Here are answers to some common
questions about used books.
Q. How does the University Bookstore determine how much my books
are worth when I sell them back?
A. If the bookstore has notification from the instructor that the book is
to be re-adopted for the next semester, and if the bookstore does
not already have a sufficient stock on hand, then the student will be
offered 60 of the publisher's current list price. For instance, a
book which currently sells for $10.00 new, and which meets the
requirements noted above would be worth $6.00. It would be re
sold the next semester for $7.50.
If the bookstore has not received notice that the book will be
used again, or if it already has a sufficient stock, the book would be
worth the current wholesale price as indicated by one of the na
tion's largest jobbers of used textbooks. The buyer will be happy to
answer any questions which you may have regarding the price paid.
Q. Is sixty percent the usual price paid for textbooks around the coun
try? A. Definitely not! Most stores in the United States pay only 50 percent
for books being used again. The University Bookstore is one of only
a very few which pay 60 percent. And remember we pay cash.
Q. What about paperbacks? Does the same policy apply to them?
A. Yes. The University Bookstore does not penalize you on text paper
backs. If they are being used again, and if the bookstore needs
them, they are still worth 60 percent of the publisher's current list
price. The only exceptions are mass market and English paperbacks
which are bought at wholesale prices.
Q. If the publisher's price has gone up since I bought my books, will I
receive the benefit of that prices increase?
A. Yes. For instance, if you bought your book for $9.00, and the pub
lisher's list price is now $10.00, you will get $6.00, not $5.40.
Remember Bring Us Your Books During Final Week.
Books will be bought May 1-2, and May 5-9
8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at the 0DC31 University Bookstore
