    The opening buyback is wholesale only.               

At the end of each quarter during exam week the bookstore invites a used book wholesaler to conduct a textbook buyback. There are two levels of pricing for books; 50% of the new retail price will be paid for books that the bookstore needs for the upcoming quarter. Need is based on the information the bookstore receives from the instructors and the level of bookstore stock. Books that the bookstore does not need are bought back based on the current national demand.

These books are shipped to the wholesalers warehouse for resale. Wholesale prices are approximately 10-30% of the new retail price. Out of print books and old editions are not in national demand and therefore may have no buyback value.
