My best semester went something like this: I sold all the books from my current semester, bought all the books for my new semester, and somehow ended up with about a $100 profit. My friend (who just so happened to manage a local bookstore near campus) always makes fun of me and tells that story to people because I am the only guy he knows that bought all my books for the semester and made money in the process.

Currently it is selling for $7 which is peanuts in comparison to what you will loose if you dont use this method. It has saved my friends and I thousands of dollars compared to buying new and selling back at a huge loss. The book actually details step by step how to do this and gives you 8 different methods in which to accomplish getting books for free. It is ready to download at anytime. The manual is called Get College Books Free, just search the net with quotes around it or click my name above to go to the site if you are interested.

It has definetly hit home. My wife recently decided to go back to college after a 10 year break =). I was blown away with the cost of these books. $50 -$100 each. Wow!!!! Thank you so much for these ideas. I plan to resell the books for her and shop around for better prices and will definetly use the difference to pay down debt.

Did you know that Half.com (eBay) calls the bookstores to list their Textbook online because of volume selling (more fees) than a single student. If you will check the feedback, note the one's with 4ooo or higher they are bookstores. Also, the bookstores are laughing at students that buy online, because they list the books at a higher cost, and do not have to worry about returns due to drop/add. I know this because I worked in a College Bookstore for 4 years.. Off Campus bookstores are cheaper than online and on campus.

Sure beats a 75% loss selling back to the bookstore! I do the same thing and end up with books costing me $10-20 each (due to Amazon taking their cut and shipping costs).
