Buyback Price Check

Each book has a unique ISBN number. This number is used to search our databases for a buyback price. You can find the ISBN of your book on the back page near the barcode. Enter the ISBN number of your book below.

Once you submit your book''s ISBN we search to see if a McMaster Instructor has re-adopted the book or if there is a demand at other schools across Canada.

Remember: Buyback price changes with supply and demand. So check back often.

Buyback Tip #1:

Always check first to see if we are buying your books back. Get A Quote before you lug your books to campus.

Buyback Tip #2:

Don't wait for a Buyback Alert. Sell your books when you're ready. Buyback alerts are usually sent out twice a semester but you can check to see if we are buying your books anytime.
