Back To School Books, With Amazon?

Used TextbooksI didn’t realize that you can supply yourself with used textbooks for the upcoming school semester through Amazon? They actually offer used textbooks, and at a discount of up to 90% off the cover price.

It’s obviously a crap shoot when you’re buying online, sight unseen, but sometimes one has to do that they need to, to save the bucks.  Yet for me, I’ve yet to have a bad experience buying anything through Amazon.

If you do look to buy used textbooks via Amazon, Amazon teases you with offers like becoming a member of the ‘Amazon Student’ club and you get free two-day shipping by joining.*  (*At the time of this writing.)

Can it hurt to look? You never know if you might find exactly what you’re looking for and be surprised by the end result.  All I suggest is that if you go this route, pay attention to the vendor ratings/reviews. Get a feel for what folks have said in the past about them before taking the plunge and go from there.

I hope this helps out.  I’d love to hear from any readers who partake.  Come back and leave us your experience in the comments section!
