Textbook Buyback

You can bring your textbooks back at the start of the term and sell them through our buyback program. As long as they’re in good condition and have resale value, we’ll take them. Buybacks are done in-store only, and payments are made by debit or credit card — no cash.

Buyback is held four times annually: mid-August until 3rd week of September, November 3–28, mid-December, and mid to late April. Dates will be posted on our website and social media pages. Follow our Facebook or Instagram to stay up-to-date on all upcoming OC store events.

Our textbook buyback program is available at the Kelowna Campus Store only.

Because books are resold to other students, OC campus stores do not accept books with:

• Stains or water damage
• Missing, torn, or loose pages and covers
• Excessive writing or marking
• A broken spine/damaged binding

A textbook is still considered in "good condition" if it shows signs of general wear, such as:

• Some writing or notes
• Highlighting
• Rounded or dog-eared corners
• Faded cover art

• Books have not been requested for upcoming semesters
• The edition has changed, or the book is no longer in print
• The textbook had an access code attached (we cannot buy back just the book)
• We do not buy back loose-leaf copies, novels, or custom course packages
