Do you still have your college textbooks?

[DJSmooth]

Yup a few math books and books related to my major.
Still have a few history books because I like history.

If I need to look up something. I like knowing it's there to pluck off the shelf.

Also I have books for decoration at this point. I have books all over my house.

Mostly vanity. I keep them to remind myself that I survived some tough classes in college. So when I feel like I'm too stupid to do something or learn something new, I see the books and remember that I'm not a total idiot.

They also look good on my office bookshelves and fill space. They used to help a little with interview prep before ChatGPT and AI took over.

I rarely open them but it happens. When I want to remember about some economic concept or freshen up my spanish

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

No. I was broke. I sold them on Amazon.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

I still have this at my moms house, I have no idea why I keep it

It's a shame the pdf textbook wave hit. Books like this could have become collector's items down the line. A purist might drop some cash on a physical copy someday, though.

fukk kind of sucker I look like giving them shyts back to the school for free? I resold what I could fit 10 dollars less, or I still own them shyts........

Schools got the same buy back evaluators as Gamestop, lol. 100-200 dollars originally, best they can do is 10 dollars...or better yet, its by your professor that's teaching the class, and they came out with the 6.5th edition so the 6th edition is no longer being sold.

I'm just gonna get them shyts off of libgen or archive

Nah I used to sell them after the semester was done. My college would phase out the previous semester textbooks to kill the sellback market but community colleges would use them. So you could easily make $50-100 bucks.

I think by junior/senior year i stopped trying to sell them back, there was a small window where you could sell them back to the bookstore so i just didn’t bother

"Books outdated, new edition just came out. We'll give you 50"

I don't know if that was the college, it could've been. It was likely the publisher.

I came thru with an abnormal psychology book. Teacher was like this the the 5th edition. I had the 4th I scored on Amazon for cheap.

It was the exact same book, exact same chapters, paragraphs and pictures. Just chapter 1, was now chapter 4 , chapter 2 was chapter 11. Chapter 3 was chapter 7, chapter 4 was chapter 1.

He was like " obviously just match up what were discussing with the chapter in your book.
