Let us help you with used textbook buyback and sales!
Are you a college store that sells new and used textbooks (Leased, Off-campus, Independent, or Community College
Store)? If you have online textbook sales or rentals, are you interested in Ingram’s supply for direct to consumer orders? Are
you a trade bookstore that already buys and sells used textbooks, or would like to start? If so, Ingram can help with all of this.
Used textbook sourcing from Ingram
Through a new ipage interface available now, your store can buy used textbooks from students with a guaranteed
margin from Ingram. Your students get cash, or store credit, you make 20% on top of the buyback price and Ingram
gets a book to resell.
How Do I Get Set Up?
Many of the tools you use to order new books and to sell back used books are the same ones you use to buy used textbooks.
Used textbooks are now available for search and order (including Bin and Hold) using ipage®, the most comprehensive search,
discover and order management tool for booksellers. Search using the EAN, title, author, etc. and look for the Used Textbook
icon to view our used inventory.
Also Available Used
We look forward to working with you. Contact us to get started today.
