Cheapest VCE book store?

[kenhung123]

Which book store do you guys suggest is cheapest for VCE books? 2nd hand or new. I think this would be useful for myself and others to save some money when buying books (textbooks, study guides, check points)

[shinny]

Academic and General as far as I'm aware. There's a 5% discount if you pay by cash.

[kenhung123]

Do they have a big variety too?

Also did anyone hear about senior student resource centre?

Academic and General as far as I'm aware. There's a 5% discount if you pay by cash.

really? ive always thought they were expensive.. they buy books for like 2 bucks each then sell then for $30-40.
 anyway, ive gotten HEAPS of VCE books from various salvation army stores +SAVERS which were basically brand new! (even for the current study design). They're usually 5 bucks for a text book and can be as cheap as 80c for checkpoints (this is the price i got my biology  2008 checkpoints for ). Lots of rich kids who dont want their books just dump em there cuz they cant be bothered selling

Buy off students that are finishing this year. eg: book sales at your school, ebay, vce forums

[kenhung123]

Oh yea, any reason why this forums buy/sell is so dull for textbooks? Where do they all go?
