CHEGG.COM

I sold all my old books to Chegg (http://www.chegg.com/buyback/). They pay top dollar, like $40 each, provide free shipping and plant a tree for every book they buy. I even found a coupon code CC107445 that gets me an extra $5. I stopped buying textbooks and only rent them now from Chegg. Last semester I rented 5 books for $158 with free shipping. The site rocks.

I missed the name of this site in the list....I have purchased from them about 4-5 books and recently a month back sold my used books at reasonable prices.... With millions of titles listed on their site, i usually love browsing this site for hours once i visit it!!!

The Best Place to Sell Used Textbooks

Check out www.MyNextText.com! It is by far the best place to buy and sell used college textbooks to students on your campus. Make more money by not selling to the bookstore and save money by not buying from the bookstore. It's the perfect combination and it's completely free!

Try BookJingle.com

In my opinion, Bookjingle is the best place to sell your books. They offer instant quotes, free shipping, and they pay you in about 48 hours. Another bonus is that they don't just purchase textbooks, they purchase all types of books.

Blue Rectangle

Blue Rectangle is my favorite because it doesn't cost anything to sell your textbooks. Blue Rectangle pays the shipping. The buyback price isn't bad either.

Half.com

I like using Half.com. You can sell textbooks directly to other students. Fees are minimal and buyers are plentiful.

Use GreenTextbooks.org Green Textbooks

I would suggest using GreenTextbooks.org Save Money, Save The Planet GreenTextbooks.org specializes in the recycling of textbooks, DVDs, CDs. Buying used textbooks not only saves you money, but cuts down on greenhouse gases caused by the manufacturing of new textbooks. With GreenTextbooks.org you're not only saving trees, you are saving some green. http://www.greentextbooks.org

BIGWORDS

I like using BIGWORDS to sell used textbooks. The BIGWORDS site has a buyback comparison tool which helps you get the best price possible. There have been some cases in which I have been able to recoup as much as 75 percent of the money I used to buy a book.
