So, here are four websites which can help you jump on to the bandwagon (and also help save some trees in the process).
2. BookScouter
BookScouter is a pretty neat book reselling service. It works like a meta-search engine by comparing prices from over 40 book-buying websites so that you can quickly find the site that is paying the most for buying back your books. All you need to give to the search field is an ISBN number. You don’t even need to register on the site. The sale is conducted on the vendor site. The site lists the preferred vendors and has a rating system which you can check out when you are selling your old and used books.
3. Half.eBay.com
Half.eBay.com is an eBay company that’s all about getting those good old bargains on books, movies, music, and games. You can buy, rent, and sell your books here. With eBay’s reputation behind it, you can be sure that the transaction is going to be watertight. Presently the site is for U.S. only and you need to register (free) for a user account. If you have an eBay account, you can use it to log-in and become a seller. Payments are made by eBay as direct deposits to your checking account on the site.
4. Big Words
Big Words is a price comparison search engine. Use the ‘book bag’ to list all books you want to sell (or buy) and start the price comparison. The site searches all the best stores used textbooks and then gives you a list of resellers to choose from. Depending on the price listed, you can sell the book to any of the purchasers. You are then redirected to the purchaser’s homepage for the transaction. You can alternatively list your book for sale with a few more companies. This is a slightly longer process from offer to payment but you can get a higher price. The best think for a student is the options available for him to earn back a few dollars by selling his used textbooks. Of course, he can choose to donate them for free also.
