If you purchased a TEN ($10) textbook used, it cost you SEVEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($7.50).

When you are finished with it you sell it to the store for half the list price (which was $10).

Therefore, the book cost you $2.50 for the year. This is the cost savings in selling and buying used books.

Unless we are able to buy used books from the students for resale, this savings can never be realized.
