With less than two weeks left of school before final exams, many Texas State students are selling back their textbooks before it's too late. Christina Tafoya has more in this Bobcat Update.
College textbooks are known to be highly expensive for students. Prices can range anywhere from 15 to more than 300 dollars for a book. It is not assured that students will be able to sell them back at the end of the
semester. But often they don't have a choice -- they have to buy -- because some professors require books to be purchased to retrieve access codes needed to take exams.

The Texas State faculty decides whch textbooks will be required for the upcoming semesters. The University Bookstore is one of many bookstores where students can sell-back books to get reimbursed up to 50-percent of the retail price. Bobcats can get more money for their books depending on the time of year they decide to sell-back.

The University Bookstore is very competitive with online sites and is known to offer better deals on buy-backs. The store rarely gets the quantities of buy-backs it would like.
