second hand university book

Hei! I was wondering where I can find second hand secondary books for university. I thought there were boards where students can put ads for used books, but unfortunately it seems it doesn't work like this here

Do you have any suggestion?
Kiitos
Ale

In my times (which is now about ten years past) local internet news groups were used (+ paper notes in in noticeboards). I'd surprised if there weren't any system available now, but maybe you need to get into the campus to learn how they work (I make a wild guess that you're starting your first year now).

Ok, maybe you're right: I gotta check better! Anyway, I went to the bookstore of the University (HSE), but they didn't have what I was looking for!
Thank you anyway!

If you're a first year student at HSE then keep an eye on your university mail inbox.
There should be emails on the way from other students selling books they don't need anymore.
They send them to the entire first year mailing list though, so you have to be fast.

Actually I'll just do a course at the Open University, so I guess I won't receive anything

But thank you anyway for your advice! ;P
