What is a fair price for a used book?
There are two key figures that are crucial to setting a price on a used book. They are: The cost of the book in the bookstores, and the bookstores' buyback price. We suggest pricing it somewhere in the middle of these two figures. For example, if the bookstore sells a book for $70, and their buyback price is $20, we suggest selling the book in the ball park of $40-60. There is usually such a wide margin between what the bookstores charge and what they are willing to pay students, that pricing it in the middle will be a deal worthwhile to both parties.
Do book listings ever expire?
Yes, but only if they are not renewed. Currently, after 35 days a listing automatically becomes inactive and is taken out of the database. We do this to help keep the database current and keep our maintenance down. However, a listing may be renewed indefinitely. The site has a built-in e-mail notification that is automatically sent out when a book listing nears expiration.
How do you recommend completing the transaction?
After agreeing on a price, we recommend meeting in a public place accompanied by a friend or two! We also recommend doing the exchange during daylight.
Do my songs expire?
yes, but only if they are not renewed monthly.
