Okay, I’ll admit it.  I was ready to rant and rave about college textbooks and the stunningly expensive books that they make you buy and half the time don’t have to read or use because the professor deviates from the flightplan and goes on their own solo trip…  and then when you sell them back, barely used… the poor student is given like pennies on the dollar for the book.

Jessy had three books that she wanted to sell back and today was the last day for awhile… so we went over to the school.  She had high hopes, I knew better.   Afterall…  you hear all the stories and I remember back the OLD DAYS when I went to college… well….  we get there and of the three books, they only could buy back two.   I sighed.   I’m thinking $20?

The nice fellow totals it up and gives Jess $61.

Wow.   $61 for two books?   Of course, those books cost her about $130…  but still, about half price?  Wow.  I was very very very surprised.  Still not great… and I do not understand why a simple soft cover book on world history has to cost $95.   Don’t get me started on that… shesh!

But I was thrilled to see her get a decent amount back for just two books.

And I will admit… I was pretty surprised.
