Is there a place (other than online) in NYC that will most likely allow one to sell back books?

Theres a fantastic second hand book shop in Montague St, Brooklyn that buys books - be warned tho' - it'd be hard to go in without buying more!!

e-bay would be your best bet to sell them.

Try yahoo classifieds, craigslist, or, depending where you are in NY, you could try the pennysaver.

Yer talkin' to the old bookworm here, frequenter of used bookstores.\n\nThere is very little cash market for used books unless you follow a sales route yourself. I've watched a pittance change hands for boxes of books and many turned away because of overstocks or lack of interest.\n\nI turn mine into these bookstores for credit that allows me half off of the price of books that I buy from the store.\n\nIf you're looking for a return on the price you paid for them, your best bet is to donate them to a church or charitable book or rummage sale. They'll provide you with a receipt that you can use against your taxes, and it will be based on price you paid for the book, not what it can be resold for. Just make sure they're a 401c3 charity.\n\nSelling them on your own is the next best bet. In bulk at estate sales, thousand dollar encyclopedia sets go for $1, so you are unlikely to make much selling them by the box.\n\nGarage sale, flea market, eBay. Highlight them separately, sell them one by one or sets of one author or one genre.\n\nOr -- just trade them in and use them as credit toward future books.\n\nGood luck!

Depends on what kind of books they are. If they are popular books you might find people on a budget looking for used books. If they are used as college texts (you'd be surprised what college students are required to read...) then you'll have students getting ready for the next semester or quarter.\n\nCraigslist is an alternate. There's also ebay. There are also book archiving sites. Bibliophi.org is one. Librarything is another although I don't know if they allow you to sell. There's also bookswap.com, which is trading, rather than selling books.\n\nGood luck.

Obviously, eBay. But there are groups on yahoo where you can sell things too in your area...

On ebay, or at used book stores.

You get an account with book wholesalers such as Ingram Book http://www.ingrambook.com/ They have a page specifically for book sellers like you with the instructions on how to order from them and get an account with them http://www.ingrambook.com/new/booksellers.asp\n\nI also suggest you attend the Book Expo America http://www.bookexpoamerica.com/App/homepage.cfm?appname=288&moduleid=42 which is a major and definitely one of the biggest trade shows ever. Next year it will be in New York, so start making plans to attend. I attended this year's expo in Washington DC and all the book publishers big and small are represented in the expo. This is the best place to create accounts and meet book publishers.\n\nAlso, get a copy of the book Writers Market for listings of book publishers. Contact each individual publishers and create an account with them. For example, Time Warner Books (Hatchett Group) has a page on their website for Bookseller Services including their catalogs and backlists http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/catalog/index.shtml\n\nThe trade magazine Publisher's Weekly website has a list of important industry links http://www.publishersweekly.com/industryResources.html from publishing associations to publishing industry. \nhttp://www.publishersweekly.com/industryResources.html

Try craigslist -\nhttp://www.craigslist.org/\n\nThat is a perfect place to look for stuff like this. I normally sell my unused stuff locally using craigslist.

Hi.\n\nI really recommend setting up a seller account at Amazon.com.  It's VERY easy to do and then you have a lot of control over the price your book gets.  By entering in the textbook ISBN, you'll also know if there's any current demand for your book (e.g. if there are a ton of texts at a low price, just donate the book; you probably won't get a decent buyer worth your effort).\n\nAlthough Amazon.com charges a commission, they also give you a shipping concession (amount varies, but generally $3-$5 per book).  If you ship media mail, you can generally make a little money on the shipping, too.  Besides, even though you pay Amazon a commission, you still generally come out ahead over the campus bookstores.\n\nBy the way, selling books on Amazon.com is exactly what services like textbook411 and cash4books do, too.  (You can also try half.com and bigwords.com.)\n\nI've sold textbooks on Amazon pretty quickly.  Generally, I have them only in my possession (after listing) for 3-5 days.  Depending on the time of year (summer is generally slow), I may have them longer, but it's okay.  Eventually they sell and I get much more than I would've otherwise.\n\nFinally, as a last resort, don't throw your books away.  You can donate and ship them for free where the texts will benefit third world countries and literacy programs.  Visit http://www.betterworldbooks.com/bigwordsmrs/ for more information.\n\nI highly recommend it!

you can actually sell used items, including books, on Amazon.com. Another place to sell used books online is Abebooks

If you mean where can you sell them, try a card shop.

yes but you'll get less for it. bookstores pay you based on it's condition but the difference is really quite insignificant. if you really want to get maximum dollar for it, try posting it on one of the books for sale boards around campus. you'll get more for it and whoever buys it will pay less than what the bookstore charges them.
