I'd sell them on Amazon - surely there's more money to be made on there.

There is a Blackwells at Sheffield Hallam City Campus too. Avoid Amazon. They charge a fortune to sell things. Try eBay. Or if they are books for specific courses try the notice boards in the relevant university buildings.

Definitely Amazon - I sell a lot of our books on Amazon including academic, fiction, true crime - its easy to set up an account and you know in advance exactly how much you'll get once amazon take their 'cut'. But watch out if the books are heavy - make sure the price you offer them for covers the true cost of postage as Amazon charge a standard P&P from which they take their 'cut' - how some people can sell books for a penny and make a profit is beyond me.

Also if you know anyone at Hallam you could put it on their intranet market place. You can sell books in specific subject areas. :thumbsup:
