Buyback
The UVM Bookstore buys back textbooks mostly every day (call first to
verify) all year round but, the best time to
sell your books is during buyback. This is when the bookstore has orders
from the professors regarding which books are being used here, at UVM, for
the following semester.
If
they are being used here, the bookstore will pay top value for your books.
Many books now include a CD or other
inserts. It is a good idea to bring the inserts with the books to
buyback because the value may be significantly lower without these
inserts. If the bookstore doesn't have an order from the
professors, then a used book wholesaler buys the books to be used at other
colleges and universities throughout the country. These are valued at up to
1/3 of the new textbook price and are based on national supply and demand.
Recycling your textbooks is good for the environment and lowers the price
of textbooks for everyone. Custom published books are not eligible for
buyback. You do not need your sales receipt to sell your books.
