on 8/5/10Do you find half.com textbooks really are much cheaper than buying them at the bookstore? Thanks for this info
I saved significantly on the used textbooks (purchased condition = like new), they are brand new still in the shrink wrap! I ordered on a Weds. They arrived via fedex on Fri. (2 day turn around). One book brand new at the bookstore (the college and B & N) averaged around $113 and $85 used through the college bookstore. I purchased that one for $72 with free shipping. The other book I purchased was $152 brand new and $113 used (at college bookstore, I purchased that one for $87. Both books are brand new, I opened both books. And if you register with ebates.com and go into the half.com book site through ebates.com they will open a tracking ticket for you and send you into the half.com booksite through their site. Once you purchase the ebates tracking ticket will give you cash back in addition to saving money. I have ordered alot through them and they do not place holds on your account in addition to charging the amount to your account.
