SELLING
SELLING BOOKS BACK TO THE BOOKSTORE
· Most students do this because of convenience
· The bookstore will not give you very much for selling books back to them
· And they sell the same books for a lot of money
SELLING BOOKS TO FRIENDS
· BEST WAY & MOST CONVENIENT is to eliminate bookstore & sell directly to a friend
· ENGINEERING BOOKS: Bookstore will give you about 43% of the same book’s used worth
· EXAMPLE: - Used Selling Price: $104 - Amount Received when selling back: $45
· SELL PRICE: Halfway between Used Selling & Amount Received = $73
SELLING BOOKS OTHER WAYS
· NEED ISBN # on back cover – EXAMPLE 0-13-221500-4 74
