Buying and selling textbooks is quite possibly the bane of every college student’s existence (after midterms and finals, of course). When buying books, they’re expensive. When selling, they’re cheap. In addition to the financial stresses of each book, one usually has to walk across campus with a heavy pack full of a semester’s worth of books in order to get rid of them. It’s an added stressor to the hassle of selling your books, and there should be an easier way to do it.
With millions of students buying, selling, and renting textbooks every semester there must be a better process than the old brick and mortar campus bookstore. Luckily for today’s students, there is.
TextbookRush fulfills this need by providing a fast, easy, and secure way to buy, sell, and rent textbooks, movies, video games, and electronics online. If that’s more than what you’re looking for, you can simplify things further and sell your textbooks via their dedicated smartphone app. For further clarification, the app is for selling your books only and the online store is for buying, renting, selling, and more.
Basically, TextbookRush deals with everything a college student needs outside of a fully stocked fridge. Through creating an online catalog to buy, sell, and rent books, TextbookRush allows students to sell their books easily and on their own time.
