<p>When do people usually buy textbooks? I was thinking of instead of buying from Cornell, I'd buy from eBay since it's a lot cheaper (even the used ones.)</p>
<p>If I do that, can I still sell back to the Cornell Store? Or do they only buy back from students who have bought from Cornell?</p>
<p>I bought my books already. You can check here.

<p>I use the Faculty Link and verify textbook orders. You can sell back most books to the Cornell Store as long as they are the latest editions.</p>
<p>Amazon works, but be ready for slow book rate mail if you don't pay for priority shipping. I sold my books from my community college classes on amazon, too.</p>
<p>If you buy the books from outside of Cornell, can you sell back to the cornell store?</p>
<p>My friend did (had bought a textbook from half.com, which is another good place to check), and made a nice profit - don't know if that was a fluke thing, or if they really can't tell the difference during book buyback.</p>
<p>I just checked and it says that you don't need a receipt for re-selling. So I guess I can buy it from outside sources...</p>
<p>Just wondering, is the list on the website already final? Or should I wait for a while so I don't end up buying the wrong books that won't be used?</p>
<p>is there a store around ithaca where u can buy text books for cheap?...
or is the only store in cornell?</p>
<p>Kraftee's in collegetown.</p>

<p>i think the cornell store's website is down....</p>
<p>cornell.edu still works though</p>
<p>for me, normally, I would wait until after the first class to know for sure what is required. Sometimes prof's put a lot of books, but on the syllabus you may only be reading a few or even just excerpts.</p>
<p>Next, I would check out the cornell libe's website because sometimes books are put on electronic and you can read it online for free. Also, if you are really stingy, every prof can put all the required reading on course reserve at a library, and you can check them out as necessary. Also, if you are willing to go to the library the first couple of weeks to do this, you could save a lot of money buying online and waiting for it to be delivered to you. The other option would be to buy a new non-wrapped book or better yet a used book. These are returned at full price if you return within two weeks. If take of a wrapper for a book and try to return it, they will either not take it or charge you used book prices. you can use the cornell store's book until you find a great deal online/etc. this is a great option if you are willing to trek back to the cornell store later to return it.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if you wait a little bit, usually Denise Cassaro's bi-weekly emails usually have a TON of students reselling their books, especially econ, psych 101, etc. I would wait to buy a clicker because students re-sell their clickers on denise a lot. You could save a lot of money that way too.</p>
<p>The only thing I usually buy from the cornell store are the manuals and lab workbooks that were especially made for the class.</p>
<p>whats denise cassaro? where can i find this?
where are the books put on electronic? what site?...</p>
<p>oh sexy...good luck this fall! you'll need it!!! xDDD</p>
