Collect all of your old books around your home. Go to garage sales and second-hand stores to purchase used books. Never spend more than 50 cents per book. Make sure they are in good condition and try to look for popular titles. Additionally, try to find text books; some sell for nothing, but others can really make a good profit.

Create an account with Half.com and then click "Sell My stuff." You will see the "Multiple Item Listing" tab in the middle of the page. Take all of your books and list them using Half.com's Multiple Item Listing tool. You will be asked for the 10-digit ISBN number of each book, which is usually on the back cover. Insert that and a brief description of the book, along with its condition.

Choose a listing price for each book listed. I have found that listing it at the lowest price per category helps move the item quicker. However, if you want it to sell faster, list it as the lowest price on the page. The multiple listing format will tell you the price range for your category and the book as a whole.

When sold, ship all books media mail, which is the cheapest shipping. Wrap them in paper bags very tightly or ship in a sturdy shipping envelope.

Tips & Warnings
Check Cash4books.net to sell your books immediately. Enter the ISBN numbers and the website will tell you if they will buy your book and for what price. You print off a shipping label and the site covers shipping.
Add delivery confirmation to your bigger sale items. Some online buyers may try to get a refund, even if they received the book. The delivery confirmation will prove if they received it or not.
