I have a ton of uni computer books (mostly theory eg.
modern compiler implementation in java) which I want to get
rid of. Does anyone know a good online marketplace for such
items?

theres always thrift stores too.
seriously there is no market for books, no matter how good.
i got all my robert a.heinlein, stanislav graf, and issac
asimov books at garage sales for less than a buck each

I know, I got the whole Dune series for next to nothing too.
But the thing is these are academic texts in mint condition.
I suppose I'll try ebay and amazon

Half.com has a section for textbooks, as does Amazon.com

If you study at university, the university book store will
usually buy them back from you at a reduced rate. Failing
that, advertising on noticeboards near the computer labs
works.

ive still got mine from 10 years ago. i only kept them to
freak out the computer engineer when he came around to fix
something. they were all stacked next to the computer. kept
him on his toes :)
