    Put them up on campus, it'll probably be easier than dealing with shipping and all that. Sometime the teachers that you had before will let you put the books up in their class and that way they will sell faster, some would even let me walk into the classroom and ask and they would sell right on the spot too.

    I got a giant stack of books on my shelf. Campus bookstore buys them back but doesn't pay much. Cheapbooks.com advertises on tv all the time but I never used them. I just keep my books.

    ha, you need to reference them for your profession. in school i learned all theory and had to learn practical application on the job. so my books dont get much mileage these days.

    Actually the book I use the most isn't a book I used in college at all. That would be the Machinery's Handbook...

    I kept the majority of my college books, but did sell a few.

    Websites aimed at purely buying used textbooks are in it for profit and will rip you off.

    I sold mine on ebay and made almost all of my money back.

    Half.com is where it's at. Although Craigslist is a better option or listing up on the bulletins at school.

    I'd hold on to them, but if you don't want to, try ebay or amazon like everyone else said.

    This.

    Most books aren't worth keeping b/c of trustworthy internet! lol.

    In my studies, I've found online more helpful than any text.
