I did it just for kicks (and who dosen't like free things every now and again) apparently they are over 4.5 million free ones given away already. If you do want it might not want ot put it off or else you will miss out on your 85cents of free goodness ;-)

One of the reasons I always bought new books and never sold them back. Never wanted to feed the student exploitation system.

"Lets over-charge for textbooks, offer them 10% of the original price at the end of the semester, then sell them to other students at a 10% mark down from new prices!" What a racket.

It'd be nice if the school or some students set up a co-operative buy back, where people could sell their old books themselves and not give 80% of the price to the thieving SOBs.

Anyway, I'm getting my free candy bar. #4601824.

half.ebay.com I buy all my books there and sell them back at the end of the semester. Selling is easy as it can be because all you gotta do to list it is get the ISBN off the barcode on the back. Usually can buy a book and turn it around the next semester for the exact same ammount (assuming it's not already an older text that no school uses).

I have already received a few free ones...but then again, I only live about 15 minutes away from Hershey, PA. It is really easy to get 'chocolated out' when you live this close to the Chocolate Capital of the USA. :black:

I went there too. I wanted to go on one of the tours, but we got there around closing time. The place was full of little kids on their field trips, I miss field trips so much. Jefe, did you go on the Hershey ride and get your picture taken like I did? :cool:
