, textbooks will be purchased until we reach the amount we think we can resell.

  • Overstocks and Current Editions Not Being Used on Campus - If we have reached our limit on a particular title for next term, or if your book has not been requested for next term and is a current edition, we may still purchase it based on various criteria including the national demand and the needs of other bookstores.
