    College Students - Where should I sell my textbooks?

    Ebay? Amazon? Half.com? The local bookstores? The whole problem is I'm a history major and I'm not sure where to sell 'em to get "top dollar," so to speak. Edit: It sounds like the local bookstores and half.com are the way to go. I'd put up fliers, but I'm a history major at a...
