<hr>

<p>Here’s my suggestion on how to price the books- Take the rating you gave it (eg. 7) and multiply the fraction (eg 7/10) to the price of a NEW book (eg - (7/10)*(200) - the buyer would pay $140 for that book)</p>

<p>Please let me know if you have a better system or can improve on mine</p>

<p>Hope this works…</p>

<p>I thought students could trade in their first semester books to the USC book store for credit to buy the second semester books. If this is true, I was wondering when they bring in their books to sell to the book store.</p>

<p>rragas - Before everyone gets too involved here, are these types of threads allowed under CC guidelines? Wouldn’t want it to get deleted after people spend time typing up all their lists.</p>

<p>As for the bookstore, the “credit” is abysmal, especially for books that have since been re-published as a new edition. Even for new textbooks, expect $20-$30 credit for a book that will probably be sold “used” for $70 the next month. Selling back textbooks will never be enough to cover the next semester. I think Amazon.com Marketplace or Half.com may offer better returns if you want to re-sell the book. </p>

<p>For future purchases, also consider the rates from textbook “rental” companies that send you the book for a semester. I think there have been threads in other sections about these types of services.</p>

<p>CC is mostly frequented by USC wannabes and parents of current students who have nothing better to do with their lives (I am one of those :D) Selling books here is probably not the best idea. May I suggest [USC</a> Book Exchange](<a href=“http://community.livejournal.com/uscbookexchange/]USC”>http://community.livejournal.com/uscbookexchange/). Not very active, but at least dedicated to this purpose. The LJ and FB groups are probably even better options.</p>

<p>Or parents who can multitasking sucessfully. :D</p>

<p>I’d LIKE to put myself in that category…:confused: … as I’m uploading, downloading, cleaning, cooking, and trying to stuff the remnants of Christmas into the trash can… and looking at my watch to see when the kids will go back to school so I can have a clean quiet house again…</p>
