www.amazon.com
You set the price and are responsible for shippping. I sold all my college textbooks on Amazon and got a lot more than I ever did selling them back to the book store. You can see the prices other people set and choose to match or lower your price. good luck!

I've sold and bought used books over Amazon. The prices are set ahead of time (unlike eBay's auction-model), but the procedure from both sides is easy enough. At thgis point, I'm sure other online booksellers have joined the bandwagon.

Someone already said Amazon, and I'd say the same thing, EXCEPT that they charge you a lot more fees than eBay. Also, I sold a Psychology textbook that weighed 4.68 lbs, but only got $3.49 for shipping because you can't set your own shipping fees! I ended up having to pay the rest of postage fees with my own cash. eBay kicks Amazon's @ss... except when you buy something and the seller screws you over. Haha. They could care less when that happens.

You might try www.abebooks.com . I buy a lot of books from them.
Sometimes used bookstores will trade 2 for 1 or 3 for 1.
If you cannot find a market for your books, women's shelters, homeless shelters, and disaster shelters are great places to donate them. If you love to read, you understand how a good book can help you escape life's worries.

There is a store called Half Price Books. They buy books and resell them. They have stores in several states, just look in the phone book, load your books up and drive there. They sell almost everything.

You might want to find 2nd hand bookstore in your area. Some will give you a good price for them, others won't. Another idea is a local bargain hunter newspaper. Take out an ad and set the price to what you want to get.

Amazon.com...
I have bought college textbooks several times for my kids and never had a problem. I believe it's just as easy to sell them there too!

In addition to the sites already mentioned (amazon, half, abebooks), you could also try biblio.com, alibris.com, and halfvalue.com.
I found these sites by searching for a used book on www.froogle.com
