thanks

I for one have my old books and will be selling them to 1Ls once I get back to campus. Assuming versions have not changed and you don't mind a crap load of highlighting, then wait till you get to campus and the 2Ls will sell you their books.

You're awesome, thanks. Quick question: is there like an organized event for this sort of thing, or is it up to the students to find other students to sell to and buy from?

Now to figure out who in my section you are.

There is a supplement table that is more organized, but I can't remember if that is before or after classes start. Mostly it is the 2Ls spamming the marketplace listserv.

Wooo, Section B! I get that precious extra hour on Thursday and Friday mornings.

I'm really looking forward to this.

Section B it is... if anyone else is in Section B and knows anything about April ASD and miniature elephants, PM me... If not, then kindly ignore my distasteful use of a public forum to reference an inside joke.

But don't forget! You can filter it all out using GMail labels!

Am in F. Lawyering is section-specific, so use that and the complete fall schedule pdf. to find our your section, if you haven't already.

How does one access the marketplace listserv? And is it a good idea to wait that late to get books, or are we better off getting them ahead of time at relatively inflated prices?

don't rush to be a part of that. you'll be exposed once your c-mail account is activated. and the best thing you'll get out of the listserv, if you're lucky, is an i-clicker. stick to the internets for your books.

Anyone trying to order books online yet? It looks like all of the case books have a pretty new edition. I am really struggling to find inexpensive books. anyone have any tips?

I purchased most of mine through Amazon, with the exception of some casebooks (Amazon's delivery estimate was Aug 24-Sep 7, too late for my preferences). A classmate told me that he was able to buy some used books that were in great condition (like-new) at decent prices from the Kraftees bookstore near campus.

Definitely look at Kraftees for books - their 2nd hand material was in very good condition. Some new books were cheaper too.
I compared Amazon, Kraftees and Half offerings and took a selection from each. Still very pricey though - just hope I can recover a good amount from resale.

Am in section F, but I do remember those elephants...!

You might want to paste the ISBN numbers into google shopping. I did that and a couple books were 10-20 cheaper than amazon at other places (I think one was Valore Books).

anybody in section E?

Hint: Try bigwords.com for book shopping comparison.

I'm actually walking to campus tomorrow to buy my con law book, because I couldn't find anywhere online that would guarantee it shipped within the month for anything equal to or less than the bookstore price. :-/
