Q. What is In-store Buyback?
A. Each quarter, the College Store hosts an In-store Buyback. In-store Buyback gives College Store customers the opportunity to sell used textbooks that they no longer need to an independent book company that sets up their business in the College Store for a set number of days. Q. When is the next In-store Buyback?
A. Generally, In-store Buyback occurs during Finals week and during the first week of the quarter. In-store Buyback dates for each quarter are posted throughout the campus as well as posted on the College Store Hours and Events pages.
Q. Where do I bring my books to sell them back?
A. In-store Buyback takes place at the College Store Buyback Window which is located in Brier Hall. Please note: A valid student photo ID card is required for all In-store Buyback transactions. If you do not have your student photo ID and would like to participate in In-store Buyback, please visit our In-Store Buyback Policies page for more information. Q. How do I know which textbooks I can sell back?

And finally, if the publisher has released a new edition, old editions will have no value. Other restrictions may apply as well.
