Textbooks are expensive and often are not needed after the class is over. Here are some simple tips on getting the mont money from selling back your used textbooks online.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Textbooks
• Internet Access
• Mailing supplies

1. Start With Quality:
   
   When you purchase your textbooks for your classes, get the most recent edition, in the best condition you can afford.

2. Maintain Quality:
   
   Keep your textbook in the best condition possible. Handle it with care. No writing, highlighting, folding pages, , broken bindings, or tears. This will ensure the best resale value. You want to sel it as "gently used, like new condition". Also keep any additional items such as CDs, DVDs or workbooks in good condition. Your complete book will sell faster and at higher prices than those missing the extras.

3. Don't Delay:
   
   Sell your textbooks as quickly as possible once you are sure you are finished with them. When new editions are published, the value of previous editions decreases dramatically.

4. Shop Around to Sell:
   
   Check out a few selling sites to see which ones are selling your book, how much it is selling for, and how much it will cost you to sell it. Locate your best deal and sell it.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to keep your books in good condition.
