Best place to sell used college books

[cancer_survivor_06]

I am currently a SAHM taking online classes full time. I have one book that I currently have listed on ebay but I am not sure if that is the best place for it. It is a Psychology (4th edition by Hockenbury & Hockenbury) book that is in near excellent condition and has never been outside of my house. Where do you buy books from online or where would someone most likely look for this book.

I buy and sell on half.com, but I have to say that the best way to sell a book is go into the class the first or second day of the next semester and just ask. I always think they're hilarious, especially when they interrupt class and better when the professor stops and allows them to try and sell it. I've bought a book like that once, and I think I only remember once or twice when they weren't successful.... It's fun!

I have had great success selling my used textbooks on Amazon!

I sold most of my used textbooks on half.com without a single problem.

Half.com!!

I listed a book earlier today and when I just checked my e-mail, it had sold!

I accidentally clicked enter when listing it on half.com and it posted can I change the price or am I stuck w/ the price listed.

ETA: I figured it out and corrected the problem thanks a bunch.

Yes, that is how they make their money. I love Half.com, I have bought and sold on there for three years now without any problems.

 

[cancer_survivor_06]

I just didn't realize it would be that much.

Okay, I sold my book on half.com last tuesday and the buyer has already received the book but I have not received the payment it still says pending and the pending dates are 1/1/08-1/15/08. Should I be concerned about this or is this normal.

I know amazon takes a while, I'm not sure if half.com is the same.

I have used half.com, just sold my Micro text on eBay last night for $103, and have also used Cash4books.net and textbooksrus--these will buy the books from you and you can even print a free shipping label to send the books to them. Payment via half.com can talk a while--I think they deposit $$ in my acct 1 or 2xs a month.

Half.com deposits the money from sales directly into your account two times a month. Look on the half.com site under selling textbooks and it explains the procedure. I have always been payed on time, never had a problem.

 

[IHeartTink04]

I really like half.com. The only thing that bothers me about it is that you have to wait for the payment until the pay date.

I just bought a book from ecampus.com and was very pleased! I ordered it on Sunday and had it on Tuesday.

Half is a pretty good place. No listing fees, no expiration of listing. They do take commission, but there is no longer a site that doesn't.

Between Half and Amazon, I had a pretty decent side business for about two years. It is fun to get emails all the time saying that you sold something! haha.
