TEXTBOOK BUY BACK

Buyback is May 12-23 for best prices. Buyback begins daily 30 minutes after the store opens, and ends 30 minutes before the store closes.

Buy back prices vary, depending on many factors, and some books cannot be bought back—reasons may include:  Book not used again on campus, new edition available, no national market value, instructors require new only (many books with tear-out pages, blanks filled in, etc.), bookstore overstocked, and water damage or missing cover or contents, including disks or tapes that came with the book.

Generally, the best prices are paid during finals, at the end of the semester.  At other times, most books drop in value.
