We buy a narrow list of titles, and our offers are modest. US BookGram is a small operation. We price buyback conservatively so we can keep retail prices low, which means most sellers will do better through campus buyback or a large marketplace. We would rather say that up front than waste your postage.
What we buy
- Current or immediately previous edition only
- Nursing and health sciences, psychiatry, data science and statistics, business, and electrical code
- Intact binding, no water damage, no missing or loose pages
What we do not buy
- Workbooks, study guides, and solution manuals
- Loose-leaf and binder editions
- International and instructor editions
- Anything sold on an access code, whether the code is used or not
- Editions more than two revisions old
What we pay
A flat rate per accepted book, regardless of the title's list price.
| Condition | Offer per book |
|---|---|
| Like New | $10.00 |
| Very Good | $5.00 |
| Good | $3.00 |

We grade on arrival, and our grade is the one that applies.

Before you send anything
If our rates look low, they are. Campus buyback at the end of term, and the larger online marketplaces, will almost always pay more for a current-edition textbook than we will. Check there first. We would rather you got the better price than had a bad experience with us.
