How do I resell textbooks I ordered online when they are each illegal to sell? (Teacher's and Asian Editions)

Question

I bought a book on ebay that says it's illegal to resell because it turned out to be the teacher's edition even though I don't see any answers in there. The other book I bought at an online book store and when I got it it was the Asian edition, it said it was illegal to import to the U.S. I want to resell these books after the semester is over! What should I do?

Thanks guys.

It says on the back of the textbook and on the inside page. Will the buyers even care?

Answer 1

Sell them on EBay. I watched one auction for a used copy of the International Edition of a book, which went up to $71. That was about half the cost of a new U.S. Edition - BUT $40 DOLLARS MORE THAN I PAID FOR A NEW INTERNATIONAL EDITION.

P.S. Its not illegal to sell international editions in the U.S. but it would violate a bookstore's contract with the publisher. So, who cares?

Answer 2

<>Since I know of no book that is illegal to sell in the US, sell it anywhere you want. It sounds like the ebay ads were a scam.

Answer 3

I had a similar problem. My cousin knows this guy and he got me some good stuff. All I had to do was fix a little problem for him. Sure, assassinations are illegal, but I want the money so I'll do it anyway...

--That's about the essence of your argument isn't it? "This is illegal but I want some money so I'm going to do it anyway."

Aye carumba!
