Sell back your textbook

I normally do not ask you all to buy books at the UCF bookstore, to keep confusion between sections at a minimum. Sometimes, though, you can sell back to the bookstore at semester's end.

If you have not sold back your textbook yet, you might be able to collect more money for it if you bypass the bookstore. Their price to buy back your book is pitifully low -- I heard $21 -- but they will then turn around your copy and sell it at an outrageous $133.

It really burns my grits.

So if you sell to a friend or roommate in August at $60, your friend or roommate will save significant dineros and you'll have more than the bookstore will give you at buy back.
