As the first semester after the summer gets closer more news articles are covering the plight of the student and what they’re doing to avoid the high textbook cost.
Even if textbooks are not your specialty, it couldn’t hurt if you have a good source of textbooks that you can resell for less than the campus bookstore.
BookRouter, a central place to manage a number of book listing services (like AbeBooks, Amazon, Alibris, etc) has a good list of available places to list your inventory.
Even if you’re not interested in using BookRouter’s services, you can see use their list as a good reference point and comparison list for the available marketplaces out there.
