Good place to sell used tech books?

I have various certification, computer, tech, etc books that I no longer need or want. I would love to be able to sell them. I can put them on EBAY but the problem is that it doesn't usually sell - or sell for more than a few dollars - unless it's a popular book. I haven't had much success selling books on EBAY. Does anyone have any good site(s) that will buy back these books and give a fair money return?

    Just to clarify... I would love to use a site similar to a college buy back site that buys used text books. You would enter an ISBN or title and it gives you how much they are willing to buy it for.

    Well of course. But I was hoping for something a little different. Like ebay, books usually don't sell on those unless it's popular.

    won't sell if you don't list it. You could try until you have sold it ;)

    Then try eb@y. I won't buy anything from there, nor would I sell anything. Have you tried Google? Seems like others have already suggested good places to sell books, yet you seem to have something else in mind.

    At least at this site, you have an audience of THOUSANDS who have a similar interest as yourself and may indeed be looking for what you have.
    Otherwise, Amazon would have been my suggestion. icon_confused.gif
