In that case, Amazon won't help you; I've tried. Textbooks that go through frequent reprintings or new editions (damn those publishers) make your old editions obsolete and practically worthless.

I never try the college bookstore because they pay so little. If I can't sell them online, I take them to a used bookstore and take what I can get for them (which isn't usually very much, but then the books are at least out of apartment!). If you're looking to exchange books, paperbackswap.com is great. You get credits for listing books and can then use those credits to "purchase" other books. Not a bad deal if you're an avid reader.

I've never seen a college bookstore offer anything close to what you can get by selling it yourself online. Both stores make the process so easy it's really not a hassle at all. I actually prefer Half.com over Amazon and use them to sell all my old DVDs, CDs, video games, and books. I *hate* eBay (and by extension PayPal) so I never use them anymore. I know Half.com is owned by eBay but the streamlined listing process and payment processing is just so much more simple to use. Lately, I've started looking into a company called Swaptree where you can exchange old products rather than sell them. It looks like a good source to potentially swap finished video games. I've only listed a couple but haven't had any takers so far. I agree with the Amazon and Half.com recommendations.

Your first place to inquire should always be the campus bookstore(s). It won't take but a minute, many will even let you know over the phone (possibly even on their website) Then you'll be able to judge whether an amazon/ebay/etc listing is worth the effort/commission/shipping/possible returns hassle.
