agency.
If books are worn, written in or soiled at all, of course, we only give
partial credit. No credit can be
given if
the book is damaged excessively.
5. Do you have a book buyback
program?
We have a book buyback at the end of each semester. MBS which is an
independent book company that comes
to the Tarboro campus for one day, and Rocky Mount campus for one day. The
process is fairly easy. The ISBN
number on the back of the text is scanned and a price is automatically quoted
for that particular text.
Book buyback dates can be obtained as soon as MBS and ECC bookstore staff
confirm a suitable date.
Buyback dates are usually scheduled within one month of then end of a semester.
Flyers and brochures are
placed throughout the campus.
