Education & Reference - 19 September 2007

I'm in university and I am debating on whether I should sell my used textbooks or not. Obviously, I could potentially earn back a good amount of the money that I spent buying the book.

But still, is it worth it to sell? And, should I sell it personally (as in person-to-person) or sell it to the campus used bookstore? The Used Bookstore provides an official receipt but only offers 80% of the profit to the seller. If I sell it person-to-person, I figured I could sell it for at least 90% of its original price but no receipts =(

Which brings me to my next point, how do you determine the price of the used textbook? I know that you can't sell it for more than the price you bought it for... but what is usually the percentage of the price that students sell them at? 90%? Will someone buy it that high? I mean, I just want a good fair amount of price on my used textbook if I'm going to sell them.

I am writing an essay for history and need some outside infromation....heres the question...

What were the major arguments used by each side (the supporters and the opponents) in the debates over the ratification of the U.S Constitution?

I already have that the supporters were called federalists, and that they wanted a strong national government, and that the opposers were called the anti-federalists, and that they were afraid of strong national government would weaken powers of the states governments and take away the rights of the people. Any other infromation is greatly appreciated, thankyou for your help :P :)
