So you're done with the GMAT... what happens to the books?

Would it be possible to donate them to people that would like to do the GMAT, or do all GMAT takers prefer to buy their own spanking brand new books? :P

Maybe GMATClub.com could start a donation drive for old GMAT books and give them to those who are interested in taking the GMAT?

I've got the OG11, Manhattan GMAT, Kaplan 800 sitting around. It seems like a waste to throw them away after spending so much time and money on them....

I'm pretty sure putting a big gulp of vodka in your mouth, along with your gmat books and a match is NOT a good idea.

fireplace =P

I would give mine away, except I have friends who are taking it within the next year, and 1/2 of my books were borrowed from friends who took the test. If anyone is in the bay area and want to temporarily borrow the books for a short time, I'm willing to do that.

I'll send the OG11, MGMAT (SC + copies of the Quant) and Kaplan 800 to anybody who is willing to pay the postage. Mind you, the condition of the books aren't fantastic. I left MGMAT SC open at the window when it was raining... :( and the OG11 too (I think)... but it's all pretty tight.

So anybody interested? However, I'm in South East Asia, so postage might be a bit expensive... but if you're in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc... let me know
