Book Buy-Back

Best price offered LAST week of each semester.

The Bookstore's commitment to students is to buy back as many books at the end of each semester as can potentially be resold the following term, usually over 80% of book titles.

Students can sell back books any time, but the best price is offered during the last week of the semester/session for those books that are needed the next immediate semester. Books sold back at ANY OTHER TIME will be bought back for a used book dealer and only at the "wholesale" prices listed in the dealer's catalog.

• During the last week of each semester, the Bookstore will pay up to 50% of the original NEW price on all copies NEEDED on campus for the following semester – regardless where purchased.
• Books bought back are then re-priced USED and made available for the next semester at 75% of the current new price.
• Discontinued books may still have a "wholesale" value, if the edition is current. The Bookstore buys these books for a USED BOOK company that resells them to other schools. "Wholesale" values are approximately 25% of the original new price.
• Following are reasons the Bookstore may not buy back certain titles:

  Faculty changes text for the following term;

  Publisher changes editions of text; or

  The Bookstore may be overstocked on a particular title.
