<p>See if you can find a way to sell directly to other students at your school. I've found facebook groups that are there for that purpose, and awhile ago someone set up BU</a> books for Baylor students to directly sell their books to each other. It works out for both parties, as they can buy books cheap, and you get more money than by selling the books back to school! If there aren't any groups or websites set up, try starting one yourself, or finding someone else who is willing to start one. I'm sure lots of students on your campus would jump on the ball. Or at least find a friend who is taking the course next semester and sell the book to them.</p>
<p>thanks for all the help!
now i'm wondering where the hell to find post office or find boxes..</p>
<p>If you go to a Post Office, ask for "Priority Mail" boxes. They're free and come in different sizes. There is a subset of "Priority Mail" boxes that are marked "Flat Rate". These boxes can be shipped for a standard amount of $8.10 anywhere in the country, no matter how heavy. Good for textbooks.</p>
<p>Or, if you mail in a regular box, ask the Post office for the "book rate". There's a separate, lower rate you pay if sending textbooks, etc.
This method is much slower, but cheap. D did this but had to wait awhile when she returned a couple of books this way.</p>
