Many college bookstores allow students to sell their books back to the stores. These used bookstores pay around 50% of the original price to the student for these used books. The price could vary though, depending on the book. The used book store market follows a fairly complicated business process. Once a student sells the book back to a college bookstore, it is then re-sold to a national used book company. The same book is then sold to another college bookstore, at the end of which the book is available at a price that could be around 75% of the new book price. During every step of the process, a margin is applied by each of the respective parties to gain profit. This typical business cycle allows everyone in the chain to make money and be in the business. Though the sellers have margins during every step of the process, used books are still quite a bargain when compared to the price range of new books.

Sometimes students sell their books to their juniors. They may advertise the sale of books through posters around the campus or just by passing information by word of mouth. Large universities have dedicated online resources for the same purpose. One can find hundreds of online resources, which deal with used books. Most of these online used bookstores operate on a global scale. One can find used textbooks even on auction websites. One can visit these web sites and search for specific titles from the thousands of books enlisted on them. You can also bid for your book at auction web sites. There are many online directories also which allow you to find a specific used book seller. Used book stores can be found in most of the cities. You can find out from your friends about their location, especially if you are entering college. You can check out with your college book store and find out whether they deal with used textbooks.
