The bookstore, what a ripoff!

I went to the university bookstore today to sell back my books and try to salvage some of the money I spent for them. This semester I spent $350 on books and the bookstore wanted to buy them back for $27. I was so shocked that I had to ask if that was a total. Then, to top it off, when I said that I would just keep them, the lady looked at me as if I had personally offended her. How rude!

The bookstore is a huge rip off. Try selling your books online at half.ebay.com. I've done this for a few years and made a ton more money then I would have if I sold them back to the bookstore.

LAME! I can't believe that they offered less than 10% which is still horribly under what they should buy them back for, they resale them for heaven sakes.

Sell them on half.com, we've made a lot of the cost of Daniel's books back by doing that!

That stinks!

Of course they will sell them for close to what you bought them for. Oh and yes you did see Nate's sister on the news. Pretty cool!
