What is the best way to sell my used text books?

Question

I have a lot of text books that my brotherand I bought in our college, but we don't want to sell them back to the shool because they give us like 20 dollars each, where as we bought it about 150 each ( the used one). Do you know how to sell them for greater price because I am broke, i REALLY need money now. thanks

Answer 1

half.com  .... many students look for textbooks on this site and unlike ebay's original site there is no limit to how long you can have it posted

now is a great time too since school is about to start

Answer 2

Check into the price that the college/university is selling those particular books at locally, knock of 20% from that price and put them in the local Bargain finder newpaper (on line and off) ~ also, check into www.kijiji.com in your area ~ that might work well too.

Answer 3

I sell mine on ebay. If they are not marked in make sure you mention that. Just barely undercut the other sellers and you'll make way more than the bookstore will give you. People don't want to pay that $150 so they have no prob giving you like 60 or so. + put up ads on bulletin boards at the colllege. When the book store tried to rip me off I saw a kid asking about a book and he was going to get the money from his mom he was just checking the price. I met him outside gave him my number and under cut the book store....
