            Saved $300 on books this semester by buying used books. (Comparing to used books in bookstore or new books in same store if there weren't any used).

              half.com pays on a two-week schedule, and tells you how to ship.

              I prefer ebay. I like paypal in my account, now.

                  UPS can burn in hell. USPS or Fedex.

                      USPS has a 'media mail' category. HEAVY text books will run you about $2-3. I've shipped small paperbacks for well under $1. Service is typcially 7-10 days.

                            yeah, it's a USPS special rate for media (books, cds, movies, etc). Usually quite a bit cheaper than first class postage. Most books will be right around $1-1.50. Just tell them that it's a book and you want to ship it 'media mail'.
