What should I charge for two used textbooks (description)?

THe first one originally cost me $80 and I have never opened it once so it is like brand new. The second one originally cost me $74 and has some highlights in the first few pages and a bit of wear. I have no idea how much people would charge for that, and someone is asking to buy them from me.

Answer #1

I’d say 50-60 for the first one and like 40-45 for the second one. But that’s just how much I would pay lol, and I’m cheap :P so don’t listen to me.

Answer #2

Ooo, thank you :P saved me from undercharging, I was thinking 20’s and 30’s :P because I have no idea.

Answer #3

Maybe you can check eBay and see if you can find them on there too, so you know you’re in the ball park.

Answer #4

At least 50 for both textbooks cost a lot and can be sold for a lot.

Answer #5

It does not matter how much you paid for it. What matters is how much other people are selling theirs for. Go online and see what the price is, then sell it for a couple of dollars cheaper. I would be extremely surprised if you managed to get $50 for used textbooks. They usually halve in price once they are no longer new.
