The only used books we accept are if drop a course.

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.

We accept cash, credit cards, and personal checks along with proper ID. Of course, we have financial aid available through Student Services for those who qualify.
