Just Found out what else AMU accepts!!

CLEP101 Wrote:Holy cow, $238 for a book!! I buy them as cheap as I can find them. It doesn't matter if they are advertised as "Very Used" or missing covers or outside damagaed, spine broken, etc. They'll still do the job. Smile

Because of all the comments and threats that assignments change from version to version. The current versions are expensive as all hell. But this is only for actual classes I have to take. For the management CLEP my 50-cent textbook was written in 1992... Smile

Yeah, I will most likely do that. I bought it today from a reseller on Amazon, still in shrink wrap, for $125, with Amazon offering to buy it back for $99.

I actually did that with an old torn up copy of a book I had to have for my English class. It was a horrible book and I bought it used for about $45, the cover was torn up pretty bad but the inside was pristine with no marks or damage. I checked back last month and the same book was selling used for $110 at the cheapest. Turns out the price of textbooks spikes way up leading up to a semester. So I created my own bookstore account and threw it up for $70 (deep discount!!) and it sold in under 24 hours and I made a nearly 50% profit after Amazon's cut! :roflol:

It's sad though, that book was so useless I quit reading out of it after a couple of weeks. For a composition book it had a fair amount of egregious grammar and spelling errors. I feel bad for all the students who have to pay $100-150 for the things.
