has anyone used www.textbookexchange.com.au? was it good?
and would you suggest that or cash4books or putting ads up yourself?

I bought two of my textbk throught there and it saved me around $100....

If I were you, I would just go to your second hand textbook shop at your University and sell it to them.

yeah our 2nd hand bookshop has turned into cash4books. not bad, but they only give 30% of the original price.

so what happens. when you are interested in a book you click the link and e mail them (without knowing their address). but they will know your address? and then when they reply you know their address? and you organise when and where to meet?

Well put a notice up on a wall/notice board. You would get more money that way anyway, because when you give the book to the secondhand bookstore, they have to make some profit too.

yeah basically send a message to them and they'll reply....you can either meet up or have them post it to you through COD, which is what I did....even though you have to pay for the postage its still a bargain! plus I can pretend I bought it new and sell it to people for the same price I bought it LOL!
