BUYBACK ONLINE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: BUYBACK ONLINE

HOW IS PRICE DETERMINED
The pricing formula is simple. Generally, if a book will be used on our campus the following term, we will give you 50% of the retail price of the current new book price. If the book is being used at a campus elsewhere you will receive anywhere between 0-33% of the current new book price. Books that will not be used again have zero value and unfortunately, we cannot give you any money for these books.

WHAT CAN I DO IF I FIND THE PRICE OFFERED TOO LOW?
If the book has not yet been adopted on any campus you can list the books, in fact, you can list all of your books in BuyBack Alerts. As soon as a participating campus adds the title you will be notified via email of the new, current buyback price.

HOW FIRM IS THE PRICE?
The demand for the book is finite and is maintained in real time. The demand decreases instantly with every sale and can expire quickly as other students line up across North America at end of terms to sell their books.

DO YOU BUY STUDY GUIDES OR CD ROMS?

Some schools do, some don''t. As long as it has an ISBN number you can search and won''t miss any opportunities at participating schools.

WHAT IS AN ISBN?
ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. All books have one and each edition of a title has a different ISBN.

CAN I SELL A BOOK I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED USED?
Yes. We will give you the same amount of money back, depending on the category (retail, wholesale or no value), regardless of whether you purchased your book(s) new or used.

DOES THE PREVIOUS EDITION OF MY TEXT HAVE RESALE VALUE?
Not usually. The system buys based on ISBN to ensure the correct and most current edition is purchased.

CAN I SELL BACK BOOKS IN ANY CONDITION?
The decision belongs to the buyer at each school. We want used books not abused books. We reserve the right to refuse to purchase damaged books or books that are unlikely to be repurchased by other students.

WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE TITLES ON THE LIST?
Late adoptions or a change in editions, a different book being used on the same course are some of the reasons. Only those books that are certain to be used on a campus make it to the list. Ask your instructors to adopt early and adopt the same book to help increase the numbers and value of used textbooks.
