| A few years back I worked in a department office for over a year. Every quarter a professor, I believe Mrs. Adahait in Accounting came into our dept office (not accounting) and talked with the department secretary. Then the department secretary gave her a pink copy of the book requests each professor turned in to the bookstore. When I asked my department secretary about this, she said that this lady worked for or with UBE (University Book Exchange) and that is how they got the ISBN numbers & names of the books each professor was going to use each quarter.
After that long statement... try going to see a department secretary and win her over and see where that gets ya. There's got a be a way or maybe it's public information since UBE does it.... I figured that the Bookstore doesn't give out any info since that would just be one more way of losing money.
I personally buy & sell my textbooks on Half.com (by the makers of Ebay). It's easy to use. You set the price of the book and people buy it and the buyer pays for Media Mail delivery. I think Half.com's cut is about 8-10% of the sale yet don't quote me on that.
Anyway. Hopefully that helps you and good luck! |
