It seems that students across the country are complaining about the rising cost of textbooks. However, I believe that students who buy and sell their books online can actually pay less for their books than ever before. There is getting to be more and more competition with companies who want to buy those used books. The competition is getting so fierce, in fact, that you can often sell a book back for almost as much as you paid for it.
I’d like to gather some data from real students who are currently in college. If you are a student, or know a student, please submit the following:
College:
Major:
Year:
ISBNs from your required textbooks
I’m then going to go through all of the submitted data and try to calculate how much students are paying for books, and how much they could save if they bought and sold them online.
