What
types of identifications are required for all BuyBack transactions?
- Broward College student
ID card.
- A fee schedule, grade
report or transcript that contains the course information which corresponds
to the textbooks being sold back to the bookstore for all BuyBack
transactions.
What types of books are "BuyBacks"?
Books Readopted - these textbooks have been selected,
by the faculty, for the upcoming term. They may be bought back for up
to 67% of the original selling price
provided we are not overstocked.
Textbook
Bundles & Packages
- some textbooks are sold with study guides, CD's and other ancillary
materials. Please be sure to save all of the materials and bring them
back when you are selling back your books. This can affect the buyback
price significantly. Also, not all textbook bundles & packages are
bought back to be resold in the bookstores. In some instances they may
be resold to a used book wholesaler.
Overstocked
Books - these are books that we do not need for
the upcoming term because we have a sufficient number of used, or new,
books in stock. These books will be bought back at the national wholesale
value, usually 20 to 25% of the new selling price, and then re-sold
to a used book wholesaler, provided there is a wholesale market for
the textbooks.
Discontinued Books - these books
have not been selected by the faculty for the upcoming term. If these
textbooks have a national wholesale value, we will buy them back at
that value. We also accept donations for various groups. Please check
with your campus bookstore for more details.
What types of books are not "BuyBacks"?
Books having no market value will not be bought back. Examples of these
are old editions, damaged books, some study guides, spiral-bound books,
workbooks, lab manuals, heavily marked books, sun/liquid damaged books
and some textbook bundle/packages.
When is the best time to sell back your
books?
Broward College Bookstores will buy your books back on a year-round
basis. You should sell your books back to the bookstore as soon as you
have finished your courses or they may become valueless. Higher prices
are generally paid at the end of the term. You may sell your books back
at any Broward College Bookstore.
