Textbooks.com

textbooksForwarded by Javoni.  Thanks Sis! ;0)

While at www.textbooks.com I found the following information:  Although the initial cost of the book wasn’t very competitive ($91) the guarantee buyback price ($53) actually gave me a net price of $38, I guess you can look at it as a “rebate check”   :  )  Here is the info:

Guaranteed Buyback
Guaranteed Buyback is yet another way Textbooks.com saves you cash. Here’s how it works.

1. Look for books labeled “Guaranteed Buyback” (or the icon, [$])
2. Look for the Guaranteed Buyback price.
3. Return your book in good condition at the end of the semester, and we’ll give you that amount of cash back… guaranteed!

Buy used or buy new. Either way, you get the same amount of cash back. Get at least 50% of the purchase price guaranteed!

Books purchased between June 1 and November 30 must be received back at our warehouse by December 31 of the same year. Books purchased between December 1 and May 31 must be received back at our warehouse by the following June 30.

To sell back Guaranteed Buyback books back, simply log in to “My Account.” We’ll provide you with a shipping label to send us the good condition book back free of charge. You can also sell back other good condition books and see if your books qualify for our 10% Bonus Buyback program.

Financial Blessings,

The 2010 Census – A Great Way to Earn Extra Money

us_census

[Excerpted from the US Census Bureau]

The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary part-time census takers for the 2010 Census. The pay is good, the hours are flexible, and the work is close to home. Besides good pay, you’ll have flexible hours, paid training, and the chance to work within your own community. You’ll earn a place in history, as well as work experience you can add to your resume.

Census taker jobs are excellent for retirees, college students, persons who want to work part-time, persons who are between jobs, or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community.

Every 10 years, we conduct a census of our population. The results help determine your representation in government, as well as how federal funds are spent in your community on things like roads, parks, housing, schools, and public safety.

Thousands are needed for temporary jobs. Census takers receive competitive pay on a weekly basis. In addition, you will be reimbursed for authorized mileage and related expenses.

Bilingual speakers are encouraged to apply!

Apply today by contacting your Local Census Office or by calling 1-866-861-2010!
