love2read Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Passing through and hoping to pick up a used college bio and psych textbook. Which thrift stores or used book shps might have these? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Is ordering on-line not an option? At physical thrift stores, there is almost no chance you would find the current book needed. On-line, you can try Amazon or Textbooks.com. Oh, also Half.com. I sell my used textbooks on Amazon marketplace; I'm Good Karma Books.

JessReplanted Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 We used to live in that neck of the woods (my husband went to Edinboro) and the best used book deals I ever found were online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 If you do not find what you are looking for, in a brick and mortar store, possibly something in this post I wrote last week, for the blog I am setting up for my wife and DD, will be of interest to you. http://calidama.com/...ooks-on-amazon/ I believe the most important thing I discovered, while shopping for that textbook, is that the prices for that textbook on Amazon.com were not always in order of increasing prices, as one would assume they are. There were 3 pages of search results. On the 2nd and 3rd pages, there were some sellers with very low prices. GL P.S. I worked on a temporary job assignment in Erie, many years ago.

love2read Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks. I'm not looking for a particular edition, just as a reference source and I wanted to check out certain topics before buying. Our thrift store use to have dozens for 50cents each, but they stopped taking them because (surprise) they took up too much space and rarely sold.
