i just got ripped off by my college bookstore. i spent $478 to buy them, and i got $45 back. and that was only the ones they were going to use next semester. for the ones i could sell, i only got back 22% of what i paid for them used. and now im stuck with 4 books that they didn't want, one of which cost me over $100. it an absolute fucking scam.

Yea, I bought a couple book off of www.half.com it's pretty legit. And you can get a much better price than from the school bookstore, which always jips the shit out of you. Try half, but it's always better right before first semester than second semester.

if you buy from amazon.com you get amazing deals, like better deals then the bookstores used books for brand new ones.  Then you can sell them to the bookstore and get more money

in the bookstore, one of my books was like 200, i got it for 100 on amazon, and just sold it back for 80
