Don't you guys hate it when you buy college textbooks for, like, $350 and when you go to sell them back to the bookstore, you're lucky if you can get $50 back?

I don't sell my books back to the bookstore. I refuse to be screwed over by them. I'd rather sell my books to a friend cheaply...I can make more money selling the books to friends and at the same time, they can save money by not buying from the bookstore.
