Yeah the buyback prices are a JOKE. I was given $8 for a $106 book yesterday.

It's the day when Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and that other guy saved us all from an annihilation from the British Empire.

But as soon as you don't buy them, they'll decide to use the book exclusively and the bookstore will be out of them. Oh sure, you can get them from Amazon, but it'll take two months to process and ship the order.

And people wonder why I don't want to go back for more school.

It's true. I use half.com to get my textbooks usually and that is only a 2 week wait at most. But ya alot of my profs don't even use the book. Annoying as shiznit.

I wish I had a break too.

Our books had PDF copies with them usually. That's when I stopped buying books.
