No, textbooks cannot be returned at the Wildcat Den.
Students with unwanted textbooks can list their textbook on the textbookxx marketplace for other students to purchase.
Unwanted textbooks can also be donated to the library.
Yes! Here are some suggestions:
- When available, rent rather than buy your textbook; buy used textbooks; check for availability of digital books; lastly buy new.
- If you have a choice between buying a textbook package with a study guide or other items or just the textbook alone, make sure you need the extra items before buying the package. Publishing companies create packages as a great value for students, but if you don't need all the items, you can save more by buying only the textbook if it's available by itself.
- Be cautious about buying books on the web. Some online sellers promise huge discounts that don't actually exist. Be sure to compare prices for each book, and don't forget to add in shipping fees and possible sales tax. Online sellers may not be able to ship your books for weeks or may send the wrong edition. If you make a purchasing error, you may not be able to return the book for a refund.
- You can post textbooks for sale on the Marketplace and name your own selling price. You'll receive payment either as a direct deposit to your bank account or as store credit. If you select to be paid with credit, you get an extra 5% back!
- Keep a close eye on your textbooks. Theft of textbooks is on the rise nationwide. Thieves target books to resell. Don't leave your books unattended, even in places like the library. If your books are stolen, report the theft immediately. Mark your books in an inconspicuous place so you can identify them as yours.
