What you need to know about the buyback value of your books

Books that we still need for classes for the next semester are worth up to 50% of the original new selling price depending on whether the book was new or used and how recent the edition is. No receipt is necessary, and it doesn't matter if you purchased it from us or a competitor originally – we only care about how many copies we need for the next class. These books are put back on our shelves as used books that save next semester's students 25% on their book purchases.

All other current edition books are bought back at national “wholesale” prices as established by the used book company we partner with to run our buyback. They buy the books we don’t need for next semester, and sell them to other campuses nationwide.  Wholesale buyback values vary according to national demand and how soon a new edition is due out, but usually range from 10-25% of the original new price. Novels, trade books and study guides usually less, but it all adds up!
