I have a bunch of text books I need to sell but I don't know where to sell them, I know there is ebay and amazon, and all those places. But, where can I place the listing that I can get the most for what they are worth?

How about craigslist?

Oh good idea, I think I might try that. I can't believe I never thought of that. Any other places that might be possibilities? Thanks

I got top dollar for my old textbooks on ebay and they sold immediately. Especially this time of year when school is just starting. Make sure to list them with the "Buy it now" option because that is what made mine sell.

If your bookstore will buy them back, sell them there. Then you don't have to hassle with selling them on ebay.

Oh ok I didn't think they would sell on ebay, I'm going to try that first with craigslist, thanks

Do a search of the titles you have to sell so you can see what's happening with them (if any). Also if you know anybody that sells on ebay on a regular basis they might be able to search back 60 days worth of ending listings to see the history of those same titles.
