We will buy back textbooks at fair market value: if books are needed for future use and there is sufficient demand. If demand for a textbook has decreased, the buyback price will be reduced. Textbooks not needed by the Bookstore may possibly be sold to NBC for wholesale price, which NBC establishes.
Reminder! Textbooks sold as packages that included CD's and/or other books must have those items included for Buyback!
Note to online Students who will be shipping your Textbooks for Buyback:
We strongly recommend that you check the Bookstore's buyback website to make sure your book has an estimated value before sending it to us. Estimates are not a guarantee of pricing. We understand that online finals are given on Friday of finals week and due to shipping time, we would like to suggest that online students use the following terms buyback session. In most cases, this will give them better pricing (buyback is on a first come first serve basis) and allow for shipments to be sent in a timely manner.
No exceptions will be made if a buyback is received after the closing date. Buybacks received after the closing date WILL BE held for the next end of term buyback (dead and finals week) unless specifically noted by the student to sell during an opening buy (first two days of the term). Please note that supply and demand dictates pricing fluctuations per term, so estimates received from a prior term are not valid. Typically, buyback pricing will show on the website one week before the actual buyback opens. Book buyback is for textbooks only.
Book buyback is for textbooks only. However, we will buyback Science 101 Electrical kits. This item will not be listed on-line as Buyback items!
Please print your Buyback quote and include it with your shipment! In addition please provide the Bookstore with your:
1. Student ID number
2. Your phone number
3. Your email address.
This will enable us to provide you the best possible service! Your shipment must arrive at the Bookstore before the last day of Buyback as listed above.
