Now is the Best Time to Sell Your Used Textbooks

News & Updates By August 22, 2013 Last Updated on September 23, 2021 by BookScouter No Comments

A recent article on extrabux.com suggests that timing can drastically affect how much cash you get back when you sell your textbooks. In fact, due to the Laws of Supply and Demand, the week of August 20th is the best time of the year to sell your used textbooks. Research shows that sale prices during this week can increase by as much as 20%. In an effort to maintain enough supply to meet the Fall-Semester demand, book-buyback companies featured on BookScouter are currently in fierce competition for students’ textbooks. As a result, prices offered to you are at an annual high.

Now is the time to take advantage of the textbook buyback season. By using BookScouter, you can maximize the immediate sales for your used textbooks. Go out and get some cash.
