I was just curious fot those of you who are Ivy Tech students or even just college students if you have ever purchased textbooks online? I am looking into purchasing a few of my textbooks through craigslist, they are a great deal and I dont want to pay full price. Just curious what anyone thought of this?

What if it doesnt include the cd or sylabus, thats no big deal right, not for the simple english and math classes?Is there anyway to know that I am getting the right book without going to the bookstore to find out? Any advice greatly appreciated..

Never done it before. What classes are you taking, what books are you needing? Actually first I guess I should ask, which campus are you out of?

My last few semester I bought all of my books online from various sites. Just make sure you have the right edition. It is soooo much cheaper!

hmm… it’s been a while since I took all those. I know the Math books change just about every year, so be careful buying those, because they could be the wrong ones. I have Eng 111, but not sure if that was has changes either. I took it like 3 years ago. Find out exactly what the English one is and if I have the one you need I’ll just pass it on to you. PM me with that info, in case I forget to check back here. Are you taking these online? What are you going for?

Definitely buy them online if you can. I used to spend an hour each semester doing the math to figure out where I could get all my books the cheapest. Most times it turned out I could get them from http://www.ecampus.com the cheapest.

I have purchased mine before on craigslist. I have also bought on half.com. I am trying to find a book right now and on amazon it shows it has not even released yet. Err… guess I have to buy that one through the bookstore. What I have done is go to the bookstore, find the books that you need. Write down all the necessary info about them, even a descrip of the cover. Then find your craigslist person and make sure they match up.

Good luck. I may be at the Lawrence campus this year. Not sure yet.

What are going for? I have the math books – there are 2 that will get you all the way through 111. I also have ANP 101/102, Ivy 101, Psy 101. Pm me if you are interested.

I used to only get my books online when I was in college. It was way cheaper and you can still sell them back to your school at the end of the semester or whatever. I got mine off of ebay and amazon even though I got tired of amazong because they always took too long! I stuck with ebay towards the end of my college career though because I got the books faster and I liked the system better too!
