Book Buyback
Each semester the bookstore invites a representative from a national used book company onto our campus to buyback your textbooks. The buyback is always scheduled for the Last Three Days of Finals Week. This year's tentative Fall Semester buyback dates are December 12, 13 & 14, 2007. The Spring Semester buyback is tentatively planned for May 5, 6 & 7, 2008. The visiting used book company will be located in the Student Center across the hall from the bookstore during these dates. Please watch the Bookstore's webpage for exact dates each semester.
The Bookstore authorizes the used book company to pay you 50 percent of the new book value for your books, as long as the text is being used the following semester. If you purchase a used textbook and are able to return it during the buyback, you can save a great deal of money on your textbooks each semester. As an example:
| Math 1000 textbook costs |
$100 new |
$75
used |
| Buy back price you receive for a re-adopted book | $50 new | $50 used |
| Net
cost of your book for the semester |
$50 new | $25 used |
Please note, some books do not have any buyback value. For books which are not on the buyback list, the book company's representative will determine the amount you receive based on national demand for your textbook.
If you have any questions regarding buyback procedures, please call the CWC Bookstore at (307)-855-2201.
