Textbook Recycling Company is a small, independently owned company located in Troy, Idaho where the rolling fields known as the "Palouse" meet the beautiful, timbered Idaho backcountry. In business since 1997, we specialize in buying and selling new and used college textbooks as well as typical trade books.

Having spent many years in academia ourselves, we understand many of the issues affecting higher education. One of the major issues affecting college students today is the exorbitant cost of textbooks and materials used in college courses. Our goal is to provide our customers with an easy and convenient way to sell and purchase college textbooks and trade books of any interest for better prices than what can be found elsewhere.

Rating: 1 starsRating: 1 starsRating: 1 starsRating: 1 starsRating: 1 stars Jul 2010 Sent two brand new, (still in the plastic wrap) books quoted $122.56 for both books. I also purchased delivery confirmation so that I would know when they were delivered. I mailed these books on Saturday, they were delivered on Thursday. I chose PayPal as my payment, so they should have processed the payment in 1 business day. After 1 week of no payment, I emailed the customer service department. I provided the tracking # so they could see that the books were in face delivered. I recieved an e-mail back saying that the books were not delivered. WHAT A SCAM! I have filed a claim with the Idaho BBB.

Rating: 3 starsRating: 3 starsRating: 3 starsRating: 3 starsRating: 3 stars Jul 2010 A decent buyback site. On the positive side, they have a good web interface and are reasonably quick with payment. Just beware that they're one of those sites that will *never* pay the price they quote for a book in "new" condition. I sent them eight brand new copies of a particular book, extremely carefully packed, and somehow they managed to grade all eight copies as "used".

Bottom line: an okay site, but make sure you only consider their "used" price when deciding where to sell your books.
