Questions? Please check out our Buyback FAQs

The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a specific 10 digit number that identifies an exact title and edition of a particular book.

The ISBN is located above the bar code on the back cover or on the inside copyright page. Your class syllabus should have the ISBN that you need.

An ISBN search is the quickest most accurate way to find the textbooks you need and to sell the textbooks you have.

What is the difference between a new and used textbook?

A new book must be clean with no bent corners or writing. It must contain all CD's and any required supplements. It should have no publisher markings saying "exam copy" or "complimentary copy" inside or outside of the book. Packing your books well in a sturdy box using ample packing material will insure they arrive at our facility in new condition without any transit mishaps.

If you use the student ISBN for Instructor Editions or complimentary copy textbooks, a lesser price may be given based on the book's value.

A used book must have all of its pages, a front and back cover and still be firmly bound to the spine. A lesser price may be given if the book is missing its CD, or other required supplement, has excessive highlighting, stains or odor, or has more damage then a normal used book. We do not return books under any circumstances.

How do I ship my books and who pays for the shipping cost?

Once you have decided to sell your books to us, you will be able to print a free shipping label and a packing slip. Please package your books well and take them to your local post office. If you want to track or insure your shipment you will have to pay for these services yourself.

Complimentary Review Copy Textbooks

These books can be sold even though they may say "Not for sale" or "Free Copy Not for Sale" on them. To sell these types of textbooks, use the complimentary copy or free copy ISBN.

If these isbn's will not provide a quote on the website, use the student isbn of that book, located on the back of the title page or copyright page in its place. Instructor Editions without annotations, free copy, complimentary copy and review copy textbooks will be priced from 10%-30% off the used price quoted when using the student isbn on the website. We will always try and pay the highest value for these Instructor Editions. There are many factors such as market value, publication date, type of IE textbook and to what degree of publisher markings are printed on the inside and outside of the book that effect their buyback price.

Annotated Instructor Editions: Instructor Editions with annotations are considered a used book. If you send these in to us using the student isbn a lesser price will be given based on its market value. The 10%-30% off our used price quote on the website does not apply with AIE textbooks. Please call for quotes on these or email us at buyback AT etextshop.com.
