Buybacks
Turn Used Textbooks Into Cash
Ingram works for independent booksellers and now we’re giving you another way to bring new customers into your
store while making extra money at the same time.
Students hate selling their books back only to find they are getting $5 for a textbook that cost them $142 when they
purchased it. Now, you can buy those used textbooks directly from students and offer them cash-in-hand or store credit,
and increase foot traffic and potential sales in your store.
Here’s How:
• Ingram makes it easy. Once you’re set up to process buybacks on ipage®, buying textbooks back from students
or liquidating other used textbook inventory is a breeze.
• Competitive Prices. Students are looking for the best buyback prices around. Ingram offers competitive prices and
better value than other companies and you earn a generous 20% on top of the buyback price for every textbook you
buy. That means you create additional revenue for your store and your student customers are happy.
• Turn students into customers. Because you can offer cash for their books on the spot, students will want to come
to you instead of selling them back online. And, starting this summer, you’ll be able to buy both new and used
textbooks from Ingram on ipage. So students can order their books from you too.
• Free shipping. We pay for shipping, meaning more money to your bottom line. Just put the books you buy in a box
and send them to us.
• Year-round buying. Buy books from students year-round, not just at the end of the semester. Even if you aren’t located
near a college or university, distance learners are everywhere. Let them know they can sell their books to you.
How Does Ingram Buyback Work?
Through a new ipage interface available now, your store can buy used textbooks from students with a guaranteed
margin from Ingram. Your students get cash, or store credit, you make 20% on top of the buyback price and Ingram
gets a book to resell.
How Do I Get Set Up?
On the homepage of ipage, click on the ad banner that says “Turn Used Textbooks Into Cash.” Then, click on the link to sign up to
sell used textbooks. Just complete the form and you’ll be set up within 72 hours. Once your account is activated for buybacks,
just look for the buyback banner below on your ipage homepage. Click on it and start buying textbooks.
