I have a friend that is having a hard time selling their book and the refuse to sell it back to the bookstore because it's the biggest rip off ever. So that gave me an idea, a spin on the whole textbook buying and selling (used).
Would students be interested in a site where it would connect people who are buying and selling textbooks and just pay a nominal fee (I was thinking $2 each way per book) for that service? So selling, you would get back way more than selling it to Amazon, Chegg, Bookstore etc but buying it would still be pretty cheap. The buyer would send the money to the website and the seller wouldn't get the money into their account until the buyer says they received the book.
Then students who sold books wouldn't even have to withdraw their money, they could buy books with the money that is in their account. If they have any leftover then they could request a withdrawal.
Just some musings of a Business Major and Entrepreneurial Studies minor. Oh and if there are any websites that are like this, then do please tell me.
