Buyback Titles with Low Value
Due to Web Access Code Issue

Textbooks originally sold with WEB ACCESS CODES pose a particular problem at buyback since the codes can only be used by the original purchaser. When feasible we try to purchase the actual textbook and repackage it with a new code, but publishers often make that prohibitively expensive.

The buyback price paid for these books is dictated by the cost of replacing the access code and unfortunately is usually much less than the typical 55% we pay for reused titles. In order to give you as much as possible, we will sometimes pay the wholesalers' price and then the books are sent to campuses that don't require using access codes for their courses.

More detailed information may be posted as buyback progresses.

BUYBACK will begin April 26 and run through May 6.
