College Books

Yeah that is what I was doing before my first year of college but then I stopped and plus I owe ebay some money right now so i'm going to have to pay that first. But it's a great idea to sell it online. Because I can gain more instead of selling it back to the bookstore. Although there was one book that I got some pretty good cash back from it.

Yeah but then some of the teachers don't use the same edition as the year before and stuff. I'll probably be better of selling some of them online on Ebay like you said. Happy mylotting!

Yeah I think that I'm going to check if Barnes and Nobles online can buy it from me or I'll probably go to one in person. Yeah and I've had them say that exact same thing and I would just feel so sad because I was hoping to get rid of some of them so I buy the new ones that I needed. But I am always having such a hard time with financial aid or the books in my university but I know that I have to finish because i'm the one that will be providing for my mother and my younger siblings. Thanks and I hope that what you said about my future is true.

Yeah. Not much has changed actually. Last semester I was able to sell two books and got enough to buy one. But I didn't buy any textbook because the next semester was the summer semester and I wasn't registered for the summer semester. But as soon as this semester ends I'm going to sell back my books as early as possible. Because sometimes they get too many books from students and then they don't need any more.

That's really cool that your senior friends would help you out like that. Right now the two reasons why I want to sell them is because they take up a lot of space and because whatever money I get I could use for something. But I don't really think that I may need it. There is one book that I liked reading and I have kept and I also still have my Pschycology book from my first semester because I liked studying it and would like to read more about it and maybe take some more future classes.

Wow that's a really good idea for the school to do. Parents are better off with buying the books and the owners are able to make some money. I wish my elementary school and middle school would have done something like that. But at the end of the year I would see all these brand new books in the trash and I would get so mad that they were throwing out books that weren't even used.

Yeah that's what I'm about to do. Although I owe Ebay some money so I'm going to have to pay that first and then I could sell it.

Oh no. I never use highlighters in the books. And they were brand new. I just think that maybe they weren't using the same edition anymore or something. But I'll just try to sell them online or something.

That's really cool. I have this book that I used for an english class that I am going to keep because I really liked reading it.

Yeah it's really stupid that the old ones aren't used even though they are the same. I heard about a law being passed that required teachers to let students use old editions or something like that. I do hope that they pass it soon because this will help out so many students.

Yeah I could also do that but then I would have to make flyers and get permission from the school to post them around the school. I think I'll rather sell them online. Or maybe I could take some time to do the flyers.

$5! That is just crazy. But I actually get a decent amount I guess. I got around $70 or something like that for one last semester. And yeah if a new edition comes out then it's not worth anything anymore. But I heard that a law was passed that students would be able to use all editions for a class and that teachers should let us know. But I haven't heard about it going into effect or anything. One of the books that I have right now is a math textbook with another package that it came with and I bought it for around $172. I am going to try and sell it again when this semester is over. Hopefully it gets bought if I'm the first one of the students to go. But yeah it's really hard to afford books now, I try to get some of them from the library. So far I'm going to get all the books from one class from the library which will save me a lot of money. Oh and one book from another class. You should try that as an option. Good luck.

Oh okay. That's really cool. I have younger brother and sisters but I don't want to keep them because they take up too much space. And by the time they are in college we'll probably be better off and won't have as much problem as I had buying my college textbooks.
