Seeking Discount College Textbooks

Making one effort to find discount college textbooks is the key trait of the Thrifty Convenience Seeker. This shopper is once again receiving help with their textbook costs. Because of this they’re less motivated to save money. The main difference from the straight Convenience Seeker is better shopping habits overall. The Thrifty Convenience Seeker will do one round of comparing prices against another store or the Internet. Once they’re satisfied with their effort, overall convenience will be the determining factor in their final buying decision.

By finding more used books and additional savings this group is rewarded with lower costs, but can still end up spending over $500.00. If they elect to sell their books at the end of the term they’ll choose the convenience of the local bookstores. They may be compelled to compare the buyback prices at competing bookstores and find some additional dollars in residual value. If the Thrifty Convenience Seeker sells their books back they can easily reduce their net cost below $500.00.
