Most books auctions resources are very well structured, easy to use and grant students the opportunity to purchase their required college textbooks (both used and new) for only a fraction of their offline cost. With elaborate online textbook market research and a little luck, students can enter in possession of their desired textbooks for less than 40 percent of the original price!! This is where you come in. You can sell your books to these companies and receive almost immediate payment or sell them online yourself. There will always be students out there somewhere looking for your book. HOW DOES IT WORK? There are a few ways to go about selling your old/unused books online. I will inform you of the few good options and you can make up your own mind of what works best for you. Time vs. profit is the deciding factor when selling. Keep that in mind as you read on. Online Auctions: Online Auctions are a great way to get rid of old/unused books. You can usually make the best profit from the books that you are selling by auctioning them because the highest bidder always wins an auction. The problem with auctions is that they do not guarantee instant money for your books. Sometimes books do not sell in the time allotted for the auction and you have to relist them. Even though it may take some time, I recommend auctioning. Sell To Distributors: There are many companies out there that specialize in selling textbooks. They do not let you sell them to their audience of course, but will buy them from you right away. Obviously this company is going to turn around and sell your books for more than the purchase price. It may take them some time, but that's their problem. These companies will always buy your books right away and will send you a check as soon as they receive the books. This is the quick cash option. Classified Ads: These are a classic. Many people still sell books in their local town via classified ads. I say, sell via classifieds if you want, but do it online. You can usually get more for your books online because you are advertising it to a much larger audience. There are people out there looking for exactly the books that you have and will pay more than those who just happen upon them while reading the Sunday paper. Most places will let you list your books for free. You can even upload pictures. Listing a classified online makes more sense than listing offline in so many ways. Advantage There are always students in need of text-books. Many are in need of a book that you may have lying around. No matter how you choose to sell your book, it will sell and you will make money. If you sell your books in the way that I am recommending, you will always make more than what the college bookstore is offering! Disadvantage There are pretty big differences in the amount of money that you can make depending on how you choose to sell. Just remember, if you take the time to sell them yourself, you will make more money than if you were to sell them just to "get quick cash". Facts & Advice Never sell your books back to the college bookstore. They take advantage of broke students. The best times to sell books are at the beginning and end of semesters. If you want money asap, sell them to distributors. They will buy almost any textbook and pay you as soon as they receive them. If you are willing to spend the extra time and effort to auction your books, or sell them yourself, you will always make more money. Your book(s) for sale or auction will not always sell right away and sometimes you will have to list them more than once. NEVER, EVER list one book for sale more than once or in two separate places! If you were to list an book on an auction site and then make a classified ad to get more exposure and the book sells twice, you are in trouble, because you only have one book. You will get bad feedback and probably not be able to sell anything else.
