Textbook Buy-Backs

Published

Another semester is coming to an end, so I decided to ask these questions. Does anyone keep their textbooks after the semester?

Or, do most of you allow the college to buy-back the textbooks from you? Under most circumstances I "cash in" my books after I have used them.

Specializes in ER, Medicine.

They don't buy back nursing books. I have at least 25 books (including flip cards, dictionaries, and study guides)...not one will sell back.

I plan on selling my theories & research books on ebay. My Dimensions of Nursing book back, and some others...I'll go thru them all in May to see what I don't want to keep.

I NEVER sell back my textbook. The company that buys them back to us gives me MAYBE 20% on a like-new book, that I just put down 100+ bucks for less than 4 months previously.

I will keep my nursing textbooks for the future to reference back to.

In my school, we also build upon the books in each semester... so all of the books are referenced back to during the newer semester.
