Anyone else feel scammed by college books and “buyback”?
Over $600 worth of books, in excellent condition went back today, only get me a measly $90 and the guy had a really crappy attitude to boot!
I was paid in CASH and given no receipt or breakdown of buyback amounts, etc. Do all schools do it that way?
My textbooks this and last semester would have been over $500 from the bookstore, but quite often professors have the textbooks on their webpages so you can order them online on half.com, amazon, and even ebay for a lot less. I paid $200 for books first semester, and made a profit selling them back on amazon.
Even if the textbook isn’t listed long in advance, it’s never hard to survive a week without one. If all else fails, you might be able to buy it from the school for that first week, and return it for full price as soon you get the book in the mail. But sometimes that gets tricky if they’re shrink wrapped.
You really got ripped off, though. Generally you can count on a quarter of what you paid for the books in the student bookstores. I will never do buyback for that reason.
Give half, ebay, and amazon a try. You can almost always get books that look like new or are new for half the price.
