I just did a quick check on barnes and noble (I have had good luck selling books back in the past). $40 for my criminal justice book, $32 for my international marketing, and they aren't buying my autism class book (no surprise as this is a smaller prof written book) and also not buying back sociology. Anyhow $72 sounds good except I paid $300 for all these books. Trying to decide if I want to go the bn.com route or drive out to my school this weekend and try to sell them back then.....

Anyone else have any luck?

That sounds good actually.
$72 for $300.

I am not able to sell mine back this year.
Two of my books met their end with a cup of coffee
and the other two books are so raggedy from me dragging it around
at work during break.
My books were $550, two were used. :(

I think I am going to be a little more careful this upcoming semester!

selling back your autism book? even though it has a one of a kind jackson traced hand print in it? *gasp* that is a COLLECTORS item lady!

oh and can you call the school bookstore and ask what price they are buying it back for?

bn didn't want that book :( lol i think i might do just that, call the school. i would love not to drive out to hungtington, if only i didn't have this darned rock tumbler to try and return

Nah.

I get my books used, then abUSE them, as in - write my comments, underline, highlight, draw arrows, etc.,

Some writing is in Russian, some in English, so nobody but me can even make sense of it :p

I can't sell back my modern short story book, as 45 pages fell out of the middle. Some of them are lost and I'm bummed cause I wanted to KEEP it! LOL

I am going to try to sell my chem (dropped) and bio (dropped) online. My comm book was custom published by the school as was my english guide (everyday writer is so much better) so I have to sell those back to the school if I want to get rid of them (and I do!).

I'm hoping to get enough $$ total for next sem. I'm only taking two classes so might be doable.

I drove out today to sell them at teh school and got almost $100 for the two books!!

That's good! I had three (out of four classes) I was going to sell to the school. They wouldn't take two of them, and offered me $21 for the third. I took them across the street to L&M Bookstore, where I'd bought them, and they took 'em all for $149. :woohoo: Not bad, considering I paid not quite $400 for all four books. (I've grown attached to my Ethics textbook, so I'm keeping it.)

I sell mine on on craigslist, get more then the bookstore and some of them like the bio and chem they won't even buy back since they come with the online access. I just gave the new buyer my online code so they could access the stuff too. Did your custom books have bad binding too? Two of my books started losing pages just a few weeks into class.
