tennis, anyone?, or, what a beautiful racket!

Ye gods. Selling books back is even more of a pointless exercise now than it was when I was an undergrad. Out of a grand total of $120 worth of books I'll never use again, I got back $5. I made them take the ones they wouldn't give me anything for, because I can use the bookshelf space for other things (and besides, I don't like reading plays in the first place). So, I guess what it boils down to is, I've got bookshelf space that cost me $115. Somebody somewhere in this process must be raking in the cash hand over fist. Take a book that costs $11 new, sell it for $6 used, buy it back for $0.50...the Mob should get in on this.

I'm not mad, and I'm not surprised; I'm just disappointed.
