Hi.\n\nI really recommend setting up a seller account at Amazon.com.  It's VERY easy to do and then you have a lot of control over the price your book gets.  By entering in the textbook ISBN, you'll also know if there's any current demand for your book (e.g. if there are a ton of texts at a low price, just donate the book; you probably won't get a decent buyer worth your effort).\n\nAlthough Amazon.com charges a commission, they also give you a shipping concession (amount varies, but generally $3-$5 per book).  If you ship media mail, you can generally make a little money on the shipping, too.  Besides, even though you pay Amazon a commission, you still generally come out ahead over the campus bookstores.\n\nBy the way, selling books on Amazon.com is exactly what services like textbook411 and cash4books do, too.  (You can also try half.com and bigwords.com.)\n\nI've sold textbooks on Amazon pretty quickly.  Generally, I have them only in my possession (after listing) for 3-5 days.  Depending on the time of year (summer is generally slow), I may have them longer, but it's okay.  Eventually they sell and I get much more than I would've otherwise.\n\nFinally, as a last resort, don't throw your books away.  You can donate and ship them for free where the texts will benefit third world countries and literacy programs.  Visit http://www.betterworldbooks.com/bigwordsmrs/ for more information.\n\nI highly recommend it!

If you are comfortable with internet then go to pricewatch.com and you can buy at a bargain price. Use your credit card because if there is anything wrong you can always stop payment without any charge.\n\nIf you are not comfortable with internet then you have to shop around for a bargain. Like Comp USA, Kmart, Walmart etc.

It depends for what you are looking.  If it's precice and exact information you are looking for, this questiona and answer deal on yahoo is very handy.  \n\nIf it is general information, wikipedia.com is outstanding.  It consists only of articles written by people, but the information is very accurate because it has a reference and screening process on it.  If wrong information is listed, it's withdrawn almost immediately.\n\nIf it's stuff you want to buy, amazon.com is great!  You can find refurbished anything on there with the same warranty for sometimes a quarter the price, and that's no joke.  You will find used or new books cheaper there than anywhere.  The other day I bought a brand new book from author David Dieda, and it only cost me $0.01 plus $3.50 shipping(the shipping on books is always the same unless you by straight from amazon, in which they may give you supersaver free shipping after so many purchases).  Ebay is ok, but, I've had problems before.  I'd always try both of these sites, and see what's the best price, but if they're roughly the same, go to amazon.  I've had over a hundred purchases from amazon, and never once had any problem.  It's great for electronics/books/anything you could possibly want.  \n\nIf you're looking to download software or anything, downloads.com has pretty much everything.  Check that out.\n\nIf you're looking for links, yahoo and google are great.

1) You don't have to leave the house to buy a book, and believe me, I have to go a long way to buy English language books (in Russia).\n\n2) You can quickly and easily search the stock that is available and find out what they have and when you can get it.  you can also get reviews of the books and see what other people thought about it.\n\n3)  You can easily see what other books the author has written if you liked another book by that author, and order them.\n\n4)  You can get books that are sometimes hard to find at bricks and mortar bookstores, and even purchase them used and save a few bucks.\n\n5)  You can sell your used books, sometimes for a relatively high percentage of original value.

You could check on Amazon, Half, and Ebay (or sites like that) for the titles to see how much other people are charging for their books (and how much they are getting in the autions).\n\nYou could take them to a used book store or two and ask.\n\nYou could have a book appraiser come in and apraise them for you.

You can either get a few books at your library, or buy a used course off ebay.  You can often get a good deal without shelling out the huge dollars.

don't buy silly stuff\n\nan easy way of doing that, is working out how much you want to spend on things from what you get per month.\nfor example if you hve 100$, spend 20$ on food, 20$ on coffee, 30$ on clothes and 30$ on going out. \nit all depends on your priorities and what you feel is important. \nkeep a note of it in your purse and keep track of what you're buying (keep receipts so you can check)\nif you want something but have already spent the money dedicated to that, eg if you want another coffee, but you've spent the 20$ dedicated to that, just get a glass of water: you know you can't afford it. \nand then you will learn to control your spending.\n\ngood luck

Alrighty then.\n\nCheck out www.amazon.com. They have books you can't even find in the library or in the bookstore. The books all have a discount and if you make a purchase of at leasts $24 you can get free shipping.

Book cost depends on new verus used and what classes you take.  You can also find cheaper textbooks online, so make sure you look around.  Used books are always great, so don't shy away from them.

Many places depending on where you live. Try half.com, where you can list the books and when someone wants to buy your book then they will contact you. Also, try your college. The college I go to does a book buy back if they will be using the same book next semester. Also, there is a store near by where I live called McKay's books and c.d.'s. They don't give much for your books but you may have something similar near where you live that may give more. And lastly, if you know that the books will be used next semester try selling them to other students. Post an ad in your schools newspaper or on a bulletin board around campus.
