£800 cost new?...
if you get one quarter of that you'll be lucky.

I used to work for a company in the states ( Follett ) that bought / sold used textbooks.. it's a wicked market.

Has she tried her uni school's library? Our library used to let you put up small ads for used textbooks.

Unless she did medicine or something like that many of the core books will be specific to her courses reading lists and therefore at greater demand from those students. I sold a number of text books that way at a good price.

Is she using her degree as a career? If she is she might not want to seel all of them. Amazing how many of my text books I use still!

Why not e-mail the book list back to the First Year tutor from her former course so they can put the list up on a "Freshers" notice board.
