Selling Back Textbooks

[DigitalWanksta]

For those of you who are in college, where do you sell your textbooks back? Do you have better luck selling them on the internet, or just selling them back directly to the university book store?

eh.. i just sucked it up and sold them back to the bookstores for hardly anything.

I kept all of my science/engineering textbooks though, which were the expensive ones.

Usually the university book store unless they are not going to use the book next semester then I sell them online

I bought $220 in books this semester and just sold them back to the school bookstore and got $130. Not bad I guess. My bank account is about to go negative so I'll take whatever I can get.

That reminds me, anyone need any "services"?

Yeah, I'm thinking about just heading over to the university book store and selling back the books that they give me 50% for. All the others will find a good home on the internet

I do a price search online to see how much my books are worth on the market. If the buyback value from the bookstore is comparable, I let the bookstore have them. It really depends on the book.

Online, I sell them on half.com.

Theres most of my college books. I paid over $3000 for all those. Had I bought them from the unversity bookstore, it probably would have been more like $5000. I remember having to take out loans some semesters just to pay for my books.

Glad those days are over.

I used to buy and sell at half.com. Sometimes, I even profited from sales. Our school's bookstore gave like 25% of it's original value back when you sell to them. Ripoff!
