Making a Little Extra Money Selling Your College Textbooks Is Easier Than You Thought

Being a college student means buying overpriced textbooks for a class that you might open once the entire semester.

This can be frustrating because you end up paying all this money for books you never use. But there is some good news. There are websites that will pay you for those unused books and also pay for the shipping for you to get it to these companies. So if you have been trying to figure out what to do with all your books, here are a few companies you can sell them to.

Bookscouter – This site is cool because they compare the price of your book against 38 other places to make sure you get the most money for your books.

Firstclassbooks – You not only can sell those textbooks you never used, but you can also sell back your graphing calculator.

Barnesandnoble – Believe it or not, Barnes and Noble actually sells used textbooks. They do have a $10 minimum in order to buy back your books but let’s be real; those books were not cheap, to begin with.

Textbookrecycling – The cool thing about this company is that they not only buy back textbooks, but they also take instructor’s editions. So if you had to buy a required book directly from your teacher, do not worry. You actually can sell it.

Decluttr – Not only will this company buy back your textbooks but also your old CDs, video games, and cell phones. So if you are trying to get rid of some things around your house this site is great for that.

Amazon – Of course, Amazon is a place most of us have probably bought our books from. So why not sell them on there as well?
