Heys fellow attenders of college and recent graduates, and resident experts on the purchasing of collegiate texts @ Bargain prices! ;)

It's DEFINATELY time to be trying to buy next semester's bookX now. So, instead of going out and trying to get mine and my wife's, I thot that I'd write a thread about it! :D Of course, this is b/c she's asleep and thinks I am too :) hehehehe...

I have a few websites that I've found for shopping around...the best one of which I've seen so far (I've used all of these sites functions NONE yet...so we can bash them/remove them/give 'em props...as we go.

This site compares the prices of multiple online retailers - pretty handy so far
Wal-Mart Don't hate me for lovin' 'em
Hereafter the rest are known as OTHER until some significant # of ppl think they should be bumped up :D
Another comparison site
Buying site
Claim to have browsing capabilities of selected books - Great for that late night paper!

So, there's some websites...and if NE1 knows some codes that we can use to get some more money off...just do the usual...mention that they Exist "somewhere" but describe them if we're allowed to do that...I dunno :D

God Bless and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The best way to get cheap books, besides stealing them, is to make friends with someone in your major who is a semester or two ahead and buy all their books from them at a price between what the store would pay him and what the store would charge you. Both parties win.
