um... my closet? I swear I have every book I've ever used ... I keep saying 'I'm gonna sell them on ebay', but I never set up a seller's acct.

I only buy my books online, and I find the cheapest prices by putting the ISBN# in a yahoo or google search...It's a timely process, but I save HUNDREDS that way.

Last semester, I paid $154 for books for 5 classes --- If I bought them in the school bookstore (I calculated, 'cause I'm a nerd), it would've come to $398.

Also, sometimes discount book stores have discounts that are equal to the net... I have friends that have paid the same as I did on half.com, but bought the book at Stony Books on 25A in stony brook.

I've used a lot of sites, if you have questions on any specifics, FM, I've probably used them!!!

I have sold and purchased used textbooks on amazon.com with great success.

barnes and noble is excellent....I ordered a few used text books and they were in decent condition and came pretty fast. Also amazon.com is good too And a lot cheaper too.....those college bookstores are running some monopoly with those text books
