Just to chime in again,
I've found great success purchasing my books off of eBay.
there is a website I use, bigwords.com, that does a search of the ISBN for the whole marketplace of book sellers minus eBay for the cheapest price for a text book, given the options to buy new, used, or rent. It also includes which stores you can sell the book back at the highest rate.
Using that info, i then look on ebay to see if I can find any prices that beat the bigwords prices and purchase it depending on the condition (if buy now is an option). So far I have actually made a profit on 2 books, and have broke completely even on 3.
Just my experience. I'll continue to do so until it fails to work.
