The Augusta Tech Campus Store 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.)

Helpful Suggestions
It is strongly recommended that new students attend all classes on the first day of the term to obtain a complete list of textbooks and supplies needed.
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 do 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.
Buyback Time Frames
Currently, we are not conducting on campus used book buybacks.
- 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.
- Current editions needed by the bookstore for the next semester will be bought back at approximately 50% of the new list price. The Bookstore sets this price.
- Any other current editions not needed by the bookstore are bought back at a wholesale price.
If your books do not have a retail buyback value, it is possible that it still has a wholesale value. 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.
- Old editions, damaged or over-used books, international editions, professor’s copies and rebound books will have no resale value.
- If an old edition will be used in the upcoming semester by our instructors, you should advertise them for sale to other students. Ask the bookstore staff if your old edition textbooks will be used in upcoming semesters.
