This summer I noticed that almost an entire shelf on my bookshelf has been taken over by old textbooks. Now i'm not sure if it was the fact that I was super excited to be in college or that I loved my classes, but for some reason I felt like it was necessary to keep all of my fashion and accounting textbooks {minus one or two where I was able to rent them for cheaper}. I expected to be referencing them a lot and flipping back through my fashion books because some of them are just so nice to look at! While that didn't happen with most of my books, I still kept hoarding them on my bookshelf.
Fast forward two more years of school and I've reached the point where I can't wait to sell my books back at the end of the trimester to get a little bit of money back into my pocket. Yet for some reason all those freshman year books still remained sitting on the bookshelf. I'm not sure why I didn't do it sooner, but this summer I decided that it was time to get rid of them and hopefully make a little cash in the process.
I put off the task for a few days because I figured the process would be quite annoying. I figured that I would have to put each ISBN I'm separately on various different websites in order to find who would give me the most money, basically I expected it to take more time than it should. That's why I am so happy that I found BookFinder. They made the process so easy- all I had to do was enter all of the ISBN numbers of the books I was looking to sell on a single screen, then the system compared the prices that were offered from different textbook resellers such as Amazon, Chegg, and AbeBooks. This way I could compare all prices on a single webpage. I also found it helpful that the website told you whether the company was offering you cash or a gift card for your books, although Amazon was the only one that gave gift cards.
