3 Ways to Sell Your Textbooks through the Online Bookstore
1. Guaranteed Buyback:
What is it? Some books are sold with a guaranteed buyback price. Items with a guarantee are marked with a flag so students know which apply. Benefits: In a hurry? Guaranteed buyback offers are quick. You don’t have to deal with the uncertainty of whether someone will buy the book if you post it on the marketplace. Actions: Students that bought items with a guaranteed buyback offer will be emailed at the end of the term with instructions on how to send the textbook back.
2. Instant Bids:
What is it? If you go to the “Sell” page on the website and type in the ISBN of the text that you want to sell, you may see an “Instant Bid.” That means a buyer is already identified and has a set offer for that text. You can choose to accept or reject the offer. Benefits: Like guaranteed buyback, instant bids are quick and take away the uncertainty of posting it on the marketplace and waiting for someone to buy it. Actions: Visit ycp.textbookx.com, click “Sell” at the top of the page, and then type in the text’s ISBN you want to sell. The website automatically searches for instant bids. If a bid is available and you want to accept it, follow the instructions to send it to the vendor.
3. Post a Book at your Own Price on the Marketplace:
What is it? Anyone can post any book on the marketplace and name their own price for it. Once posted, it is listed on the marketplace and will appear when students search for that ISBN or have that text assigned to a course. Benefits: When you sell a book on the marketplace, you get to name the price you want to sell it for. Guaranteed buybacks and instant bids are non-negotiable and sometimes lower than what others are selling the book for. If you think you can get more for the book, and aren’t in a hurry for a book to sell, posting on the marketplace is a great idea. Actions: Visit ycp.textbookx.com, click “Sell” at the top of the page, and then type in the ISBN of the item you want to sell. Follow the instructions to list the conditions and price of the item. It will be visible on the marketplace for anyone to buy it.
