  • That's nothin, $100 for a "required" digital math book we never fuckin used!

  • OMG, you're too precious! LOL! Love you vid.

  • Best point you made - price fixing is illegal!

    You can't resell your digital copy - illegal!

    You can't share your copy - illegal!

  • The ebooks we have expire lol, such a damn scam and the school allows it.

  • skeet skeet
