Where to Sell College Books in 2023

Amazon and Chegg used to buy used textbooks and other books, but neither offers this option any longer. Instead, Chegg sends you to another brand to sell your books, and Amazon only allows you to sell books as an Amazon seller, which takes much more work and incurs many fees.

Is this something you face at the end of each semester?

“I feel really bad just throwing my textbooks away knowing they could help someone, but in most of them there is at least a bit of writing for example I highlighted topics that were in the advanced information for science and sometimes I ticked off practice questions that I did. Is there any place that accepts books like this or do they have to be super new to be sold?”

For those asking “How much do college textbooks cost?” and “Why are textbooks so expensive?” we have the following shocking statistics. According to the data from College Board, college textbooks and materials cost more than $1,200 per year. That’s a lot of cash for books you’ll never use after you finish that class!

With textbooks costing an average of $105.37 each, it’s no wonder why college students would rather get a lower grade in a class than shovel over hundreds of dollars every school year. The price of textbooks has mimicked the rise in tuition over the past couple of decades. Between 1977 and 2015, textbook costs have risen about 1,041%.

Today, we’ve decided to look closer at how the textbook industry works and try to understand why textbook costs are so high and how they influence student life and decisions. And more importantly, we wanted to show how to leverage more affordable options like buying used books or renting textbooks (of course, with the discontinuation of Amazon rent textbooks program, many students will have to adapt and look for other rental alternatives).
