Wow...kinda surprised this wasn't a thing already. Way back in the late 90s we could do dual-enrollment at the local community college where I'm from in Appalachian Ohio, not exactly the most progressive place. And one could do full time both Junior and Senior years to graduate with an associates degree...HCPSS's program one has to commit early in 9th grade to get an associates and can only do full time in Senior year. Its strange Howard County's program isn't as good 25 years later.

Broad-brush thats likely true, but there can be exceptions. For example, if one has enough medical expenses that it makes sense to itemize, one might also be trying to get money any way they can, including by selling their old textbooks.

Can try https://www.secondstorybooks.com/selling-to-us.php too if you're willing to drive over to Rockville.

There is very little market for used books. There is one store in Columbia you can try: https://secondeditionbooks.com/trade-and-sell/.

If textbooks are the latest edition then sometimes a college bookstore will buy them. If not then they are worthless, no one will pay for them.

If you're patient then listing them on ebay or as a third-party Amazon seller will probably get you slightly more money but thats only if it sells at all and you'll have to deal with the seller account stuff and shipping.

All this is why most people just donate books and take the tax writeoff. See the 'books' section at https://www.howardcountymd.gov/knowbeforeyouthrow.

Never tried it myself but I’ve heard good things. Like I said I don’t watch cable channels myself anymore.

Cut the cord years ago and never looked back. The best flexibility comes from getting an antenna for the locals; signal is good in the area unless you’re in an apartment or something. If you’re wanting cable channels go with slingtv for cheap or YouTube tv for more cost but a less buggy experience. But I stopped getting cable chans altogether, just subscribe to Netflix/Disney/hbo max/whatever for the month they have the show you want playing.
