Book Buyback

Macon State College Bookstore has daily book buyback offered at the Macon and Warner Robins bookstores and all full time employees can provide this service for students. The purpose of this is to give the student top dollar for textbooks that they no longer need while allowing the Bookstore to purchase books needed for the upcoming semester. Buyback is also offered during final exam week at the end of each semester.

For books on the buyback list (books that are needed for the next semester), students can generally receive up to half of their purchase price. For books that are not on the buyback list, the visiting representative from a national wholesale company will determine the amount to be paid based on national demand.

Picture ID Required

Bring All CDs, DVDs, And Supplemental Materials Purchased With Your Textbooks.

NOTE: Buyback times are subject to change without notice.

If a book is not on the buyback list, the reasons could be one of the following:

• The Bookstore has not received a written request from the division for classroom use of the book for next semester.
• The book is an old edition, study guide, workbook, lab manual, or programmed text.
• In a few cases, the Bookstore is overstocked.
• The Bookstore has bought back the limit based on what the division feels will be their class enrollment.
• Fill-in workbooks that cannot be reused, books that are excessively written in, torn, or have missing pages, will not be bought back.
• The Bookstore cannot purchase instructors copies, complimentary copies, or international editions.

No receipt is required to sell your books back to the Bookstore. Please note that textbook buyback is only offered during certain periods.

As a courtesy, a wholesale company generally comes in at the beginning of the semester for an "opening buy". Typically, this is the first two days of class for a new semester. This is a convenience for students that missed the buyback during final exams and is set up at the front entrance of the Bookstore in the lobby. For this buyback, only wholesale amounts will be given for textbooks.

Please note that some textbooks do not have any buyback value. The value of your textbook will be determined by the wholesale representative based on national demand.
