You make a 'Wishlist' of the books you need, and then you receive notification when someone in your area posts them for sale - it's fast and easy to use! I had previously tried using Craigslist, Kijiji, Facebook forums, Agora, and other forums, but I found them to be very disorganized - If I found a book that I needed was posted by someone, by the time they would respond to me, it would be gone. With LocAZu, the wishlist feature is very helpful because it eliminates the need to repost your books or skim through ads - saving me the hassle and the time. So if you're looking to buy books or sell used books, I strongly recommend trying www.locazu.com - I saved a lot of money!

During this time, used textbook sellers are marking down their inventory trying to sell off their overstock. You could probably save up to 50% during these months compared to January. You could also make money on your textbooks by reselling them online to companies such as MyBookCart.com. http://www.mybookcart.com The best way to save money on textbooks is to buy them used online during the months of March or April.

I wanted to share a code that your readers can use to get a discount on their text order. Put in the code when ordering and hit the "apply" button. The code also gives you back an additional $5 when selling Chegg your used texts. The code does not have an expiration date so it can be used with every order. Here it is: CC123047 Feel free to pass this code to friends! We love using Chegg to rent textbooks and save a lot of money!
