Buyback Information
The textbook buyback program allows students to sell unwanted textbooks at the end of each semester. The Madison College Bookstore offers in-store textbook buyback every fall and spring semester during the final exam week. We find this timing provides students the best prices for their used books. Students can also sell back their books online through a national vendor.

No, you do not need a receipt to sell your textbooks back.
Book value (up to 50% of the new book price) is based on the following.
1. Is the textbook being used again?
2. Condition of the textbook
3. Are all of the components with the textbook?
4. How many do we need of that title?
5. Is it a new/current edition?

The Madison College Bookstore has partnered with MBS
Textbook Exchange to offer online buyback, please visit online buyback page.
Please understand that the prices offered in store and at
our end of term buybacks are often higher than those offered through our online
buyback service. However, if you choose not to travel to the Bookstore or wait
for the end of the semester, buyback the online service may be an excellent
option for you.
Buyback is currently offered at the Truax campus only.
