Buyback Information

Textbook Buyback

You can sell back books anytime during normal business hours. At the end-of-semester buyback (usually the last two weeks of the semester) we buy back for our own stock and we set the prices. During other times, we buy on behalf of a used textbook wholesale company and they set the prices we can pay.  If possible, it is usually better to wait until the end of the semester to sell your books. Please check the calendar for end-of-semester buyback dates and times.

When selling your books:

  • ID is required.
  • Books must be in reusable condition. We reserve the right to refuse to purchase a used book based on its condition.
  • UBS will pay up to 50% of purchase price.
  • Buyback operates on a firstcome, first serve basis. The quantity being bought back is limited and may be reached at any time.
  • The price paid during buyback is subject to change without notice.

Buyback Locations:

  • Daily buyback is held at the Guest Services counter.
  • End of Semester buyback is held at the Main Entrance of the Book Store off the MU Food Court.
  • We also have off-site locations at Residence Hall complexes during End of Semester Buyback. Locations and times will be listed on the calendar.

You can now sell your books from the comfort of your own home and the shipping is FREE! Our store has partnered with MBS Textbook Exchange, the nation's largest textbook wholesaler, to offer you the best prices for your used books.
