If the recouping part of the cost of the book is important, why not borrow books from the library when you can?
I realize that all people are not fortunate enough to have this option and that all books are not available immediately and some are not available at all.
I am fortunate in that I can get the majority of books I want to read in a reasonable time frame from my library. And there has always been many selections available that I can enjoy reading while I wait if wait I must.
I can't sell them or keep them, but if you want to sell them you don't want to keep them anyway.
Getting most of my books for nothing more than the tax dollars I have already paid, is a much better deal financially than any buy/trade transaction I could make and for me very easy and painless.
No bus fare, no postage, no overdue fines, no carrying a box of books to the store and having half of them rejected because they already have copies in stock.
Bookwise I have never had it so good.
