Law: Is it illegal for a campus bookstore to refuse a refund to a student?

Is it illegal for a bookstore to refuse a refund to a student because "they just don't want the book?" My bookstore refuses to give students ISBN numbers on textbooks so that students have no choice but to buy from the campus bookstore. I e-mailed my professors weeks ago to request syllabi for my courses to get the books online. None of my professors would e-mail me the information (because it "wasn't ready.") I spent $400 on 5 courses of textbooks for general education classes, one book being $120 for Christian Ethics. The receipt with the return policy said you could only return your books if you dropped the course and you had to have a drop slip. "YOU CANNOT RETURN THE BOOKS BECAUSE YOU DECIDED YOU 'DIDN'T WANT THEM" OR BECAUSE YOU DECIDED YOU'D SHARE WITH A FRIEND." If we don't sign a contract to that policy, do we have to abide by it? This is a RIP OFF!Law: Is it illegal for a campus bookstore to refuse a refund to a student?
college bookstores are notorious for ripping us off. But I usually use reserve copies at the library or order them from amazon.



Sorry you sound like a freshman. Sophomores and juniors catch on right away.



I suggest you save your refund checks for sme cool clothes or something you want or save it.



Use reserve copies because the bookstores will rip you off or order them from online.



Also change your major. you will be unemployed. I can just tell from that 120 dollar book on christian ethics.



Humanities people love to sell their own books at christian bookstores so that they can earn profit from sales. They are worthless.



You need to major in somehting that will get you a job.



Only science books should cost 120.
It's perfectly legal, especially since the return policy is right there for you to read. You should have considered the store's policy BEFORE buying your book. Every store is like this, caveat emptor.Law: Is it illegal for a campus bookstore to refuse a refund to a student?
you could always just sell them on amazon for a bit cheaper because it'll be a bargain for someone who'll need the book later.

No, it is not illegal. Many stores won't give refunds on merchandise at all. What they don't want is for people to buy the book, scan them, and return them. It would put them out of business. You always have a choice of buying a book elsewhere - there is no reason why you should have to be given an ISBN # to do so! If you know the name of the book and the author's name, you can always Google the book to find the publisher's website, and that site will have the ISBN # if, for some reason I don't understand, you would need it.
Yes of coarse you have to abide by it, they don't ask you if you like the policy or not because it doesn't matter what you think of their policy. Their policy is stated on the receipt (and probably somewhere else which you can read before you purchase the textbook) and if you don't like their policy you can buy your books from somewhere else. As far as the ISBN number goes, you can look the book up on line by title and find the ISBN number for that book. Its all politics, get used to it. And as far as legality is concerned about them "not wanting the book", of coarse it's legal. If someone went to a car dealership with a car they bought and said "could I have my money back for this car?" they're gonna say no, we dont want that car. It goes for any buisnes, wake up.
