OK... I'm sure many of you guys know about this, seeing as you're saavy enough to be on LW, but I want to make sure everyone is well-informed... If you can manage to get a list of your textbooks, you can search http://www.half.com for really discounted books. I have been using this site for a couple of quarters now, and wouldn't do it any other way. I normally spend about 1/3 of the normal asking price for brand new books...
You can also resell your used textbooks there for a bit more than the bookstore at school will pay.
It's realy convenient, but watch out- sometimes it can take awhile to get a book through media mail, if you need it in a hurry choose expedited shipping for about $2.00 more.
(I don't work for ebay or its subsidiaries... just trying to help people dodge the insane retail prices of college textbooks)
