There are some great websites that allow you to trade books. See my profile for links. This allows you to get rid of a book you no longer want and get something you do want in return. Titletrader is awesome because you can trade books, dvd's and vhs tapes. So if you get rid of a book you may be able to get a dvd in exchange. Paperback swap is only for books. I have found that doing ebay or amazon is pricey cause you don't really get your money's worth and you have to pay fees etc. Used book stores will give you 1/4 the price of the original book usually in store credit. So again not much money's worth.

As mentioned previously, Amazon.com offers "used" books. For example, J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows" costs $19.24 when purchased new from Amazon.com. However, with a click of the "used and new button", 370 copies of this bestseller are available, starting at the cost of $5.23. I have purchased numerous used books this way and have found them to be in very good condition.

Check the local phonebook. Especially if you are in a larger city there are lots of used bookstores. And browsing is a great way to find a good deal on an interesting title.
Otherwise, eBay, http://www.abebooks.com/, http://www.alibris.com/, Amazon or bn.com.
If you are looking for text books, make sure to get the edition number for the one in the course before you order.

If you are not looking for a certain book (textbooks), you can always try craigslist, both for people needing to get rid of books, or post your own want ad.
come to think of it... I have about 25 books sitting in the corner that I need to clear out.

Also don't forget your public library.
