How does the on-campus buyback work? VarsityBooks will set up at a designated location on campus where students/parent can bring their used textbooks. VarsityBooks will can each student's textbooks, evaluate the condition of the books, and determine the total payout for the books being sold.
How are students paid for their books? Students selling their textbooks provide their contact information and receive a receipt at the Buyback event. VarsityBooks will process and mail a check within 30 days of the event.
Do books have to be in good condition to be bought back? Yes. Only textbooks that are in good, resalable condition will be bought back. VarsityBooks will not buy textbooks that have excessive highlighting or markings, water damage, torn or missing pages, or broken bindings.
What books will VarsityBooks be buying back? VarsityBooks guarantee to buy textbooks that your school plans on using in the upcoming school year. If the inventory is needed, VarsityBooks may purchase textbooks that will be used by other schools in our programs. We will not buy some softcover textbooks, workbooks, lab manuals or other books students typically write in for classes.
How much can students expect to receive for their books? Students can expect to receive between 25-40% of the new textbook price for titles that are going to be used again on campus. Prices are primarily upon the condition, adoption status, and total demand for the book.
How did the change in book availability come about? In response to parent and student concerns, Judge Memorial investigated options for a more efficient textbook management system. Purchasing textbooks on both a semester and yearly schedule was proving increasingly costly, inventory and storage space wer limited, and staff labor costs and times were rising. In addition, long lines at the beginning of the year drew significant complaints. Varsity Books provides parents and students a convenient, user-friendly shopping experience at a customized online bookstore.
