Yeah, in my experience, buying directly from an upper year should get you books either around or lower than the Titles used book price. It makes sense if you think about it - sellers usually try to get more money than they'd receive by selling it back to the bookstore directly (which is usually very little), but they also want to be successful in selling it, so they'll usually price it under the Titles used price (that's what I've seen, anyway).
It doesn't make much sense to price it higher...well, I guess technically they could be a raging capitalist, and use the philosophy that if someone's willing to buy it at that price, then the market can bear it...but in your case, I'd just buy it at Titles :p
