College Textbooks
Sell Us your Textbooks
Selling your textbooks should be easy, but we realize it's not always possible to find another student to buy your books. Craigslist Ads and Facebook posts go unanswered and attempts to sell back to the bookstore result in insulting offers or you find their buyback allotment is full.
Don't let those textbooks sit on the shelf loosing value, or get thrown in the trash because you don't want to haul them home after the semester is over. Sell them to us and get some of you hard earned money back.
Some of the benefits of selling to Boise Book Guy are:
- Local Company - We are local to the Treasure Valley. You're not sending your books off to some distant company hoping they'll accept them, dealing with shipping labels, boxes and returns.
- Local Pickup - We come to you! When you accept an offer from us, we'll arrange to meet you in a public place somewhere on campus or any other location of your choosing.
- Fast Money - Once we meet and we verify the condition of the books you are paid immediately. Again, no waiting for some distant company to get around to paying you. Once the books leave your hands your payment is given to you right then and there.
- All Books - We buy all types of books including those the bookstore won't take back. Giving you something rather than nothing for your books.
We buy books year round, so don't wait till the end of the semester. The longer you wait the lower in value books go. New editions come out, and books fall out of favor with professors.
To receive an offer just fill out our contact form below. We simply need your contact information and the ISBN numbers and format of the books you wish to sell. See our buying guidelines and make note of any issues with your books. You will receive an offer within 48 hours.
Buying Guidlines
We unfortunately cannot buy textbooks with the following issues:
- Custom Editions i.e. "Custom Edition for Boise State/CWI"
- International/Global Editions
- Advanced Reader Copies
- Extensive Water Damage (very light damage or stains may be exceptable)
- Damaged Spines i.e. book is falling apart.
Writing and/or highlighting is perfectly fine as long as it doesn't block out any of the text.
We are also unable to purchase most Teacher/Instructor editions. However, there are exceptions so let us know and we will inform you if we can accept them or not.
