How are Sell A Book buyback prices determined?
The prices are determined by book lists submitted by instructors for the next semester. If we know which books will be needed and we are not already overstocked, then The University of Arizona Bookstores will pay up to 50% of the current new book retail price, even if the condition of the book was USED to begin with. If the instructor has not submitted an order at the time you try to Sell A Book, then you will receive that book’s current market value (US wholesale price). That value is determined by used book national companies and is based upon the national demand for the book and whether or not it is a current edition.
