Used Textbooks Knowledge Base
Any suggestions on where to find used textbooks for high school subjects? I'm looking for used or inexpensive textbooks for my highschooler. I'm not looking for Christian-based books though. Basically something I can just open up, understand, and teach from. This is our first time homeschooling. We're used to the public school's way of teaching/learning, so we thought we'd stick to teaching that way since he's "comfortable" with it. Once we become more familiar (if that's possible...there's so much info out there) with everything that is involved with curriculums, we may change our approach. But for now, this will work for us.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of personally selling your used textbooks? I'm in university and I am debating on whether I should sell my used textbooks or not. Obviously, I could potentially earn back a good amount of the money that I spent buying the book. But still, is it worth it to sell? And, should I sell it personally (as in person-to-person) or sell it to the campus used bookstore? The Used Bookstore provides an official receipt but only offers 80% of the profit to the seller. If I sell it person-to-person, I figured I could sell it for at least 90% of its original price but no receipts =( Which brings me to my next point, how do you determine the price of the used textbook? I know that you can't sell it for more than the price you bought it for... but what is usually the percentage of the price that students sell them at? 90%? Will someone buy it that high? I mean, I just want a good fair amount of price on my used textbook if I'm going to sell them. Pls. help... I've never done this before...

By the way, I am 35 years old, and I start my first year of college in January.

About 5 or 7 of the books are math and science books that are 2 years old and have new editions.
