What to do with a load of uni books?

[Garee]

What I did was buy most of the books listed here on StackOverflow. You can find pretty much the same material in those books and they are usually much, much better.

You could even offer to sell them to the library...

They'd rather buy second hand good condition books that brand new books I'm sure.

See if you can send an e-mail round first / second year students. They'll happily take them off you if you give them a good price

I have a load of computer animation ones I never look at now, been thinking the same thing. Perhaps I'll try the members market here.

Flog them to first years TBH.

They sound relevant to my degree, but we won't find out the exact recommended second year books until September .

I wish I hadn't bought them now honestly, never really needed them. The lecturers at my uni probably only recommended them because they were the ones who wrote them.

Ditto. Each of our six modules was allowed to tell us to buy one book (they could recommend you borrow / get second hand any more if they wanted, but only tell you to buy the one)... so as a fresh faced first year I bought the six.
Three I haven't opened, two have been alright and one completely useless!

Sell sell sell.

Try ebay ''buy it now'' or local ads. Books easily sell.

 

[Maccy]

You can sell them in the MM on here

If you fancy donating, ill happily pay the postage and some

Amazon Marketplace is good for them. ot an ad on a oticeboard in your dept.

Otherwise, at uni, I ran the second hand bookshop for the engineering/engineering sciences courses. It worked well.

Stick them on the Members Market.

I'm starting Computer Science in September so I may be interested.

I am still interested.... *points to post count*

MM and eBay them.

 

[Cupra]

ebaying big books often costs more to post than the book is worth as you can not add postage to books (or you never used to be able too)
