Soooo....

I am not used to my new schedule. And I'm antsy. And bummed. I hate being bummed in any way when it's a sunny f***ing day like this. BLAH. Gimme clouds and dark skies... gimme...

On the plus side, I've learned how to list textbooks on Amazon.com. I'm barely getting anything for two of my books, so I'm going to wait a bit and decide what to do with them later. I didn't realize that Amazon took such a thick cut from some of the lower priced items (like a $15 book), so I might end up keeping one, and selling the other one a different way. Or I'll turn around and sell it on Amazon for the Fall.

We'll see.

Half.com does text books and I don't think they take much (in the range of e-bay fees)

Now that I now longer am an "official representative" of anything within the online Disney community I've decided to end the anomaly of using my full name on message boards (that's why I did originally at MousePad and then at other Disney boards so nobody would think I was trying to spy and infiltrate).

The change from my name to one of my standard internet monikers would be too weird at this late stage but I figured I could at least get my last name out of there.

And that makes complete sense.
I never knew why you used your full name, but I suppose if I were have to ever searched for it, that would have pointed me into all the right directions.

Thanks for that info. It threw me for a loop when I first saw it.

What about eBay? Is that an option for selling your textbooks? I see there is a fairly large amount for same on there.

Also, do schools have end of term book buy-backs? I know that is what I did with a fair amount of my texts.

They do, but they are often picky about what they'll buy back (won't buy it if there's a new edition coming out, won't buy it if the class isn't offered the next session, won't buy certain paperbacks, etc.).

Yeah, that is how it was when I went to school. Except we didn't online options back then (Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet).

I recommended Amazon because in my experience I always got more for the books and they give a decent shipping credit. They also have a better return/refund policy that protects the seller.

Half.com uses eBays rules and PayPal also takes a chunk of the profits. So when using half.com you are paying PayPal fees and ebay fees.

my school buybacks of textbooks always sucked, it was almost not worth selling them back. God Bless the Internet and those that invented it.

Are you no longer going to be doing movie reviews at MP? Or am I just confused and you aren't using your old name at other message boards? Sorry, inquiring minds want to know! Plus I would miss your reviews

I think it is a wise idea though, not using your full name out in cyberspace.
