Selling Back Your Books/Refunds

At the end of each term, the Bookstore will buy back books that will be used the following semester for up to 50 percent of the original purchase price. You also may sell back books before the end of the semester at the book's wholesale price. A receipt is not necessary to sell back books; however, a Moraine Valley student ID must be presented. 

The Bookstore buys textbooks every day at wholesale price. The best time to sell your textbooks is at the end of each term, when you have a better chance of getting the best price. Call (708) 974-5716 for end-of-semester buyback dates.
