I am trying to sell my textbooks because I paid like $1500 all together for my books but everywhere is only offering me like $200. My books are worth $1000. My books were never used what did everyone do with their textbooks? I left nursing because my dad passed away and I don't plan on going back to nursing school. I really need help what did everyone do with their books?

If you sell them on Amazon, you can get a better price than selling them on half.com or at your bookstore (who completely rips you off).

I used half.com to sell my books back. It may take a few weeks to months before they are sold but that is what I used. I got more money back than trying to sell them back through the school bookstore or through amazon. Best of luck! :)

Sell it to a student from your school. They'd be happy to get a discount on books

Books are certainly a major expense for Nursing programs. But they must be changed/updated on a frequent basis just to keep up with technology & advances in health care - so sell them ASAP before they become obsolete.
Sorry you had to drop your program. Good luck in your future endeavors.
