Hello,

I have tried a few of the book buyback sites, I check all of them to see who has the best price and only use a site if they have a free prepaid shipping label, that is why I usually use http://www.sellbackyourbook.com

They always offer the best price and are super quick with payment!

Since everyone is chiming in with their favorite places to sell books. I will chime in with mine. I have tried all the sites everyone has mentioned, as well as many others. I am wondering why nobody mentioned http://www.ckybooks.com

They simply offer the best prices, find a better price someplace else? They don’t match it, they beat it. To be fair they do not beat the price every time, I have had a few items they could not beat. Several of the other places mentioned, when I have sold books to them, have tried to lower the prices on me after I sent the books.

As for selling on Half.com and amazon.com, I’ve done that before. It is much easier to just sell to one of the sites that buys the books. Yeah I make less but I don’t have any of the hassles of site rules, fees, emails, problems, storage, and on and on. I’ll take the quick cash and they can deal with the headaches…leaves me more time to read.

One of the places I have found to sell used textbooks is http://www.textbookbuyer.com and you can type in the ISBN numbers to your textbooks that you want to sell and sometimes some neat prices show up. It is an old fashioned website (the colors and styles could be more modern) but I have to admit it is fun to click that bright red SELL USED TEXTBOOKS button.

I have been looking for ways to unload my books, without dealing with ebay. Your post and comments were very helpful! Thanks.

I sell a lot of books on Half.com. The best part about Half is that there is no listing fee and you can keep inventory on there for as long as it takes to sell.

I recently checked out selling at Amazon (my sister and I team up to sell her college textbooks) and couldn’t believe the fees they charge over there! For someone who doesn’t sell a huge volume of books, I would probably stay away from Amazon.

I recently signed up with swaptree.com and made my first swap. I sent a DVD off to someone and will get a book I want in return.
