Students
Can’t Count on Book Resale
by Rhonda Evans
For many students, selling books back to
Student Stores can be the way to finally
put an end to a difficult semester. Unfortunately,
some students didn't receive any cash for
their books last semester. Student Stores
officials say selling books back can sometimes
be risky business.
“It's really almost a game of chance,” says
John Jones, director of Student Stores. “It
depends on the local demand for the book,
in terms of who's using it and what course
is using it and the national demand.”
Low demand and the release of new editions
can leave students out of luck when trying
to get back some of the big money they paid
out in the first place. If you find that
your book has no resale value, Student Stores
will give you 25 cents for your trouble.
