At each semester's end, students stand in long lines in front of the bookstores, waiting to sell back their books and put a little cash in their pockets to start the summer. Buying and selling books online is another option of which more students are taking advantage. The free site allows students to browse and inquire about a book or post it for sale.
Students find other ways to avoid bookstore prices.
I have not been buying books for a couple semesters, but through sharing and notes, I do not have to deal with expenditures. Students said they have considered book trading over the Internet to save time and money. It could be an answer to the high prices. Terry said students do not expect books to be so expensive, because they are not used to buying college textbooks. Ka Leo welcomes your questions and comments.
