How to sell math/physics textbooks in Europe?

AI Thread Summary
Selling undergraduate physics and mathematics textbooks in Belgium has proven challenging due to the lack of demand for these specific titles in local universities. The seller has attempted platforms like Facebook Marketplace and eBay without success. Recommendations for finding buyers include exploring Amazon's second-hand book section, which may attract a more targeted audience. The seller is open to selling the books at a good price, emphasizing their excellent condition and the desire to clear space in their library.

Hello everyone,

I don't know if that's the correct place to ask this (didn't want to pollute the science and math textbooks recommendations), sorry if it is not.

I have undergraduate physics and mathematics textbooks that I am trying to sell. I live in Belgium and I bought textbooks recommended on physicsforums (mainly recommended textbooks in the US it seems).

I tried Facebook Marketplace and ebay without success because these books are not used by the belgian universities.

The books are in perfect conditions and I am willing to let them go for a good price. I have no use of them and they just take dust in my library.

Would you have some recommendations on how to find buyers in Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany preferred)?

Thanks.

I usually look on amazon. They also sell second-hand books, so there must be sellers. It is certainly better than ebay or FB with their wide unspecific range of customers.

Thanks, I'll try that. :)
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
