Visit websites like amazon.com and half.com to find textbooks to buy. You can also sell the textbooks you own on these sites after creating a seller account. There are other sites dedicated solely to the buying and selling of textbooks, including websites like ecampus.com and swapbooks.com. Usually, you can find textbooks for a lot less money online than you can find at college book stores.

Post fliers on or near college campuses indicating that you are interested in buying used textbooks, as well as selling them. Make sure that before you put any fliers up on a college campus that you check with their Student Life office to get the college's approval.
