FYI: Search, Save Time, and Buy Online

This is the time when most students panic and realize they need to buy books and sell other books from last semester if they have not done so already. Some of the common places students start to search include but not limited to are: Facebook Marketplace, Half.com, Amazon, and a myriad of other sites. These sites are all frequented by college students and other independent book sellers. Two great resources for researching the best prices all over the web instantaneously include gettextbooks.com and studentlistings.com. Still, these sites provide the lowest prices and not necessarily the best products. For example, you may find a book that is the best deal but the description of the book is as follows: "Cover is mangled, pages are frayed, coffee stains,etc." Therefore, it is important to visit these sites and read the description before purchasing the book. These sites are great because it alleviates the hours that would have been spent scouring the internet and the vast number of sites that sell textbooks.
