It seems to be a constant debate whether students should buy & sell their textbooks online or back to the school bookstore. A lot of people prefer the convenience of being able to walk in sell a book back & walk out with a check. It turns out the amount you can get back from an online bookstore versus the campus bookstore can sometimes be a $20-$30 difference. I have always bought my textbooks online used & re-sold them back online. I usually end up getting about 70% of my money back at the end of the year. This is an awesome way for students to save money & at the same time get an amazing deal. Online book dealers are making the buying & selling of textbook's easier for the customer. A lot of them are now providing customers free shipping for the text's via a printable shipping tag. The usual turn around from the time the books are mailed to the time the check is in my hand is typically 2 or so weeks. For myself every penny has always counted!! A few sites I live by for buying & selling are Phat Campus, Bookbyte.com & CampusI.com. The best thing you can do is put your textbooks online as soon as you are done with them. This is the best way for you to get the most out of your books. Many of the sites that sell textbooks online also buy back books. Be sure to only send your books to companies that pay for the shipping of your texts. The best dealers out there will pay for your shipping to them. http://www.ThePoorCollegeKid.com Source: www.ezinearticles.com | > |
