Q & A/ Textbook Buyback
Do you buy back textbooks?
  • We buy back textbooks that we can re-sell. We can not re-sell a textbook that is not in resaleable condition.
When do you buy back textbooks? When is the best time to sell back?
  • While a book has a retail buyback price, you should sell it back at the earliest opportunity. Only at Daily Buyback are there no books with a retail buyback price. While a book has no retail buyback price, you might get a higher price if you sell it back later. Keep in mind that a later buyback price could be zero.
How do you determine the buyback price of my book?
  • If a book has resale value, it has a buyback price: retail or wholesale.

    If a book has no resale value, it has no buyback price. If you leave the book with us for recycling, you receive a $1 coupon.
Do you set buyback quotas?
  • We set a quota, or budget, for every book that has a retail buyback price.
How am I paid for the books I sell back?
  • We pay you 100% of the total buyback price in cash. We pay you 110% of the total buyback price if you allow us to deposit the entire payment in your Campus Express Club account. If you do not have an account, the deposit opens your account.
