Used Books
What is Book Buyback?

When you sell back your used textbooks, you can earn up to 50% back.  Bring in all books, no matter where they were purchased! Student ID required.

The Bookstore buys back textbooks that are being used for upcoming term at Dalhousie. The bookstore typically offers up to 50% of the retail price of the new book.   We do work with MBS, a wholesale partner who buys books for all over North America, and they base their prices on the demand for the book. If demand is high, prices will be higher.  MBS typically offers up to 30% of the retail price of the new book.
