| About Us |
The Augusta Tech Bookstore is located in the Student Services (1300 Building) on the Augusta campus of Augusta Technical College. We are a member of NACS (National Association of College Stores) and GACS (Georgia Association of College Stores.) This has allowed us to become a valuable resource for our students, faculty and staff members. We are also open to the public. New and used books are available for sale along with a great variety of other merchandise such as school supplies, apparel and other gift items. Helpful Suggestions RETURNING STUDENTS: Unless you are using a book voucher, purchase your books before the first week of the quarter to prevent standing in line to purchase books. Always bring your class schedule or syllabus with you when you come to the Bookstore. This will greatly help us to sell you the correct books. Used Books Yes, we sell used books. They are subject to availability and are first come, first served. Used books are 25% less than the price of a new book. The best opportunities to purchase used books are during the buyback or during the first week of each new term. Remember, we depend on our students to sell their books back here in order to have used books to sell to other students.

Used Book Buyback
The Augusta Campus buyback is always the last 3 days and first 2-3 days of each new term. *
There are also periodic buybacks scheduled for the Thomson and Waynesboro campuses. Keep an eye on our website for dates and times of all upcoming buyback.
* New term buyback time frames can vary.
Buyback FAQ
One or several reasons may affect the value you are offered for your books. These include:
The instructor has authorized the reuse of the book.
The publisher has a new edition so the prior edition has no value.
The instructor has discontinued the book or not indicated it will be used next term.
The book is in too poor condition to be resold.
The bookstore is overstocked.
The book has limited nationwide demand.
How do we determine buyback value?
Current editions needed by the bookstore for the next quarter will be worth 50% of the list price.
* Bookstore sets this price
Any other current editions not needed by the bookstore are bought back at a wholesale price.
Wholesale buyback involves selling your book to a used book company, which will then sell it to another college that uses it. In this case, the buyback price is determined by the national demand for the book. This means that the money you get back for a book can vary greatly, but is always less than if the bookstore bought the book to resell it.
Also, old editions*, damaged or over-used books, international editions, professor’s copies and rebound books will have no resale value.
* Old editions have no value; however, if an old edition will be used one last quarter by our instructors, you should advertise them for sale to other students.
