Guaranteed Buyback FAQ

What is Guaranteed Buyback?
Our GB program has been developed to help students reduce the cost of course material. If the book is on our GB list we guarantee that we will purchase the book for a specified price at the end of term buyback. Students know up front the "minimum" value of the book at buyback. Yes, we said minimum. There is a chance that your book may be bought back for more but it will not be lower than the guaranteed price advertised. You simply purchase your book and use it and then it return during the end of semester buyback for the cash value promised.

How does this differ from your regular buyback? Great Question! At our buyback counter we purchase books for use in our own store at 50%. If we aren't using it, you have an opportunity to sell it to a wholesale used book company. These prices change often and it is hard to predict what the price could be when you sell. Normally they pay more for books in high demand and less for books with little demand. With GB, we have already determined some of the books which will be bought! So, if your book is on the GB list, you know for sure how much you can sell it back for. By working with our used book wholesaler, we are trying to put more dollars in our student's pockets. We are excited to do the work to secure the best pricing at buyback on behalf of our students. 

What if my book is not on the GB list?
We are still running our great buyback program at the end of each term and you may still get a great price for your used book. You should still bring your books to the buyback counter when you are finished using them and find out how much your book is worth. 

Is this program for New books only?
That is the best part! We are going to buy back your used book or your new book! Now you are really saving! Please be aware that your used book will be graded at the buyback counter. If it is in less than good used condition, it may not meet the condition that GB books need to be in. See conditions below.

Do you buy books in any condition?
We will buy used, not abused, books that have covers intact, no excessive highlighting or writing and no water damage. The book has to be resalable to another student. If the dog really did eat your book ...we really can't sell it to someone else. 

How do I know if my book is in the guaranteed buyback program?
Your book will be identified on the shelf as a GB with the "minimum" buyback price right there so you can do the math. 

What if I decide to keep my book?
If you want to keep your book, go ahead. You are under no obligation to return the book at the end of term with this program.
