Our Textbook Buyback program is temporarily suspended.  We will announce when buybacks restart.

Regardless of the time of year there are always options to sell your used textbooks. Help us make more used textbooks available to help fellow students manage their course materials budget, and earn cash for yourself at the same time!  Proof of ownership and UM Student ID or Government-issued photo ID required.  Limit one book per course per person.

Essentially there are two options when selling your textbook.

1. Sell to the U of M BookStore
   * 50% cash back on reconfirmed texts. Quantities limited based on class size
2. Sell to a wholesaler
   * 10-30% cash back when purchased for other schools throughout North America
