<p>^ scratch that... they're offering $50 now...
<em>decisions, decisions</em></p>
<p>So you ended up haggling with them? :p</p>
<p>no... the price went up from a couple weeks ago xD
<em>wonder if haggling ever works</em></p>
<p>Try it. ;)</p>
<p>liyana, dude you can get over 50% from ucla? SELL!</p>
<p>it's not OVER 50%...
it IS 50%.
though that's still pretty good though. i'm selling it.
along with all my books from last quarter... for pennies... <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>nothing like getting $1 for a book you paid $12 for.</p>
<p>you people are so lazy. whats so hard about putting a book in an envelope and writing an address on it. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>what's the average percentage you get back from selling online?</p>

Anything 1 lb. and over, you have to go to the post office to get something mailed.</p>

This method works the best for me.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, woohoo, done with finals :-) Anybody ever take a 12 hr. final on a Saturday?</p>
<p>I sell on amazon. Often times i sell for the same price i purchased, maybe 5 dollars less, a few times i sold it for more than what i purchased it for because i will include notes, or i will bundle it with a solutions manuel and up the price by 5 bucks or so. </p>
<p>Amazon is great, and its really easy to mail the stuff. For one if you know how much your stuff weighs you do not have to go to the post office, you can print your postage online, second, you can use those automated things in the post office so you can do it in the middle of the night if you want or whenever.</p>
<p>i would rather spend 5 min packaging the book and 15 min at the post office, for a total of 20min to get my money back.. However i rarely even spend 20 minutes doing that. its usually like 10 min or less, and plus, i go to the post office on my own too. </p>
<p>I usually sell two or more semesters worth of books and get 300-400 dollars, i do it when i am short on money.</p>
<p>So you can actually get back what you pay for? sounds way better than buyback. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
you've obviously never experienced the power of "guesstimating" and online postage printing.</p>
<p>and those of you with paypal, theres a link so you can print a paypal shipping label (even though you didnt receive money through paypal for the thing you sold) using any USPS service (ie media mail), along with discounted delivery confirmation. the USPS site only allows online postage for priority & express mail, and if you goto the PO, they dont allow delivery confirmation for media mail. ;)</p>
<p>thanks for the tip!</p>
<p>ok so i caved... sold my stuff back to UCLA... but since they upped the buyback price i only lost $15 from what i would have gotten selling the two LS books elsewhere.
add in my anthro book and GE stuff from fall quarter, i had a nice $100 cash wad in my wallet...
...for the 5 minutes it took to walk to the ATM :rolleyes:</p>
<p>ekn usually like 25-30% hahaha</p>
<p>

You're obviously presumptuous about others.</p>
<p>only 25-30%? ...sigh.</p>
<p>well if your timing is right, you can get 50% back from UCLA and not have to deal with the internet. like me.
or you can mix 50% $100 dollar books with a bazilliontrillionaosihfsa $1 books you paid a ton more for...
and end up at 25-30% anyways -.-</p>
<p>i get back what i bought it for b/c usually the books i get are in demand...... also i always sell my books as new, because they look new and i dont highlight, write, get dirty, use as umbrella, use as door stopper, use as chair, etc with my book. I keep it covered and lookking new.</p>
<p>so yes, when you sell your book as new, it works.</p>
