What is an ISBN?
The ISBN is on the back of the book near the barcode and usually starts with 978 or 290.
Buyback Terms
The Bookstore will buy books back from you any time during the year. We don’t have a start or stop period. All you need is your V# (student I.D. number) and your book(s). No receipt is required. The bookstore will purchase books on an as needed basis for up to half of the current shelf price or the current wholesale price.
Liquid damaged books and books with excessive highlighting, wear, or other forms of distress may not be eligible for buyback at the discretion of the bookstore (including missing front or back covers).
Not all books are able to be sold back. The bookstore will buy back books on an as needed basis. Buyback value is based on the books demand for the next semester. High demand books may bring up to half of your purchase price.
When a book is not able to be repurchased, or the price is less than half, it is either because we already have enough copies on hand, the book is a workbook, kit, study guide, or the book may not be used in the coming semester. The best time to sell a book back is during finals. Some books may have a limit on the number that can be bought back. Don’t Wait! Sell them as soon as you can.
It is up to you to make sure that you will not need the book for another course. Once a buyback transaction occurs, it is final.
Buyback information will not be given over the phone.
