I read in Forbe's magazine(don't ask why i like reading Forbe's) that if we actually invested all the money we spent just going to college we would be loaded by the time we would have graduated.
Case in point. Selling back books.
I was reading collegehumor(don't ask why i was reading college humor) in the bookstore and they had a funny selection about the whole book selling back process
You spend $125.00 on a book you will never read.
You sell it back for a whopping $10.00
Then bookstore slaps a used book tag on it, and then sells it next year for $60.00
!!!!
I have sold back a majority of my books that cost me(meaning my mom) at least $400.00.
Guess what i got back....
$15.00!!!!!!!
It was later spent on food.
Time to study for History.

after my first semester in college, when i sold back a $60 for $2, i decided it was worth more to me to have the damn books than to sell them back for such an insulting pittance. it's nice for english majors, too, because we end up with a lot of fiction. i can see why a chem textbook might not be a treasured addition to your Home Library.
good luck!
Wow.
I guess I shouldn't really complain.
I bought a textbook for $98, and they want to buy it back for $60.
On top of that, my work will reimburse me for the original price of the book...
If I just keep buying books and selling them back, I can make a serious profit.
