• Pre-ordering ensures that you get the first pick of highly sought after used books!

Dynamic has the most used books, by far! Around 70 – 80% of our entire inventory is used.  These books, however, still go fast.  Since pre-orders are pulled before students start moving in you are more likely to get one!

• There’s no fighting the crowds!

The first few days of the semester are the busiest time of the year in the store.  Pre-ordering cuts out the waiting.  Just come in, tell us your name and we’ll have a box ready with all your books!  You’ll then be rung up at a register dedicated to those who reserved, ensuring you waste the least amount of time possible.

• Only get what you want!

With our new website you can easily pick and chose which books you want and which ones you don’t.  You’re not getting what we think you want, only the ones you pick.  Don’t want to go through all that and just want to give us your schedule?  No problem, just because something’s in your box doesn’t mean you’re obligated to buy it.  You only leave with the books you want.

When to Pick Up Your Pre-order

All books will be pulled and ready for pick up the weekend before classes start when students move in to the dorms.  Just let us know what day works best for you and we’ll make sure your books are ready.  Unfortunately we can’t hold your books after the first day of classes, after this time they will be  put back on the shelf, unless you make some type of arrangement before hand.

Payment Options

Although we do offer prepayment as an option it is not required to hold your books.  A valid check card or credit card is required for you to pre-order, but you don’t have to pay for anything until you actually pick up your books.  For payment, we accept:

• Cash
• All major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover)
• Personal Check with a valid ID
• Dynamic Gift Certificates
• Although we can’t accept book vouchers directly we can make special arrangements, please see our payment options page for more details.

If you have any other questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Are you done with your textbooks for the rest of this semester? Or do you still have books from previous semesters sitting around collecting dust? Attend another college or university and your school bookstore wasn’t buying your textbooks? Bring them to Lieberman’s Dynamic Bookstore – anytime of the year! We buy books all year round, whether they’re from this past semester or several semesters ago, used at West Chester University or another school, or just books you’ve accumulated and don’t need any more.

If you need some extra cash and have books to sell, stop by and see us. We pay top dollar for your used books!

Everything you need to know and understand about buyback can also be found here.

Simply put, we carry so many more books than our competition.  That is why more students choose Lieberman’s. We have HUNDREDS of titles stocked USED that our competition only has NEW.  Over 75% of our store inventory is USED, which provides a DRAMATIC savings to you.

We literally have 2-3 times more USED books vs our competition.  Nobody beats us when it comes to stocking more used books for our customers.  We love you guys and we know you don’t want to spend crazy money on books if you don’t have to.

Student demand for these textbooks is high once the semester starts.  If you’re having a problem finding used books, ask a store manager if we have more used coming in.  There are many titles that we will continue to order additional used copies of, right through the first half of the 1^st week of class..  We know you prefer used, so just be diligent and check!   There are a ton of used books coming so don’t hesitate to ask!

How are buyback prices calculated?

Buyback prices can vary based on several factors:

• If a book is being used the following semester, we will pay a higher price, sometimes up to 50% of the used price!
• Supply and Demand – each bookstore has a quota for used books.  Once they buy back that quantity, the price often defaults to a wholesale price determined by wholesale book companies.
• Edition changes – If a new edition of the book you are selling back is due to come out, wholesale values drop.
• Condition of book – Unfortunately we cannot buy back wet or damaged textbooks, and in some cases, study guides that are heavily marked or have pages missing.

Should I sell my West Chester textbooks back now or wait for a later time?

Generally, it is best to sell back your textbooks as soon as possible.  If you intend to re-read the text, use it for a future course, or use it for reference, then you should hold on to the book.  However, when you keep the book, you take the chance of having the book’s value decrease.  The depreciation can be due to several factors, such as the book having a large stock available, being an old edition, or having a new edition pending.

My friend just sold their book back for a higher price than mine, what’s the deal?

Most college bookstores only need a certain number of textbooks per semester.  Once we hit our quota for textbooks needed, the price of the text usually defaults to a wholesale price.  The key to getting a higher price is to sell your books as soon as you know that you no longer need it.  Generally, this means early on during finals week.

Why are custom textbooks often not bought back?

Custom textbooks are made specifically for the university–often particular to a professor and their course section.  These specially-made books can change between semesters.  Moreover, there are no wholesale prices for the nationwide vendors, since they are not able to sell it to other schools.  Occasionally, a custom textbook does get reused here at WCU, in which case, we would offer to buy it back.

Why can’t we sell back International Editions, Advance Copies, or Teacher’s Editions of textbooks?

Most of those International Editions, Advance Copies, or Teacher’s Editions do not have wholesale value, and  cannot be sold or re-sold in the U.S.   Many professors frown upon bookstores for selling these books and there is significant legal pressure from publishers, as well.

Why do I need the CD for my textbook to sell it back?

Without the CD, the textbook loses its value and may become unsellable to future students, who may actually need the CD for use in their class.

We believe that Dynamic has the best overall deal for you when it comes to selling back your WCU Textbooks, but we encourage you to find out for yourself by shopping around and comparing prices.
