TEXTBOOK BUYBACK POLICY
The BGSU Bookstore pays you 50% of the original NEW selling price when purchased for resale in the store, or the current national wholesale market price when not bought to sell in our store, but sold on the wholesale market. We work to give you the best buy back dollar for your books.  Ask your instructor if they are going to use the book again next term.  If they tell us yes, your book may be worth more at buyback.

 We want your used textbooks! We buy your used books every day at the customer service area at the main entrance of the bookstore. Bring us your current editions in good re-sellable condition with covers, pages, & binding intact and without excessive highlighting or notes written in them.  A valid BGSU ID is required for all buyback transactions.

In addition to the daily buy back, we hold an end of term buy back in the Multi-Purpose room of the Bowen - Thompson Student Union, BG campus, and at the front of Firelands Bookstore.


There are 6 criteria affecting the price offered for your book:
1. Condition
2. The Bookstore's need for additional copies
3. National demand
4. Whether or not a new edition has been published
5. Custom package missing pieces
6. Whether or not an instructor will be using the book again
