COLLEGE MOM TRADING POST
Ashford University Used Textbooks

For curiosity, I clicked on the link for books being sold by Graduate students, only to find 3/4ths of them were mislabeled. Can you edit the designation after an ad has been placed? Also, if a person ads a note to a posting that says **SOLD**, and it is just the one book, can you delete it for them? Or do you just have to wait for them to do it? 

Hello.  I have noticed the issue of mislabeling myself.  However, there are so many members and posts on this website that I can not edit each one if they are mislabeled or needing some other type of editing.  I send out email blast to all the members regularly to remind them to keep their post updated or deleted as sold but it seems that most members don't ever read these emails from me.  I quess we have to take the bad with the good.  I am sorry for any inconveiniences this may have caused you.  Good luck with your classes. 

I have a question about another totally different subject. I do not want to post or do anything wrong. I am fund raising for Susan G. Komen 3-Day 60 miles walk and was wondering if I could post my website link in here? I know it would be a very long short to get a donation, but any donation for any amount will add up. Let me know if it is okay to post. Thanks, Tamara

Hello Tamara.  Sorry it took me so long to answer your question.  You can talk about that website on the discussion forum but not the BOOKS FOR SALE link.  Just title it however you want.  I would start it under a different topic than this one like the General topic or so.  Good luck with the fundraiser. 

I don't know if anyone has ever pointed this out, but older editions of books generally make little to no difference in our studies. I have used different editions and ISBN's since the beginning. It has not been an issue at all.Has anyone else tried and found this to be true?

            BJJ, yes I have also found this to be true. I have taken 16 classes at Ashford and almost all the books I  have used have been older editions. I only had one problem with an older edition that wouldn't work, and I had to buy the current edition for that class. Bellistic
