Best place to sell used Physics text books?
Its the right time of year, as now all the students are going back to uni and need new books 
I know I could eBay them, but is that the best way?
Do Waterstones / Blackwells buy them off you at decent prices?
How about Amazon, is that worth trying to get into to sell them using their marketplace?
Any suggestions welcome, apart from telling me to burn them or any other funny stuff

Why do you have physics books? You should be able to derive everything from first principles! 
I seem to remember Waterstones used to buy second hand books or if you are local to a university some do a 2nd hand book scheme, failing that then Amazon as you say....

Blackwells buy them for half of RRP, but I think possibly only if you bought them from them.
If you know anyone with access to a noticeboard in a uni you could sell them that way, if you're near Sheffield I could possibly help you out (for a very reasonably fee) but I'm in Engineering.
Failing that I'd stick em on Amazon if I were you, they'll sell eventually if they're the cheapest on there. What are the fees likes on books?
