Buying/ Selling textbooks on campus and international textbooks?
Monday, April 13th, 2009livegreen350 asked:
Hello,
I’m planning on selling my used textbooks next year to new incoming students to that class, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me from experience whether or not books with highlights and notes in them sell for less, or if the students actually like used textbooks with notes written in the margins. What about when selling to the used book stores?
Also, a question about international books:
I’m a freshman in college, and and I just realized there were such things as “international” textbooks sold online. I didn’t buy it first semester despite their cheaper prices, because I did not trust them. I’m wondering how those international versions differ from the actual print. What are some cons for purchasing the international version instead of the real version? And has anyone tried selling the international books after use? Are students still interested in buying a used “fake” version? Thank you.
