SUMMER SEMESTER  BOOK BUY BACK

JULY 30 - AUGUST 6, 2007

The MTC Bookstores will buy back textbooks from students at any time during normal operating hours using the standing National Wholesaler's Guide Prices. At the end of each semester, from the last day of class through the exam period, the bookstores will conduct a book buyback at which time books needed by Midlands Technical College during the up-coming term will be purchased for 50% of the current shelf or list price providing the book is in good condition.  You must have pictured identification when selling books to MTC Bookstores.

The bookstores set a buy back allocation on each textbook that is needed for the upcoming semester. Once an allocation has been fulfilled, the textbook will then be purchased at the prevailing national wholesale value. Books not needed for the following term will also be bought from the students at the current national wholesale value. MTC Bookstores is not obligated to purchase workbooks, paperback books that have been written in, study guides, books with defective or broken interactive floppy disks or CDs, old edition books and/or overstock books. When selling your textbooks to MTC Bookstores, it is highly recommended that all components of a textbook (i.e., floppy disks, interactive CD Rom, study guides, solutions manuals and etc.) be returned in order to receive the expected buy back price of 50% of the shelf or list value. Textbooks that are missing the required components will be purchased at a lower price by the bookstores.

Developmental Studies course textbooks, workbooks and laboratory manuals will not be purchased at book buyback at the 50% of shelf or list price. These textbooks cannot be sold to students in a used condition for an upcoming term unless approved by the appropriate department chair. These textbooks can only be purchased for wholesalers provided they hold any value and they are in good condition for resale.
