Amazon student prime has free two-day shipping for college students, so they do have time to get the books at the last minute at deep discounts if the ISBN was not available earlier. And it is important to have that number and not just a title/author or you can end up with the wrong book. And of course they can sell the books back.
My son saved around $500 this past year buying books that way instead of at the university book store, where even used books ran 50% higher or more than what he found online.
