Went to sell two books back that I paid $200

They wouldn't buy one.....and the other book only
wanted to give me $10 (hardback even)!

Anyone steel them online? If yes.... what best place to
do so? Tired of getting screwed

I would recommend buying them online to begin with, at half.com or
something.  Doesn't always  help - not all books are available there -
but for some books, it's great.  I paid $30 for a book that cost $100
new.

As far as selling them, try half.com or abebooks or ebay or
something.  Maybe it'll help.

OK but is half.com reputable?  I've never sold anything
online

Half.com is fine. It's an ebay company.

Sorry, it's still no guarantee.  I bought a printer off of Half.com,
billed as brand new.  I got it and the box was opened, the stuff was
loosely thrown inside the box, and mostly empty ink cartridges were
still in the printer.  I filed a complaint, the seller lied and disputed
my claim, and Ebay's response was basically "Sorry, nothing we can do,
it's a case of he said/she said."

It may not be a fly-by-night company, but it's still buyer beware.
