Is there a website specifically for selling your old books?

    Amazon and ebay are good starts.

    If you've got facebook, try and find groups for freshers/students of your course and leave a post saying which books you have for sale on there. If you're a continuing student there may be some way you can sell them through your department, or a notice board you can leave a message.

    Failing that, a second hand bookshop may be interested.

    Try these two:

    http://www.abebooks.com/docs/Sell/
    http://www.greenmetropolis.com/

    Also look out for local book fairs - you can rent a space at some of them as a one-off if you've got a good number of books to offload.

    I managed to sell some of my books to my college library at uni and also at Waterstones. This might just be in Durham though.

    (Waterstones had a sign up and got sent an email about college)

    Not quite what you want but hope it helps.
