Ordering used text books on Amazon??

Published

Has anyone done this instead of purchasing from the school. What was your experience? What would you think of purchasing the edition prior to the current one and saving a significant amount of money?

I've used a website called directtextbook which compares the selling prices of different websites and tells you if it's for a new, used or rental textbook. It includes websites like half.com, valore book, amazon, and amazon marketplace.

I have bought many of my books from previous students on craigslist.

I bought a textbook from Amazon yesterday. I am eligible for Prime, so I get free 2 day shipping. It was the cheapest deal I could find for a "like new" used textbook. I have used Barnes & Noble, Valore & Chegg before but it just depends on which it'd is cheaper (including shipping ).
