This is also a great opportunity to use something for three months and get 50 percent of your money back. One problem students face is the purchase of a required text that is not used. At best, the return is going to be 50 percent of the original purchase price. The book store then gets the brunt of the student's disgust. We wish every text was used to the fullest extent.
Students do have alternative choices for selling books.
There are numerous local stores that offer to buy back books and offer sales of new and used textbooks. There are also Internet-based companies that purchase used textbooks. Most of the alternatives use the same pricing structure on book buy backs as Titan Shops. Some locations, such as Text Mart in Fullerton, do offer discounts on new text purchases when you sell your used books to them. It's a great deal considering our prices on new and used books are cheaper anyway.
