How Badly Were You Ripped Off On Textbooks For This Upcoming Semester?

I know it has been said a million times before but it is important that we all renew our objection to this thinly veiled scam. Let me tell you how much i spent. After spending hours on the internet, Amazon, Ebay, Abe Books, i spent right around $280. That seems outrageous to me but if i had went through the school bookstore, it would have around $500. Last semester i paid about $350 online and at the bookstore it would have been around $750. Total bullshit and if someone answers this question saying there is even the slightest bit of justification for this price gouging deserves to burn in hell.
