Tips for selling textbooks
- Put the ISBN, edition number and subject in the listing title or description — students search by ISBN.
- State clearly whether an access code is included and unused, or not included.
- Describe highlighting, notes and water damage honestly, and photograph a sample page.
- Offer local pickup near campus to save students shipping costs at the start of term.
- List early, before terms start, when demand for course books is highest.
Start a textbook marketplace
