I've accumulated quite a few, over 20, American college level textbooks on varying topics. I know that I could mail them all the way back to the U.S., slighly expensive postal fees, and get some money for them, but I wanted to know if anyone knows of a more local or cost effecient way of selling off college level textbooks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Send them back home.

College textbooks in Korea are International versions, which mean they cost like 30,000w a book.

Also, most Universities use the latest editions so if your books are a year or 2 old, most likely a newer edition is out that is being used.

Furthermore, unless you know of a University in Korea that has a class that requires your exact textbook, you won't have much luck finding a buyer.

I might buy some off of you if they are related to international business/trade/commerce marketing/relations..basically all things international.

What subject areas are these books in?

List your books, or the subject.

I'll take them off your hands as long as they aren't business/economic/accounting related.

Burn them, it would send out a strong message about the quality of American graduates, especially the ones you find in Korea

[dongjak]

If they are international relations/sociology/research methods/anthropology based, i might be interested in them. Make a list!

Try selling them at a used book shop.
