textbook sales back

[Altema]

<p>I’ve had the worst luck with selling books back via ebay or amazon. Newer versions of my most expensive books love to come out as soon as I finish the class which destroys the value of my book like no other. I had an accounting 1a book I bought for 136$ and I couldn’t buy it anywhere because it came with e-grade plus; I didn’t really use it either =. I sold that book for 40ish because the e-grade was worthless and the book alone was selling for like 40-50ish on ebay. </p>

<p>Maybe this semester will be a little bit better.</p>

I sell on amazon. Often times i sell for the same price i purchased, maybe 5 dollars less, a few times i sold it for more than what i purchased it for because i will include notes, or i will bundle it with a solutions manuel and up the price by 5 bucks or so.

Amazon is not the best place to sell for profit, but if you are looking to get rid of the books quickly, then it is a good option.</p>

<p>The selling commission is insane for Amazon.</p>

<p>

and those of you with paypal, theres a link so you can print a paypal shipping label

Much more convenient.</p>

use as door stopper, use as chair

I doubt anyone would utilize the latter. :)</p>

<p>Anyways, has anyone bought or sold on Bruinwalk website directly?</p>
