half.com
Just wonder has anyone ever bought from half.com for textbooks? I am looking to save money by buying used books I don't need a brand spanking new book for 190 when I can get it used for 50 or 60 dollars. Thanks for input.

Re: half.com
I have used half.com to do exactly what Davestone did. In fact, in Spring 07 I made 20 dollars on a book. Just be careful because sometimes shippers on half use media mail which takes FOREVER to come in the mail.

Re: half.com
I do the same as well. I actually just sold some texts back to the bookstore yesterday.
