Screw college and their books... I paid nearly $500 for my books at the beginning of the semester and I just sold them back to the same store for a whopping $44.75..... what a freakin rip off.

It doesn't help that also they don't accept all the books you buy. I paid $110 for my finite math book at the beginning of the semester USED and they're switching over to the new edition next semester. So they wouldn't accept that book.
And, I never once opened the damn book. $110 down the drain.

+1 on selling on sites like Half.com or Amazon or places like that. I even buy my books from those sites now, if you dont mind waiting a week or less to get them, it usually saves me at least $100+ bucks a semester.
