Selling used text books?
I have a couple nice school text books I'm looking to sell. My school hosts a book "buy back" at the end of semesters but only purchase on a "need" only basis. In other words, they only buy certain books they know will be required next semester. My trig books and computer books apparently weren't on the list because they are still next to my desk.
Either way I was wondering if any of you guys knew of a place I could get rid of these?

craigslist, especially if you live in a college town.
Textbooks are a huge rip off btw, anyone know if you can d/l textbooks to your kindle? Amazon could make a fast fortune on that, today.

more effective though is making fliers and taping them up in the hallways and on the main notice board.

I don't know about selling them where you are but if you want to save some money on textbooks you can use the previous edition for some classes like psychology or sociology for around ten bucks shipped sometimes. Then you don't have to worry about selling them.
