Usually sell them on Half.
+1. Selling them yourself is more profitable than Amazon GC's IMHO

I check where they're going for most half or amazon and sell there. If they are the same then half wins, since they'll also list it on ebay.

Is it guaranteed that amazon will buy back your book or could they deny it?

they buy it back for pennies on the dollar your best bet is to sell it yourself on amazon or half.com

When are they offering you 70% buyback price?
When you buy it, right? I bought a textbook on amazon and they promised me a good buyback price. When I tried to sell it back to them after my semester they literary offered me penny's for it. So I sold it myself.
