Buy second hand books for school

by Noel on August 27th, 2006

use second hand booksIn the coming weeks, school will be filled with students and it is again time to spend money on books.

One of the best saving tips that we did before was to buy second hand books. It’s nice to have a brand new book but then you’ll just use it for a couple of months.

You’ll save about 50% if you buy used books. Here are some ideas where to get them.

1. Amazon

Check the prices of used books. Some people are selling it cheap.

2. Organization/Club Friends

If you are part of an organization or a club, ask your club mates senior to you. They might have the book you need this year.

3. Sell your old books.

You might know other lower batch students that would need your old books. Why don’t you sell it to them. They get it at a discount, you get the money.

4. Try looking at ebay or other auction sites.

Use the power of the internet to find people who are selling their old books.

The savings you get can be use to buy clothes, or school bag, or other items you need for school.
