Where is a good place to sell a used college textbook?

My daughter barely used the textbook it is new condition, if we sell it to the college bookstore they will only give us about half of the purchase price. I would like more than that for it. I know I will probably not get what I paid for it but would like to get the majority of it.

This is from a dual credit high school/ college course and we don't know anyone else taking the course soon.Where is a good place to sell a used college textbook?
There are a couple of options.



-If there is an independent textbook store around, they might give you more.



-Some universities have a textbook swap or sale program - see if yours does this.



-You could put up a notice on campus to see if someone taking the course in the fall would like to buy the book



-You could post it on ebay, amazon, or someplace like that.

Craigslist or put fliers around your school, Student bookstore, etc.
Try http://www.bigwords.com They are a textbook search engine that searches all the online retailers and rental sites to find you cheap prices but you can also use them in reverse to search for resellers that want to buy your books.

I sell all of my text books on amazon, but it is unlikely that you will recover more than half of your costs. Here is how to do it:



1.) Type your ISBN number into a search engine like Google first. You will find several online book sellers who already have copies of your book posted. I recommend Amazon, because I prefer the seller support they offer. With an ISBN number Amazon will show you how much the book is selling new and used. If if is a popular book, you can expect to get the median price for yours. If it is not a popular book, expect to charge less than the cheapest few books available. The fact that it is in excellent condition might beat out a few poor copies, but you need to remember that people go there to get a bargain. They'll by a book without a covers if that means saving a few bucks.



2.) Go to your school bookstore, local independent stores etc to see how much they will give you. Even if they give you slightly less than an online dealer, take it if it's close. Selling online adds additional costs (commissions, shipping fees, etc.)



3.) Since it is close to the beginning of the semester, try to post a flier first, but save your money and post it primarily near the classrooms, or in the departments associated with your book.



Unfortunately, the likelihood that you can hope to get back much more than your bookstore is offering are slim. 50% of the purchase price for a used book is pretty good. Our bookstore usually only returns about 11 - 30 %
