You first need to make sure that the exact same edition of the textbook will be used. A simple email to the professor teaching the course should provide you with an answer to the question. Next, either hang up a few flyer announcing that you have a textbook for sale, PRICE CHEAPER THAN BOOKSTORE.

Many professors will annoucne to the class that there is someone wanting to sell a texbook. You can also find out what classroom the class will be in a write your announcement on the chalkboard with your email and phone number.

Its better to do it this way because you won’t have to deal with the hassle of amazon. Plus, you will get more immediate results. I don’t know how many textbooks I sold this way. Find out how much the book will sell for (used) at the bookstore and sell it for at least $10 less.

I forgot to mention that in your flyers, tell them how much the bookstore would have charged for the book.

Example;

FOR SALE:

World Civilization, 9th edition Authors: Smith & Morrison

Textbook for HI 101, Fall 2007

Bookstore price: $90

My price: $75

Good condition,

(include contact info and use some loud colors)

If you hang the flyers in the right place, you’ll get an interest in it immediately.
