it is a fairly expensive textbook that i hadn’t read. i actually had to read it for the final AFTER i had sold it but not shipped it yet.

i now realize that this book is really really good and don’t want to part with it. is there a way to refund the money or stop the sale or is my only option to sell the book and buy another one for myself?

thanks tons for your help and replies!!!

Well here’s the full problem. Back in January 08 I bought an algebra textbook and when I received it it had black tape covering the top and back a little bit. In the description they didn’t mention the tape. I left the tape on because i thought it was ripped or something but when school ended and i wanted to sell the book i took the tape off and noticed it was an instructors edition. I contacted the seller and they didn’t respond and now I can’t sell it because it’s illegal to sell instructor books and also under the bar code it says NOT FOR SALE. So what should I do?? the book was for $100!!

-Please and thank you
well i think its illegal to sell,i don’t know to be honest

I have asked this question before, and was not satisfied with the answers bc they do not make sense to me. I see 1 textbook in new condition for sale for $13, then I see the SAME EXACT textbook in the same new condition on sale for $999. What is going on?! Last time people said “well there may be a code or cd that comes with the book”. This is not listed in the item description, and even if it was.. $999 for a textbook?! There are 70 other of the same book for sale..why do these people list them for such ridiculously high prices? Do they ever sell?
Sure..for ex, this listing: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0534391869/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=AN6LRRIMAFWNL&v=glance

has one for $999!!!

I bought a textbook today from this book store near my school.
I came home and was taking price sticker off and underneath the sticker it said “NOT FOR SALE”
I am like WTF! I paid $80 for this thing. It even said “This book was originally distributed as a sample copy by the publisher for academic review” And now Im worried that after this semester when i would sell this book, the book store would buy it back from me.

ou need to purchase a textbook for nursing school. The book cost $80.00, and the sales tax where you are purchasing the book is 8.25%. You have $100. How much change will you receive back?

I’m looking to buy a text book for a math class and would like a list of online stores that specialize in textbook sales. I have already tried campusbooks.com, amazon.com, barnsandnobles.com and gohastings.com. Any help would be appreciated.

I bought the book new for an RRP of $70 a few months ago. I hardly used it. I had no idea about the sale otherwise I would have told the person who won the auction. I feel so guilty! Should I refund $25? HELP?

You know how, at the end of the semester, university bookstores do “buy-backs” where you sell your book back to them for less than what you originally paid for it……….

Someone told me that if you buy a textbook online,
and try to sell it to the bookstore during their “buy-back” sale,
the bookstore will accept it, and buy it back from you.

Is that true?

I’m trying to save money by buying online, but my professor is specifically requesting a loose leaf version.

Hello Yahoo Answers Community

I’m confused about these two categories and I would like some clarification. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my impression of the College Accounting book is that it introduces basic concepts while the Principles of Accounting is more like introducing expanded concepts. Would an individual with no accounting experience benefit from the College Accounting textbook or Principles of Accounting textbook? Or could it be both?

Your answer at unraveling this mystery will be appreciated! And just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about, here is the table of contents for a major College Accounting textbook and a major Principles of Accounting textbook (Warning! The info is long!):
