Does the university bookstore overcharge you? Do you let the bookstore gouge you twice per year on textbook sales and textbook buy back? One semester, an email about textbook buyback online spurred me to buy textbooks online at 75% of university bookstore cost. I Googled "sell textbooks" to compare textbook prices at different book buy back websites. I was shocked at how hard the university bookstore was screwing me on college textbooks. Also, the variation in used textbook prices blew me away. So I reviewed the best textbook buyback site with the best textbook prices.

Breakdown:
Books sell for less than half book value on the unworthies. Amazon offered the highest prices and free shipping. Runner-up Textbookwheel.com, free shipping code: SHINY, offered buybacks for textbooks receiving no offers from any other site. When you sell books next semester, bypass your university bookstore and buy and sell used textbooks online. Half my used college textbooks were liberal arts paperback textbooks to textbooks.com; the other half were engineering, math, science textbooks to textbookwheel.com. Result: I paid 325$ for cheap books this semester, and sold them back for 280$, as opposed to spending 400$+ and getting between 200$ and 300$ back at the university bookstore. Books cost me 45$ for the semester, as opposed to >200$. One More Tip: sometimes it's best to sell on Amazon directly to another buyer, like a classified. If you're impatient, want to sell today and save on shipping, just sell them to Amazon.com.

Books sold: industrial engineering, english, biology, math, chemistry, anthropology, japanese, sociology, mechanical engineering, law books, psychology books, accounting books, electrical engineering, spanish, statistics, calculus, physics, chinese, italian, french, economics, and thermodynamics.

My experience is augmented by testimonials of friend, family and site visitors who buy college textbooks online and sell college textbooks online.
