Book Buyback

Books are bought back only during the period known as Buyback. The Buyback is held during finals each semester. We arrange for a wholesale book company to be on campus each semester during finals to purchase undamaged books from students. Purchase price is determined by the wholesale company and not Waycross College. Unfortunately, old editions, out of print books, and damaged books are of no value to bookstores or used book companies and may not be purchased.
