I eventually only bought the books related to my Major and interests. Books that I had all intention of keeping.

Why do you guys actually return it to the school to get ripped off? Don't you have a website to sell used books private? When I had to buy books costing like $100, I was usually able to sell for $80ish used, unless they changed editions. NEVER sell it back to the bookstore man.

^^ because schools are printing editions for that school only. So you have to buy it new from them, and sell it back to them.

I tried to post one on Amazon that was my school's edition only, and had no luck.
