Buyback & Rental Check-in

Buyback

We only buy back books from FSU students with a current FSU ID card. Books must be in resalable condition. Missing pages, water damage, excessive highlighting, written answers, broken bindings, etc., are unacceptable buyback conditions.

If an instructor has requested your textbook for the next term, its value increases. Books falling into this category may be worth between 30% to 50% of the original purchase price. Generally speaking, textbooks will be purchased until we reach the limit of our shelf stock requirements, so the sooner you get your books to us, the greater the chance they will be eligible for buyback.

Rental Return

Rental books can be returned in person to Bill’s Bookstore any time before the due date.

You can also mail your books to the FSU Bookstore as long as they are postmarked before the due date. We suggest using a shipping service with tracking options. Follow these guidelines when shipping your rental books to the FSU Bookstore.
