Buyback Policy at the Bookstore
Textbook & calculator buyback is only available during finals week at the end of each semester. If the Bookstore has a need, then we will make a cash offer regardless if it was bought new, used, or purchased elsewhere.
- Customers must present a valid Cougar ID number for all buyback transactions.
- Textbooks with a one time use access card are typically not eligible for buyback.
- Calculators must be in good, operable condition, with working batteries and a cover. Only one TI-84 ($50) and TI-30xs ($8) may be bought back per student each semester.
Factors that affect book value and buyback eligibility:
- Has your instructor reordered the book for the upcoming semester?
- Does the Bookstore need more copies, or have we bought our limit?
- Is the book damaged (missing pages, liquid damage, binding broken)?
- It there a pending new edition or is the book already an old edition?
- Was the book sold as a bundle, and are pieces missing (CD’s)?
- Was the access code used, removed, or scratched off?
- Is there a wholesale demand (are other colleges using this book)?
- We do not buy copies marked as international edition, instructor copy, or free copy.
