Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the benefit of consigning my books at Copywrite?

A: More money for you! As you are the one that sets the price, you have the opportunity to make some major money once your books sell, and with our new system, getting money back is faster than it ever was before. 

Q: Why is my book not listed on the booklist?

A: The textbooks used each semester vary based on the courses offered and the professors who teach them. If your book is not listed, that textbook is most likely not being used, therefore we cannot accept it for consignment. However, you may want to hold on to it for a semester to see if it will be used again. Course packs created by MRC will definitely not be allowed for resale due to copyright issues.

Q: Why is there is no new or used prices listed for my book?

A: As we get our list from the College Bookstore, there may not have been a price available when the list was made. As a solution, you may want to come to the Copywrite to see what other sellers have priced their book at to help with your pricing.

Q: My account states that a cheque has been issued, but I have not received an e-mail. Can I still come pick it up?

A: Yes. As soon as the status has changed on your system, a cheque is ready. We do send out e-mails right away, however technology isn’t always perfect. Some e-mails get sent back due to expired accounts, full mailboxes, internet problems, etc. You may also want to check your junk mail to be sure the e-mail wasn’t misplaced in there. But regardless, receiving the notification e-mail does not affect the availability of your cheque.

Q: I want to pick up my textbook before it expired but I am unavailable to make it down to the store. What can I do?

A: Please contact the . In most cases we can hold the book(s) for a short amount of time until you are able to pick it up.

Q: Can I change the price of my book or take it off the shelf?

A: Yes. The book is yours until the consignment contract ends. You can make any changes by coming to the Copywrite in person. In most cases this will be done right away, however it may take 24-48 hours if we are busy.

Q: I have questions about my account. Who can I contact?

A: Please send us an e-mail at or come to the Copywrite. Unfortunately we cannot discuss contracts over the phone.

Q: I do not have the study guide and/or CD’s my text came with when I bought it. Can I still consign?

A: Yes. In most cases we will accept the single textbook or even the single study guide as there is still a demand for these items.

Q: I have books that I no longer need or are unable to resell. What can I do with them?

A: You can bring your books to Copywrite and we will accept them as a donation.
