Varney's Rallyhouse

Varney's is a monopoly. There are books that are REQUIRED for certain classes and are ONLY available at Varney's. I've spent well over $100 on books that were basically one big magazine, they could easily sell them for $50-$60 and still make money but they're greedy. They make it sound like you are able to get a good deal by selling back your books back to them after the semester, but they then lowball you on offers for the books, that's if they even MAKE an offer! Most of the time (from my personal experiences) they don't even buy back the books. Trust me, Amazon is your friend.

I can't believe K-State allows this overpriced book store to handle their text book orders. Terrible service insanely high prices. They then buy the books back from the students at fraction of the price they sold them for. Even on used books they buy the books back at a third or LESS of their selling price. I advise students to look online in advance and get their books there. After comparing prices you'll never step foot in this store again. If you do, prepare to wait a good hour in line.

Very good service! Had decently priced books and good customer service. It was a great place to pick up most specialized materials for all my classes.

Lots of options and styles to choose from.

Too many people are blaming Varney's for what the publishers are doing to their own text books. Text books are expensive and yes you can get most for a slightly cheaper price online, but I have found that waiting until the first day of class and finding out which books I really need has saved me a bunch of money. The service people are a bit slow especially when responding to email and voice mail messages, but they are very nice and genuinely want to help you out. Their school supplies are more expensive than wal-mart, but they have a lot of stuff no one else does too.
