Selling Textbooks

So, usually after a semster of hard work, I get the reward of selling my books back to the bookstore to get some bar money! Well, this semster, it seems all the professors wanted to update to new editions for next semester, so I only ended up selling two books back (not even textbooks) for a whopping $10!

Some of my friends told me to sell them on E-bay or Amazon...anyone done this with textbooks before? When is the best time to list them?

 

I have heard that buying and selling textbooks through half.com is the best deal. you can actually turn a profit on half.com if you do it right.

selling books back to the school is normally a joke.

 

Whats your major? What books are you trying to off-load.

 

yeah same here. Sold my calc, physics and psych books yesterday and got 140$. I paid 350 for them.

 

sell them now, I got around $100 for books that people left behind at the book store that they didn't buy back, hahah =profit for me!

 

Its even better when you you only needed the book for like five homework problems.

 

i have pretty much stopped buying school books. i never read them and get nothing on resale.
