Question Posted Thursday December 29 2011, 2:22 pm

Hi, I'm searching online for cheap textbooks for my classes and I'm having a lot of trouble finding reasonable prices. Ive been to abebooks, chegg, and a few other sites but the used books are still disgustingly priced, and I'm not interested in renting. Do any of you know any other sites that will sell books for CHEAP, and not just say they're "cheap". I don't care if the book is falling apart as long as I can read the print. I just cant afford anything else. Thanks..

1. Amazon is your best bet. Its the one stop shop for used books, and most people go here. Retailers know this and this is one of the first places they advertise their books. Chances are if you can't find it here, you wont find it anywhere.

2. Saying that, bookfinder.com searches the cheapest establishment that sells you book you search for.

3. Check in your local used book store. Check in your local business directory e.g. yellow pages to find one near you.

4. Advertise on your campus to see if students that have these books and no longer need them are willing to sell them to you.

5. See if you can find the books in an e-book version. E.g. on amazon kindle. You don't need a kindle to read these e-books, just a computer and the amazon kindle software which is free and easy to download.

6. try checking on websites such as ebay and craigslist.

Good luck, and I hope I helped :)
