TEXTBOOK
BUYBACK INFORMATION
|
| |
|
At
our end of term buybacks in May, August, and
December, the bookstore will pay 50% of the
current price of a new copy of a textbook if:
|
| |
| 1. |
The
bookstore has received a request from the
instructor stating that your textbook is
being used for the following term. |
| 2. |
If
your textbook is in good condition. |
| 3. |
If
the bookstore is not currently overstocked
on the textbook. |
|
| |
| Buybacks
begin on the first day of finals. The sooner
that you can bring your book to the store, the
more likely it is that you will receive half price. |
| |
For
books that are not needed here on campus, the
bookstore acts as an agent for several used book
wholesalers. We provide this service so
students can sell their books even if we cannot
buy them at the higher bookstore price. The prices
paid for used books are set by the wholesalers.
Many factors contribute to the price set for books
by the wholesalers, including: |
| |
| 1. |
Release
or pending release of a new edition - old
editions have no resale value. |
| 2. |
Supply
and demand for the book in the textbook
market. |
