Where to buy cheap COLLEGE TEXTBOOKS?

[lakerforever24]

I need to buy some textbooks!! I checked amazon, ebay, and half.com and most of the books are only like $10 less than my college bookstore...is there anywhere else that is VERY cheap?

i would have gone with half.com but if it's not cheaper there then i'm at a loss.

[shelleyj]

another vote for half.com.

[thenurseisin]

bigwords.com compares prices from different sites, and usually provides cheapest rates.

addall.com

this web site compare prices of all on line book selling sites.

amazon, half.com, bigwords.com, bookbites.com, alibiris.com .......

Try eBay...OR:

My company pays 100% tuition up front for a grade of C or better, they give us paid time off every week and that can be accumulated each semester (I get an extra week off per semester), they pay for all of the new textbooks up front delivered to your front door (you can later sell them when you're done with them), you can study anything you want - it doesn't have to be related to your job and the icing on the cake....
...you get a $10,000 bonus when you graduate!

....oh...and I almost forgot...you're getting paid decently the whole time you're in school!!!!

Now THAT is a slick deal!

I used to go to the classes the semester before and offer cash to the kids in class with the books I needed.

www.dealoz.com is great because this website looks up multiple websites that would sell your textbook and you can see which ones offer it to you the cheapest. I always use this website.

in case you haven't already found what you need, check out http://www.cheap-textbooks.co.nr (it has a listing of the best places to find cheap books)

[sd.Marvelous]

try half.com or look spend some time to look for the postings of students selling books in your school...the latter would probably be the cheapest and you can bargain lol but its a pain in the butt to look thru all the flyers on the bulletin

I just got a smokin' deal on abebooks.com. The campus bookstore is DEFINITELY THE MAN. I love stickin' it to THE MAN!!!!!!!
