How Do I Get My Cash?

To sell your book(s) to Concordia University Bookstore please bring your book to our location during our buyback hours. Directions to our location, BuyBack Hours, and any special buyback policies are listed below.

Please keep in mind that prices quoted on this website are "real-time" and buyback prices may change at any time. Also, keep in mind that we are buying a limited quantity of each book, so the demand for your book may expire at any time. To avoid disappointment, please bring your book to us as soon as possible.

Concordia University Bookstore

BuyBack Hours:
Used Book Buybacks are held every weekday at both SGW and Loyola campus stores.  See our store hours page for the full schedule - including the extended beginning of term hours (when available).

Directions:
Ok - I'll sell you my book... What do I do now?
Just bring in your used textbooks to the Bookstore during our daily Buyback sessions. We'll then scan the book to look up the current price and if it's still being bought back at that time - you get your cash!

The buybacks are held at both the Loyola and SGW campus Bookstores. Click this link for Bookstore locations: View campus maps

BuyBack Policies:
We understand that your book is used, however please be sure that your book
is in reasonably good condition. e.g. no excessive highlighting, no missing
pages or covers, etc.

How are these Buyback prices determined?
Read the Buyback FAQ.

(If the Concordia Bookstore buys it, you get 50% of the new price. If another campus bookstore buys it through us, you get 30% and we ship the book to them. If a textbook wholesaler buys it through us, they set their own - usually lower - price, and we ship it to them)


If the offered price is too low for you...
You could wait until later in the year - the offered prices for some books may increase as we get closer to the start of the next term, or for the following term - *IF* that book is still being assigned for classes.

Close Where does this price come from?

As indicated in the FAQ, the "Home Price" is quoted only if the Concordia Bookstore is buying this book for our own stock. When available, this home price is the highest bid price listed in the Buyback system for a given book and represents 50% of our new retail price for the same book

Close Where does this price come from?

As indicated in the FAQ, the Away Price is quoted only if the Concordia Bookstore is not buying this book, but another campus store IS buying it. This away price represents 30% of the new retail price at that purchasing store.

We can buy this book from you on their behalf and ship it to the other store.
Close Where does this price come from?

As indicated in the FAQ, the wholesale price is quoted only if the Concordia Bookstore and the other participating campus stores are not buying this book (if any of us were, the quoted price would be higher), but a wholesaler IS buying it.

The wholesalers set their bids differently than the academic stores, as a result these prices are the lowest bids in the Buyback system.

We can buy this book from you on their behalf at this price and send it to the wholesaler.
Close Sorry - Book not being bought back.

Sorry, this book is not being bought back right now. As indicated in the FAQ, this means that the Concordia Bookstore and the other participating campus stores are not buying this book, and neither are the book wholesalers we work with.

Demand for books will change over the year, you could check back later to see if anyone is buying it then (especially before the start of a term).
