The rarity of the book also pushes the price up or down, books that are in rotation and usually in demand tend to be much cheaper. While books that aren’t used as much might be a bit on the pricey side. All in all buying books and selling books online seems to be the best practice, and using coupons or similar you can usually get free shipping which saves a bunch of money in the long run.
