Do you sell your books back? Do you keep the ones for your major as reference material? Do you sell back to the campus book store / amazon / craigslist / other method?
Traditionally I've gone to the book store (I'm lazy) and taken the highest offers. Sometimes they'll offer like $10 for a $150 book and I tend to keep those because I'd just feel guilty for giving up something like that at a fraction of the price. Still probably will never read it again :( |

I rent my textbooks from Chegg. It's about the same as buying from sites like Amazon and Half.com, sometimes cheaper, and I don't have to worry about keeping textbooks I don't want because I can ship them all back for free.
I was going to recommend Chegg to a friend who lives in Alberta because she was complaining about having to buy expensive textbooks, but I checked and they don't ship outside the US. I'm sure Canada has a similar textbook rental service, though. |
