When
December and May. Check with the Bookstore
for specific dates and times.
How
The bookstore will buy your textbook for half the
purchased price if the following conditions are met:
•
You must present your BSC student ID to
sell your books.
•
Your professor has ordered the book for the
next term prior to buyback.
•
The bookstore is not overstocked (there are
enough copies for the next class).
•
The book is in usable condition. Books with
missing pages, missing covers, water damaged
pages, and/or loose sections cannot be bought
back.
•
If you bought a package (textbook bundled
with supplementary material) all parts of the
package must be included when selling it
back.
The bookstore does not purchase course packets,
study guides, work books or lab manuals.
If the Bookstore cannot buy your book
The bookstore has a national used book vendor
to conduct each buy back. They may need your book
if we are overstocked or it’s a current edition and if
it is not being used again. They will not pay you half
price as the Bookstore would, but you have the
option of keeping your book or trying to sell it at the
next buy back. (Some courses are only offered once
a year or every two years and the professor may or
may not order the textbook again. By holding your
book there is the chance it could go into a new edi-
tion.)
Please remember the purpose of buy back is to
save you money by providing used books for the
next term, not to buy books that are no longer used.
