Most you can get is $1476.86 (selling all of the books (used and hard cover) in person), and if you sell it on Amazon, they take around 15% in fees, so you'll still get $1255.33. But wait...if you sell it to your university's book store, best they can do is $.01.
Total cost: $2832.11 (including speakers)
Net loss: -$1355.25 (books only). If sold on Amazon, net loss: -$1576.78 (books only). Speakers look nice; I wouldn't sell them.
Edit: Added the two books and the table. /u/The_King_of_Pants gave the price of speakers. ¡Muchas gracias para el oro! Reminder: Never buy your books at the bookstore.
Edit 2: Here are most of the books on Library Genesis

The two books:
Absolute beginners? The local high school textbook.
If you know calculus then I'd sugguest Young & Freedman's, because mechanics knowledge is paramount. Futhermore the book covers electromagnetism, waves, some special relativity, and dabbles in advanced topics. It was used almost the entirety of my first year at uni.
You can easily choose an older version if you don't want to pay so much.
I know the university I'm headed to is using University Physics. I have a PDF of it, if you want it. It basically covers all the fundamental physics using calculus, so I would definitely regard it as a post-IB book.
I've heard many say that Resnick and Halliday's books are the best out there. They are perhaps a bit old, but seem to be the favorite among undergraduates.
If you want a more intuitive understanding of physics, then The Feynman Lectures are a must. He covers some material that requires knowledge of undergraduate level physics, but a lot of it I've found to still be enlightening. The intuition you'll get is invaluable.

I know I am late to the party but I took this info on how time is measured from my University Physics book.
Assuming the first:
For an introduction, Shankar's Fundamentals of Physics is good, but it doesn't have workable examples and it covers a large range of literature in a short period. I'd recommend it if you just want an understanding of the maths, and not a fluency in doing it. University Physics is commonly used for classical mechanics. Moving on:
Light and Optics
Griffith's Quantum Mechanics
Schroeder's Thermal Physics
Electromagnetism
Those are just a few introductory books; not mentioned were statistical mechanics, solid state physics, nuclear, plasma, special and general relativity, quantum field theory, etc. These aren't all needed for an introductory study, though. This is what one would need if one hoped to understand the contemporary problems in the philosophy of physics. As I mentioned below, you need at least single and multivariable calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra; these can be developed as one goes.
University Physics looks at you. Though, it's probably not a good bet for JEE (book is way too fat and may be discouraging for study). But the exercises were good.
Also, if you are willing to pay a bit, i can only but recommend this book (covers a lot of subjects in both classical and modern physics). It is filled with examples, exercises and solutions, all illustrated. It also makes a great deal of pointing out misconceptions and misunderstandings that people often make when learning about physics.
CS - CodeAcademy http://www.codecademy.com/ not bad intro stuff
Math - KhanAcademy https://www.khanacademy.org very well guided math, after you're done with that try a couple textbooks to round yourself off with the workbooks (they have odd problems solved) http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Ron-Larson/dp/0547167024/ http://www.amazon.com/University-Physics-Modern-13th/dp/0321696867/ (obliviously not free unless you know where to look, wink wink)
If you want to take the CS skills to the next level, you're gonna need a lot of practice and multiple books. More advanced/niche online classes are usually pay only.
