What to do with old uni text books? (history/politics/american studies)

[schnapps]

Hi

I'm having a huuuuuge clear-out due to moving house. I'm sure I'm actually throwing more stuff out than actually packing!!

Anyway, I've got some uni text books from about 4 years ago, and it seems wasteful to take them to the tip. I'm moving very soon soon though and haven't got the energy to advertise them to sell on ebay or at the local uni, don't think a charity shop would want them. Any good ideas for anywhere I could donate them to which would include me simply dropping them off?

Oxfam have shops that just sell second hand books now -if you were to drop them at your local branch they would probably pass them on to one of their book shops if they felt they were specialist interest.

Uni library?

I sold loads of my old text books on Amazon for pretty good prices. Just input the ISDN number and it gets the details and a pic for you. Then add comments about the condition. Much easier than selling on ebay, and there is even just a standard postage cost.

If they're current editions and key texts for the course, then uni library would be happy to have them as a donation. Mine would.
So would charity shop, especially if it's in the university town, but make sure they know they're current so they can price them appropriately.

Thanks for the suggestions eveyone

Current text books do well on Ebay as well as amazon
