A couple years ago, I went to a big book sale in Gainesville and purchased a college Psychology textbook for $1.25. I bought it because it was the identical book to my AP Psychology class and figured it would be nice to leave one book in my locker and have one at home so I wouldn’t have to lug it around back and forth. I used it a couple times and once the class was over, I put it up in my closet, just in case I ever had to look up a psychological reference (and I guess, for some reason didn’t feel like using google). Anyway, it’s been a year and a half since I last opened the book and when I received an email from eBay stating they were having a “5 cent book, movie, and game listing fee sale,” I decided to list my book sale treasure! I researched completed listings and was so excited when I saw books were coming off for between $60 and $70..in the past week! So, I jumped on the offer and listed mine for $65 and it was purchased less than three hours later! I was shocked and elated! My $1.25 convenient high school book was now being used for a college class in Wisconsin and college students were buying it for $65! And it was a 2006 edition being sold for full price! If you are a college student, you bitterly understand that textbooks usually do not retain their full value for longer than a year. So, needless to say, I was excited! That was my eBay experience for the week.
