Save $ Method for Textbooks

A trail of 3 pages, marked with comments, by yhigashi
About this trail:
Whether you go to WSU or not, every college has a central bookstore where most students buy their textbooks... The truth is most students are wasting their money... I present to you a great strategy to saving money on textbooks... I personally have spent under $200 on books after FIVE semesters... Follow my trail and you will see just how to do it... Starting here at the WSU Bookie (central bookstore) you figure out what books you need for your classes, which you can also get from each classes syllabus. Once you take down all the ISBN numbers and/or Author and Title... Go to the next step...

Now that you have the ISBN's, Titles, Authors, etc. for the books you need each semester you then plug them into this website's search bar and BOOM, it gives you accurate results for TONS of different new/used retailers from EBay to Amazon that are selling your book and lets you choose the cheapest one. You then buy the book for the lowest price (which is usually WAY lower then the campus bookstore) and you're set for now... One more step...

After the semester is over and you don't need your books, do not make the mistake of selling them back to the bookstore for a tiny fraction of what you paid for them. Sell them on EBAY or AMAZON or any auction site... Usually you can expect to get EXACTLY what you paid for it or at least a few dollars short of that... This method does not take too much extra time and after four years of college you'll have saved a lot of money... TRY IT!!!
