Any tips on Selling College Books?  

I don't have experience with selling on eBay. I usually either keep mine or sell them to my peers. I usually post the books for sale on my school's news forum site. I usually look up sale prices on half.com and Amazon before deciding on a selling price range.

There is an OLD SAYING, "If you want to know about a HORSE, look in its mouth, not up the rear end as that's all you will get."

To sell your College BOOKS, use the College notice board, College news paper, college web sites student's page, Hang out places the students go to, like milk bar, burger shop, nite club, Post a page up in windows and trees and posts around the campous with tear offs at the bottom for contact.

Good luck, and this way you also get a better price and can sell local.

Our kids sold their college books back to the bookstore where they were bought. Sure didn't get much for them. You can try to post your books for sale on www.craigslist.com also and see if that works. You won't have to pay any shipping charges by using craigslist since you can list the books in your area. Is there a bulletin board at school where you can list them?

Hello I had 4 almirah full of these books. I too wanted to sell, the second hand book sellers offered a very low price. The person who makes paper bags still lower. Lastly I donated all the books to a college that is close to my home, I am happy to do this lol.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy mylotting, cheers, be happy always.

For me I always use Amazon because the item stays up there and also you can change the prices when need be in case other people price lower than you. For me I always go about 2-3 cents lower than the lowest used price already up.

Now if the books are older you probably aren't going to get anything for them since every couple of years new editions come out and teachers rarely use old editions. Good luck!

My personal experience with bookbyte.com. These people are very honest and pay top dollar. It's a small owned bookstore. They will not misquote you a price. What I mean is they won't say will pay you 200 dollars then take a look at your books and say they are only worth 150 dollars. Half.com is also a very reputable source and is a little bit better than ebay. Good luck!

I think EBAY is already the best way to sell college books. =) Maybe you should try another similar websites other than EBAY, but as far as I heard EBAY is the best one. OR, why don't you try to go to the nearest bookstore to sell the books directly in the counter. My cousin has done that once.
