    Oh, I thought it was chain around most campuses.
    Well, its a bookstore that sells strictly school books, 100 yards off campus, for alot cheaper and they offer this 'rental' service, where you just rent the books for the semester paying a small fee, and the full price of the book at the beginning (for a deposit) then you get it all back at the end when you return the book

    Yah we've got an off-campus bookstore but it has its own name. They usually give a lot more cash back and have many cheaper books. I've always had pretty good luck with half.com though, but you said anything else...I'm out of ideas.

    I just kept myne the whole time. I'd buy them for $120 and the school wanted to give me fifteen dollars and resell them at $80. It was a joke.

    Hmm, I like that off campus idea. Because schools are f**king assholes.
    Im already broke as fvck and your telling me I get back like 80 bucks from 420and I barely even used the books. You are the SCHOOL. Have some sympathy for the students and stop trying to rob them as most of them are already broke, hence the reason thier getting an education in the first place.

    I end up getting 50% cash back for any of my books. It's not a lot but better than nothing at all.

    Yeah, I always sell mine back to the school. I get like 60% back. But most likely you're not going to get more than that.

    Sucks.
