Textbook Buyback

What is Buyback?

Buyback is the period of time when students can sell their unwanted textbooks back to either the Bookstore or to the Bookstore’s used book wholesale partner.
If the book is being used for the upcoming semester, the Bookstore will try to acquire the book first from Davidson students at 50% of the current new book price, even if the student purchased the book used. In this way, buyback benefits both the student and the Bookstore. The Bookstore calculates book needs based on textbook information received from faculty prior to buyback and stock on hand. If the book is not being used on campus the next semester, the book may have value on the wholesale market to be sold to stores at other schools. The edition and condition determine the “wholesale” cash value for the book.
(These values are predetermined and are based on nation-wide textbook supply and demand.)

* Please remember that the bookstore has determined a set need. It’s best to sell your books back early.
