SUMMER 2010 BUYBACK POLICY

Your Money.
Buyback is your opportunity to sell your books back to your campus store and recoup some of your textbook expenses!  Many students find they do not want to keep their books after the course is completed.  You may receive up to 50% of the new price of the book at buy back!  What other item can you buy new or used, use for a couple of months and then sell it back to the same store when you're done with it?  What a deal!  Also, if we are unable to buy your textbook back for our stock, we will automatically check to see if it has any wholesale value with MBS, the national book wholesale company who conducts our buyback, and they may be able to offer you the current wholesale value, which is slightly lower, for your books.  Specific titles and buyback prices may be found here at our online store in early May and November of each year.

Your TIme.
Your college bookstore will offer "instant cash" buys at the Clinton, LOZ, and Sedalia campus at the end end of 16 week semesters.  Additional buybacks may be offered during March and October.  If these times aren't convenient, you may choose to visit the online buyback where current wholesale pricing and free shipping apply.  See link on the left for details.

Your books.
Every effort is made to have an equitable buy-back for all students. We want to provide all of our students with quality used books and maintain adequate stock of the books your instructors select.  Unfortunately, not all books may be sold back.
Several factors determine which textbooks have buyback 
-Instructors decision to change textbooks for next semester
-Overstock
-Availability of title and edition status
-Condition of the textbook -minimize writing or highlighting in the textbook and protect the cover and spine as much as possible.  
-Type of textbook - Workbooks, study guides, dictionaries, textbooks that you write in, loose-leaf textbooks, textbooks with access codes, textbooks with CD's or other electronic media, student value packages.  
Please note:  Many basic skills course textbooks are not bought back due to their consumable nature.
