Finals Week is quickly approaching on May 10 and with it comes the time to sell back your textbooks. Bookstores offer buybacks year round, but the week of finals is the recommended time to sell back books because they might actually be able to pay more during that week.
"We can buy some books back at 50% of what was paid at time of purchase," Jeanette Lien, manager for the Official ACC Bookstores said.
However, there are some book conditions that aren't acceptable for buybacks.
"We don't buy back books that have water damage at all. The reason why is that they will grow mold and mildew, and it will spread to other books," said Lien.
They also do not buy back books with smoke damage. Additional items, like CD-roms, need to be included when the book is sold back if they were included when the book was initially sold
Bevo's ACC Bookstores, near Rio Grande and Northridge campuses, have the same basic policies for buybacks. Their website does tell how much students will receive for books with the book's ISBN number. However, the price is just an estimate and may be lower because of the book's condition. The Official ACC Bookstore website doesn't let give you the price they are offering after you enter the ISBN number but will tell if they will purchase your textbook.
The price will be given to you during the buyback process at the store.
