Default Local place to sell text books?

I've got a ton of books from my degree I thought i'd use for references for my graduate degree, but I just don't think I will anymore. I know some will be out of edition, etc. That is fine, but considering it's thousands of dollars that has gone into these i'd like some return.

I do know there is online ones, but if they don't want it or you get notthing for it they just keep it. So I won't do it online, local only. I just thought maybe some of you had experience with this, I don't mind keeping the books but they take up a lot of room and i'll be moving out at the end of this year and it'll be one less thing to deal with.

Thanks in advance.

google it, you'll find many sites that will give you an estimate, and all you have to do is ship it there, and they send you a check. It's not as easy as going to a book store, but when you're not living on a campus and going to college it's almost the same thing.

Half.com

Sold all my textbooks on there and made like 75% of what i spent back.

They pay for the cost of shipping as well.
