{Closed} Giveaway: CampusBookRentals.com $50 Credit @textbookrentals

by

My freshman year at Purdue I was completely lost.  I had one week to conquer my schedule, major, myPurdue, Blackboard, sports tickets, and Greek Life- not to mention buy my textbooks!   My friends and I made our rounds at the campus books stores.  Over $450 later I thought I was set for my first semester classes.  Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.  I dropped some classes, add some classes, bought some books I didn’t need, and forgot some books I did need.  This entire process was frustrating, to say the least.

My sophomore year I had heard of several sites where you could buy your books online, but had not tried any yet.  I worried about too much like when and where they would arrive.

By junior year I had it figured out.  I could wait a few extra days for the books.  I knew I was getting the best price.  I even knew I could and would sell them back for a reasonable price at the end of the semester.  I wasn’t able to get all of my books online, but I was able to get most of them and it cut my book expenses for each semester by more than half!

If I were still in school now- I’d say this would be the best new option!  Now you can use CampusBookRentals online to RENT your books at over 90% Off the original price and return them at the end of the semester.  Don’t let those old text books sit around and collect dust.  See if your Summer text books are available on this site today!  Need more incentive to buy online?  Now you enter to Win a $50 Giveaway Credit to use toward your first CampusBookRentals.com purchase!

  5. This would be perfect! I am a single mother & my daughter is in college. We rent her textbooks from Neebo and would love to try a different company also.

  8. I spent alot of $ on books. I saved a lot of $ then later selling my kids books on Amazon.

  10. I’ve had to spend hundred on textbooks, which are usually pretty difficult to sell back. It would be so much nicer to just rent them for a few months.

  11. I tweeted about this giveaway on Twitter: Enter to win $50 for my text books @bargainbriana & @textbookrentals.

  13. I struggle every semester to buy my daughter’s books trying to find the cheapest way to buy them and always have to do everything at the last minute. This sure would help me!

  20. I have two children in college at the same time, and the amount of money we spend on textbooks is amazing. One book for my son was about $200. So any help we get with textbooks would be great!

  23. So far I have bought the majority of my books from the campus bookstore. Though I did buy one used from another student.

    I would like to win this to help with the cost of my books this upcoming semester. It would definitely help out.

  25. I never ever pay full price for my textbooks and usually get them off of amazon.com or half.com if possible. This worked really well for me when I was an undergrad and taking general education courses…it’s harder now that I’m in grad school and need books that are really specific to my field. I keep most of my books now because I know I will actually use them in the future, but if I know that I won’t be using the book again I will sell it or trade it in for an amazon.com gift card. I’d LOVE to win this giveaway! I’m sure this would help with purchasing books for fall semester and free up a little cash so I can eat something else besides kraft mac and cheese :)

  29. I would love to win because my textbooks for school can get very expensive! I do try to buy them used but I want them to be in somewhat good condition – which sometimes you have to pay more for!

  32. I’d like to win this for my daughter. She sometimes buys her books from the college bookstore, then sells them back at the end of the semester (not getting nearly what she paid for them)
    Thank you!

  34. Gosh I could really use a win like this! I am working on my master’s degree and working full time to keep the bills paid, so every little piece like this helps on expenses!

  35. We would love to get this, as my son will be going to Purdue next Fall. He is not
    getting any financial assistance and this would help him out on the books!

  36. This would be wonderful for my sister who has gone back to school. She is a single mom working a full time job and is a full time student.

  39. I would love to win this because I don’t have enough money to buy my boks this coming semester.
