What do you do with textbooks?

Textbooks are expensive. I don't know about high school but usually in college you have to spend fantastic amounts of money on textbooks.
Where do you get your textbooks?What do you do with them after you're done with them?

Depends on the school. If I can't buy them anywhere but the University bookstore, then that's what I do. Otherwise I buy them online at Amazon or something. Then, after the class is over, and if I don't need the books anymore, I just sell it back to the bookstore/online. Hoped that helped! Books are expensive-so good luck!

I give my textbooks to my juniours, sometime they also give money to me for this, and it helps me to buy books for higher classer.

I buy used textbook from people in school for cheap because they post ads with a price or I buy them off ebay/amazon. After the school year, I put them on ads to resell them.

U can sell it to your juniors at a lower price.

OFF TOPIC: Hey guys my friends and I are doing an online survey about online games, we need your help so please check it out and FILL THE FORM:http://goo.gl/forms/VvZYKL8Mmp. This is for the assignment.

It would be good if you guys help me to spread it out. Thanks in advance

For some dumb reason, I kept all my text books.  I didn't even look at them anymore after the semester was over. They were building up in my closet.
But I recently sold some to Chegg (only got $15 worth of credit) and donated the rest to them to clear the clutter. 

I typically buy and sell them used online on a website called Kijiji (kind of like Craigslist). If I can't find a good price I buy the ebook and look for coupon codes using Google to get discounts on the ebook. My University also has a Facebook group where people buy and sell books. 
I find that his is how I get books the cheapest way and once I'm done with the book I sell it and use that money to buy books for the next semester

The school usually has the books unless you get them from somewhere else. Hmmm, you can either sell or keep the books.

I get my books from Amazon. It's cheaper than school prices and I just keep them afterwards. I'll look through them once in a while. 

I have a lot of built in book shelves in my house... and they look ugly empty so I fill them with old $400 dollar textbooks. Financially smart, I know. 

I think textbook exchange groups are the best solution to this problem if you find what you need. On one hand, you get rid of the unnecessary textbooks to free the space. On the other hand, you get what you need for free. Perhaps you will find a list of best personal statement writing services.

I keep them, not sure why. I feel like I might need them later for something? I let a friend borrow a few and she still hasn't returned them to me. 

Collecting dust, LOL

LOl those were the days. when i was a freshmen i was naive and bought all the textbooks i needed before class. now i don't buy any of the textbooks LOL if needed, i find them online (huzzah for PDFs and/or useful friends who can find it if i don't). i mostly rely on lectures by professors. those textbooks i bought when i was a freshmen is sitting on my desk and collecting dust lmao no underclassmen buys textbooks anymore; it's all PDFs. if only i had known...
anyways, in the situation where i actually need the book and it is not online, my friend in the same class buys the textbooks, scans then, returns the textbook to the bookstore, and bam! PDFs.

my school rarely uses our textbooks i do use them though but it depends.

There are many schools that offer after school program in which hobby classes and academic sessions both are included. You can donate your textbooks there.

If you are not aware about those schools, then you can donate your books in the orphanage where lots of kids want to learn new things. Keeping them your textbooks with you is of no use. Sharing knowledge is always good :

I agree with you Royen..

Donating your books is really a good work..

 

Well, I'm in High School so I literally let my textbooks bathe in dust until I need them for an assignment. I can't wait to go to college (:

I sell them used back to the store I purchased 'em. You make money that way.
