Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
Yeah, and every year the publishers put out new versions of the books so that the 2007 book that you got won't be worth nearly as much as you think it should. I hate textbooks. That's why I like classes where the teacher assigns regular books, and then you can buy them online for absurdly cheaper prices compared to the book stores. It's the worst when you buy a massive textbook for about $80 and then when you go to buy it back they give you $5.
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
My store had a policy of half-back guarentees on some texts, so you get at least half of the cost back. I managed to get $37 on a book for that reason, so I was happy about that. It was the $2 from each book worth $15 that really got to me. But they know they've got students in a bind, especially towards the end of the semester. I swear I get more from selling books at odd times than from selling them at the busy times.
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
Thanks to your tax dollars my books are free...
Thus used occassionally for bonfires.
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
*shakes fist*
I forgot to mention I needed cash fast, so had to sell some books. Still have a few I reckon I could sell online...
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
I think I'm going to donate my books to Africa, do my good deed of the year and get back at the Student Book Store all in one.
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
Donate to Africa? For what? So they can have enough material for lightening fires?
:P
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
you should donate food to africans, they cant eat your books, unless they boil them in water first until the glue gets nice and soft, but theres no nutrients in there.
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
This is very unfair. Does nobody else think of the plebs?
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
They had their chance at a chat thread, and mucked it up. Down with the bourgeois, up with the proletariot! :surprise:

You really want to get this closed, don't you?

Today I needed money because I was out of food. I went to the bookstore to sell back texts and made around $50.
I've had to sell books before, it makes me feel so bad afterwards, I think it's better idea to rob a bank or something if you need the money so badly.

I honestly don't, even though I can happily go to Ana, because it would be an immense lack of style to **** it up for everyone here. I was just emulating everything that went on in the last chat thread. And I chuckle to myself every time more than 2 smilies are used in a row. Especially identical ones.
Like that sig, somewhere in the Total War forums, where it's like 50 darth vader and luke jedi fighting lightsaber majigga smilies. It just reeks of immaturity (Says I :P)
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
Finally! A chat thread without the smelly peasants!

No nutrients? Pshaw, there's plenty of fiber in there!
... and arsenic. Sometimes.
Anyway, I haven't actually sold my books back yet, at all. I never read them during the actual class, so I figure in 4 1/2 years when the Rapture happens and little demons are sticking me in the bum I can get a little smarter by reading the material I was supposed to five years before.
... or I'll be sitting in my bunker for ten years waiting for a rapture that will never happen. Either way I wager I'll be super intelligent by the end of it!:laughter:
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
I just hope engineering books aren't that expensive.
Re: The Elitist Chat Thread
My dad has said he will pay for books next year so I shouldn't need to sell them back.
Its nice to have a chat thread that the plebs can't ruin (I mean one that isn't mason run and doesn't contain discussion on how people shave their balls).
