Buying Used Textbooks

[earpiemom]

I'm sorry to ask but I can't find the thread. I thought I remembered asking before or seeing it before. Does anyone know the website where you can compare buying used textbooks? Thanks!

campusi.com or google products. Campusi has buy and sell prices, google products only has what you can buy them for not sell back.

DH recommends campusi and he works for one of the college textbook marketplaces.

Over the last year i got my books from amazon.com. they have used ones but i have recently bought new ones on amazon for the same price as used copies in my campus bookstore

Bigwords.com allows you to see who has it the cheapest. I have bought several textbooks from Amazon as well.

I use half.com I'm in my last (yipee!!!) semester of nursing school and have saved a TON over the past 34 years compared to what the bookstore was charging. Plus I've re-sold most of the books as I finish w/ them.

If the used book is of a prior edition, you may have difficulty keeping up with the professor when he says turn to page X and the page number is different for your book.

as long as you get just 1 or 2 editions prior it's usually fine. the changes are so minute between editions!

DH rents his text books. I can not remember where but I will ask him. He is upstairs in the middle of a bowl game. He has tried all different ways to get his books and this has been by far the cheapest and very easy!!

try half.com I have used them in the past. Amazon is a good one also.

textbookgenius.com is a decent site. you can search for a book and then it shows you prices for new and used textbooks, or prices to rent at all the major sites -- Amazon, Half.com, eCampus, Alibris, Chegg etc
