How it Works

Every term there are hundreds of Students finishing up and starting the same course and need the same textbooks. Students can save a substantial amount of money by buying directly from other students. Students selling textbooks can usually benefit by getting more money back than what a bookstore would usually offer.

Seller Recommendation
As the school term starts to end, Students should begin posting their textbooks for sale and note when the book will become available to purchase. The earlier the better to ensure that other Students will find your book in time.

Buyer Recommendation
For those of you looking to buy textbooks from other Students, you will need to obtain the current information for the textbooks that you will be purchasing. This can usually be done online by going to your bookstores website.

Textbook Editions
Pay close attention to the edition of textbooks. Many times the edition will change quite frequently. Keep in mind that you can usually get a much better deal on a textbook that is one edition behind and still contains usually over 90% of the same material.
