Monday, December 19, 1983 Daily Nebraskan r? C ) HERE'S HOW! 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 in structor that the book is to be re-adoptad for the next semester, and if the bookstore does not already have a sufficient stock on hand, then the student will bo offered 60 of the pub lishers current list price. For instance, a book which currently sells fcr $10.00 new, and which meets the requirements noted above would be worth $6.00. It would be resold 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 nation's largest jobbers of used textbooks. The buyer will be happy to answer any quest ions which you may have regarding the price paid. Q. Is sixty percent the usual price paid for text books around the country? 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 paperbacks. 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 exception is 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 Finals Week. Books will be bought December 12-17 & 19-21, 8:30-4:30 at North Union Main Lounge and 9:00 4:00 at East Union Bookstore. East Union will not be open on Saturday Dec. 17. I ) n. ."
