How do I maximize my textbook value?

In working with online buy back stores, you can expect a 20% higher return than your local college bookstore.

The sales rank on Amazon is a key factor used to “determine textbook value”.  300K or less and your book will sell within 60 days, thus we can offer more money for it.

One million or larger, it may take three months, to a year or it may be replaced by a new edition, thus resulting in a lower resale cost.

Looking at the sales rank and lowest used offer on Amazon will give you an idea of the retail value of your books.

You can maximize your value by,

  • bringing several at once as we give bonus cash when selling 5 or more books
  • keeping original barcode is visible
  • not underling or highlighting
  • textbooks with sales rank less than 300,000 get more
  • 2012 publication date or newer

Also if you sell back four or five qualifying textbooks, I’m more likely to offer a buck or two for your marginal books, as a customer service thing. Textbooks are hard to lug around!
