I go to fullerton college and recently started using kleverz.com to list my books. There weren't many listings on the site yet so I'm guessing they are new but the site looks really awesome.

[kumquatsta]

don't buy a required textbook again until you've researched whether it was even used in your course, talk to previous students, or check to see if there have been contextual textbook reviews written by other students on your campus in flustard.com's bookbase

If only we had some institution of the people for the people which could regulate business from exploiting people like this. Maybe we could have an election once every four years or so to determine who would lead this institution, and maybe there could be a branch of this institution which represented the people of each state... nah that's crazy.

@JagerMikesterX Uh, duh. There's nothing wrong with businesses and universities making revenue. But they have gotten out of control with their prices and their habit of releasing new editions every year, for every subject. There is no reason a paperback textbook for a Lifetime Fitness course (a prerequisite for most degrees) should cost $110. They are simply taking advantage of broke college students because they know they can. And when students need more money for school expenditures, there i

Students in Canada can check out bookmob.ca for the country's largest selection of cheap, used textbooks. Rentals too!

[reedwf]

Book Snatcher (booksnatcher[dot]com) has great options from their Course Search, which tells students which books are assigned for each course and displays the Bookstore, Amazon, and Chegg prices, and their Marketplace, which lets students buy, sell and trade their used textbooks with students across the United States and Canada.

Hopmarks.com is a great place to get the books for cheaper than any university bookstore out there.

[Usedtextbookprices]

UsedTextbookPrices . com is the best place to compare textbook prices before buying, renting or selling.

[JagerMikesterX]

It's a capitalist society, people. Most of our businesses exist for the explicit purpose of continuing to make revenue.

[Usedtextbookprices]

I believe that is best to compare prices with UsedTextbookPrices

before buying or renting books. I trully agree with the video

Force lower prices, only buy from the cheapest source by using tools like campusbooks . com or cheap-textbooks . com

[paxout]

The library has a BOOK sale once per year. I was able to get a calculus text book for only three dollars and it was almost new. They have everything - chemistry, geology, and science.

[greentextbooks]

Great info I would suggest using GreenTextbooks . org

Save Money, Save The Planet

GreenTextbooks . org specializes in the recycling of textbooks, DVDs, CDs. Buying used textbooks not only saves you money, but cuts down on greenhouse gases caused by the manufacturing of new textbooks.

With GreenTextbooks . org you're not only saving trees, you are saving some green. GreenTextbooks . org

I blame globalization. The US is subsidizing the worlds education and what do we get in return? Outsourcing? International edition textbooks are illegal to be sold in the US because they are cheaper? This video misses/ignores the the realty of the situation.

[SYLBM]

the real problem are the teachers who force the students to get it instead of using an older edition of the book. or maybe the teachers are getting pressure from higher up...but yeah, buying online is better.

[SpicyHam]

130$ for 390 pages.

that's 30 cents per page?

[freakmaster87112]

Yea they need to quit ripping off poor college students. More people need to quit going to their school bookstores and start using online sites like ...

[bonniemcgp]

This is a disgrace. As if people aren't having enough trouble affording college, the greedy textbook publishers are ripping them off.  They should be ashamed!

[woeisme524]

textbook costs are hella crazy.

but that guy is just annoying.

[ragingtortilla]

There is a much simpler way to find the cheapest textbooks and sell books and notes straight to other students. Check out i HaveThatBook. com

[pjs538]

stupid, stupid local network news filler. what a load of crap. i love that the idiot doesn't even know a textbook from a penguin edition. wtf has *he* ever contributed to the world, besides his smarmy, overhyped self?

[ScarletKnights]

College textbooks are a scam. Everybody knows it.

I just buy the international edition, from sellers in China, India, etc. Even with international shipping, it usually comes to about $30 total for a book that would cost $150+ in a bookstore in the United States. It's the exact same book.
