How cheap should I sell my textbooks?


cheap textbook
♥ Clarissa ♥ asked:


I have a ton of textbooks from previous semesters, which I bought new and are in great condition. The bookstore sells used books with a 25% discount from the original price, so I was thinking selling mine with a 30% off. Do you think that is ok? Or should I go down to 35% or 40%? I’m making fliers, so I need a price.

Thanks in advance!

    I would say 30% certainly gives people initiative. So, sell the books with connotation at 35% and the clean ones at 30%. I don’t think you should go so entirely low, but definitely low; college kids are poor and they won’t know if you planned to sell them down to 40% unless you tell them. corruptdoll

    Sell it on chegg.com using coupancode CC116176 and get almost as much as you paid for the book Adidis

    I always recommend going with the market average. For instance, go to Uloop and see what other books are being listed at. Then price your just a little below that. This will give the most attention to your books and allow you to sell them as soon as possible! William G
