That's why I never felt guilty for the scam I pulled at Buffalo when I was a student there over 10 years ago.
The University Bookstore (Follett's, those of you familiar with the name are already cringing I know) contained the campus Post Office as well. So, one my roommates and I had our semester textbook list, we'd simply go to the Post Office counter, get a big box, then fill it with the textbooks we'd need, tape the box up, and mail it to our dorm room. For the price of postage (around $10) we had all our books for the semester, then sold them back at the end of the term. Yeah, we stole books and I'm not proud of it, but at the same time with the ridiculous profit Follett's makes off college students every year (sell a new textbook for $65, they buy it back for $15, then re-sell it used for $40) I never lost sleep over it.
