Does anyone have any advice on selling textbooks back? I know that the bookstore wont give me much for it, and I have tried 2 online sites: Half.com and Barnesnoble.com
Anyone have luck selling their books in other places except those I listed?
I would put up a sign at my school but they are switching texts for next semester :rambo: Thanks! ~Jen

I know at windsor they replaced the student used bookstore with <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.books4exchange.com">www.books4exchange.com</a><!-- w -->
I haven't used it, and I think i remember someone telling me that when you list your book(s) you have to pay something like 10% of the cost up-front. So even if your book doesn't sell it sounds like they make money... kinda stupid if you ask me. But that's just what I heard, I could be wrong.
Your only other option is probably ebay.
Let me know if you find anything better.

I recommend "the used bookstore". we have one here at UWO, and you get to set your own price. The store takes a commission if they sell. You get a lot more money than doing book buyback in my experience!

Jen, your best bet is to try <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.campusbooks.com">http://www.campusbooks.com</a><!-- m -->
They search the various online bookstores and give you a variety of prices. I believe you have to pay the shipping costs though. Best of luck!
