Thanks! I had no idea Amazon did this.

The FAQ says they buy textbooks, but the page shows recent non-textbook books I've purchased as items I could "get up to $10.98". Have you sold books before? I usually sell my books to my local Half Price Books, but they pay a pittance.

I sold 50 or so of my books through Amazon when I moved. I usually got a great price through the trade-in program, which is nice because you get paid as soon as they receive the book from you, but if I didn't think the trade-in price was high enough, I just sold it through the Amazon seller program. This is a service where you ship your books to them, name the price you're willing to sell each one for, they warehouse them for you, and when someone buys one they ship it out and cut you a check. Pretty great.

Thanks for the Amazon Seller suggestion. I didn't know about that either. <:)

Given the insulting price offered by Half Price, I just started giving all my books to my local public library. They mostly auction them to raise money.

I may check out the Amazon Trade In option mentioned upthread.
