Old ICT books

I went to university in 2000 (until 2003). I still have all the books I bought as part of my studies (some were very expensive i.e. £100+).

Is it worthwhile trying to sell them online e.g. on Ebay? They are IT books and IT changes at a very fast rate. I certainly wouldn't buy them (because they are out of date).

What options do I have? Shall I destroy them?

  • I would have a look on Amazon and see what second hand ones go for on there.

    But they might be worth more if you burn them and use them to heat your house ...

    They might be worth some money, however the problem would be finding someone who would actually buy them. I can't see the market demand for 2nd hand ICT books written in 2000-03 to be that great.

    Also look on eBay for asking/sold prices.
