Question about Selling Used Books

I have a lot of used books. Does anyone know of any websites that you can sell them on? I have used Amazon.com in the past but I was just curious to know if anything else was out there. I still haven't been able to find a job so I am now sorting out my closet. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I take mine to our local 2nd hand bookstore, I receive either cash or credit. If I take the book credit I get more that if I take cash. I find it a great way to keep my book budget down. I find that easier than having to post the books after selling them on a website.

Try cash4books.net. I sold 6 books for about $20 a few weeks ago. They pay best for newer hardbacks, particularly nonfiction.

I sold several textbooks in the past using half.com. I don't remember how many I sold, but I made over $600. They were very easy to use.

I sell mine on kijiji or craigslist. Its free to use and a lot of people have access to it!

I have used abebooks.com to buy used books. I haven't sold books online so I don't know how it works. Abe Books is a good company.

They will usually give you a suggested price, they will also give you want the minimum and maximum amount the book is listed for in each of the categories, such as New, Like New, etc. and also what the most recent ones that sold, how much they sold for, so you can guage where you want to price yours at.
