I have college textbooks that the university made new editions of. The prices I paid are rediculouse, and they want to give me crap for them back. I've been to a few online book trader websites, but which ones are the BeST?
Thanks!
PS: We're getting screwed with book prices! Let's change it!

Yea thats true its a complete rip off. One of my books was like $200+ and the class sucked anyways.
Id say your best bet would be through amazon or ebay - since i know alot of my college friends use these sites to buy their books cheaper. I dont really know of a buy back service that will actually give u a good deal, most likely you have to use an online merchant such as E-bay

Try ebay. Start them at a little lower then the price you want and you could probably get a good price for them, espically if they are in good condition. My aunt sold alot of my cousins university books on ebay and got alot of money for them.

I have the same problem. I started selling my books in Half.com, they are pretty good. I tried to sell a book on Amazon but they charge you commission whereas 1/2.com doesn't. Remember that you get your money at the end of the month, not right away. But it stills works good.

I don't know how my books are more expensive then my classes sometimes. I would sell them to students in the hallway for a few bucks cheaper, try during peak registration time.

well if you dont like Ebay or places like that, you could try other websites or selling to a classmate? But, usually college never give you enough money back for what you paid for them, which i think is really unfair. good luck!

try selling your books to another student or on craigslist.com. the other student gets a great deal because they will still pay less than the used book price at the bookstore and you will get more than bookbuy back prices.

I think Amazon would be your best bet. I've sold mine there for years! By the way, you might want to do spell check with that word: ridiculous.
