What We Buy
- We buy all different types of textbooks and novels!
- Books need to have a visible ISBN in order for us to purchase them
- ISBNs can be found either on the back of the book near the barcode or on the copyright page of the book. This ISBN should be either 10 or 13 digits, and frequently start with “978”
- Without the ISBN, we are not able to determine an accurate price for the book and will not be able to purchase the book.
- All books that we purchase must meet our condition requirements:
- Must be resalable, with minor to no signs of use.
- Highlighting/writing is permitted, as long as it is not excessive and the book is still able to be used by someone else.
- All pages and covers must be intact.
- Must come with any CDs, access codes, manuals, or other supplementary materials that it came with.
- May be hardcover, paperback, spiral-bound, or loose-leaf books
What We Don’t Buy
- Damaged books (i.e. stains, broken/detached spine, ripped/missing pages, mold, etc.)
