There are also price alert services that will email you when a book reaches a certain price. I’ve found this really useful, because while the latest version of a textbook might be $100 new and $60 used, you can sometimes get the same version used in great condition for much lower than the normal used price, especially after the end of a semester.
This is really useful when you don’t need the book soon but know that you’d like to buy it at some point.
