Sell Your Books Back In Store

We buy books back all year round, but the best prices are paid out during finals when we have the most information from professors about what is going to be used in the upcoming semester. Stop by the store with your books and your student ID (required to sell back books) to sell them back for cash!

Sell Your Books Back Online

We've partnered with Texas Book Company Virtual Sellback

To sell back your books, locate the 13-digit ISBN number printed on the back of the book or in the front cover on the copyright page. The 13-digit
number will start with 978. Enter the ISBN into the search function on one of our partners’ websites to get pricing, and select the books you
want to sell back. You'll get a free pre-paid shipping label emailed to you. Ship your books and you'll be paid via check or PayPal from our
partners once your books are received.

Check to make sure that you're books are purchased and not rented. Rental books will need to be returned to
the store you originally rented them from.
