And it also sucks when you're selling at the end of the school year, and they've made new editions of the book you wanna sell back. And they'll buy your over $100 book for $5. I say, eff you! I'll sell this on Amazon or use it for a door stop! <abbr><em><abbr><em>poodlegooses last blog post..<a href="http://poodlegoose.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/excuses/" rel="nofollow">Excuses</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Oh, that sucks.

At least you got some money. One year I dropped off my books at a student-run book fair. You drop off your books with a price, your name, and number. They sell the books and you later get the money or unsold books. Except in my case, they "lost" every one of my books and didn't not compensate me. I was out $500. Bitches. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jenns last blog post..<a href="http://la-belle-ecrivaine.blogspot.com/2008/12/169-andrew.html" rel="nofollow">169.

When I sold back my books I got a ton of money but I had to go to a few stores. I'm sure if you call ahead they'll tell you if they're selling and what they're selling for. If not then definitely go the online route.
