With the starting of a new semester I figured I would bring it up again...Chegg.com just saved me over $600 this semester....$180 Sociology book for $4.99. LOL

Lucky sob, I only found one  book for a class I have, and it turns out I don't need it at all. :

I'll keep checking it though, because it looks like I might be able to get a deal someday.

Son of a B, i forgot about that website just dropped 486$ on books for 3 classes.you should have posted this 2 days ago Lol

I saved over $400 on 4 books. Half.com took care of the other two. Found a $160 dollar Operations Management book for $8 shipped priority  ;D

My business statistic book is 215 bucks. I rented it from Cheggs for 50 bucks. They even threw in a free bottle opener with my order. Cheggs really knows what a real college students want; cheap book and free bottle opener. ;D

Campus bookstore textbooks = sanctioned organized crime.

chegg.com never carries the book I need for courses...any other website you guys would recommend?

agreed. Chegg, amazon, and half will hopefully begin to force the school bookstores to change their practices. The only advantage the bookstores have over the online retailers/renters is that it's much easier to find and buy all the books you need. The kids who have their parents buy their books don't care so much about saving money so they just buy the books from the bookstores because they don't have to search for all of them individually. I stopped buying from the school bookstore during my sophomore year. Then I refused to even sell my books to them at the end of the semester. I sold them to an independent off-campus bookstore just out of spite.

Amen to that. I just started back to school and it is criminal what they charge for some books. I bought a used textbook for 153.00. Another student told me she purchased the same book previous semester new, and when she went to sell it back to her, they offered her 15.00 dollars for it. That is quite a mark-up, buy for 15.00 and sell for 153.00.

She told them she would burn it before she sold it back to them for 15.00. I like her style.

Chegg puts their stuff everywhere on campus. I can not stand them. They put stickers all over my door and a fake ticket on my truck and they spray paint their logo all over the sidewalks...They drive me insane.

They can do whatever they want. In the two years I have used them I have saved over 2k. I think my gf has saved about the same.

I agree. My only regret in college is not trying Chegg earlier.

2 GRAND? Maybe it's time for me to start eating my words. This semester i would have only saved $40 as most of my books were not on there. Maybe next year. But if I'm saving 2 grand, they could spraypaint their logo on me for all I care.
