I recently rediscovered that Amazon lists used books on the same page as new ones.  I don't know how this ever slipped off my radar, but buying a used book is a really smart thing to do:

• Usually 50%-95% cheaper than a new copy
• Saves resources by recycling a book rather than making you a new one
• Encourages people who are done with books to pass them on to others who really value that book rather than just letting it sit around unused or gifting it to somebody who doesn't really care about it (but will take it because it's free).  In other words, your books will generally get better utilization if you find a buyer for them instead of just giving them away

So I haven't bothered to sell my old books yet (not worth the time to package/ship them) but I will try to buy used whenever possible.
