So I try to sell back a practically new condition Engineering book I bought for nearly $200. What I get? $15. Barely enough to get a haircut. I've given up on buying books for college a long time ago. The school library + photocopy card == woot. That or make friends with a nerdy girl, get her to like you, then borrow her book for the entire term.
There was a study at UC Berkeley (where I used to go) that found out that each "new" edition was simply a rehash and reordering of the existing chapters. But since the "old" edition gets shit-canned so fast, students and professors are forced to buy the new book... which is gonna last about 2 semesters before it gets shit-canned for the next edition.
