 Just about everything you need to know about BuyBack

What is textbook buyback?
Textbook buyback is a bookstore-sponsored event that takes place at the end of the term in an effort to recycle titles that will be used in the future. Buyback is a triple-win situation where current students get cash for selling their books, bookstores get in-demand used titles to put on their shelves, and future students are offered money-saving used editions next term. Buying and selling used books benefits everyone involved by cutting costs and reducing the environmental strain of additional textbook printing.
 
 
What determines which books are being bought back and how much cash you'll receive for them?
  • Whether or not the book is being used next term
  • The condition of the book or workbook
  • Whether or not there is a new edition of the book
  • Course enrollment numbers for next term
  • Whether or not the book has all of its pieces (CD's, kits, guides etc., if applicable)
  • Whether or not the book is loose leaf
  • Whether or not the book came with any one time use item, such as access code
Some Pricing Examples
 
If the bookstore needs your book
for its own inventory:		 If the bookstore doesn't need your book,
But it is needed nationally:
We will pay up to 50% of what you               
paid for your textbook, provided it
is in salable condition.

Example: If you bought a new book for
$100, we will pay you up to $50.  If it was
used when you bought it, and it cost $75,
we will pay up to $37.50.		  For books not needed at Chabot, but has
national demand, up to 35% of the new book
price may be paid. These books are shipped
to other colleges or universities. Old editions
have no value.

Example: If you bought a new book for $100,
we will pay up to $35.

Why Should I sell my book to the bookstore?
Recently, private companies and websites have gotten involved in buying back textbooks. These third-part and online buyers claim to give students more money back for their books, but that's not the case, nor does it take into consideration that the payment is not instant, not cash, and that students may have to spend time and money shipping their books to the buyer. Know the deal up front and don't take chances with your money: in terms of buyback payment and service, these third parties can't beat your Chabot College Bookstore.

Chabot College Bookstore offers On-the-Spot Cash Payment, guaranteed funds, buyer takes the book(s) immediately, no packing and mailing hassles and no shipping charges.

How do I maximize my buyback dollars?
First and foremost, arrive at buyback early. The longer you wait to sell your books, the greater the chance that we will already have enough copies and not need yours.

To get the most for your books,
Make sure they have no:
If your books came as part of a set or
package, be sure to bring:
Water damage
Writing
Excessive damage
Missing pages
Missing parts		 CD's
Study Guides
Models
Workbooks
Lab Manuals
Or any other part
