That is why I created http://www.StudentBookTrades.com. An easy way to find college textbooks that other students have already completed courses for. Students are automatically matched with each other to trade textbooks for classes they have completed. Trade, Swap, sell, or buy college textbooks from other students. Search the book database, contact the student at your home campus, city, state, or nationwide about the book and save money.

Thanks Nick, I have not tried that one specifically, but I have walked out in my underwear and shook his hand just long enough for it to be uncomfortable. There is a possible idea for a future story: “100 Ways to Get Your Sister to Dump the Douche Bag”

“…[T]raded germs like my seventeen-year-old sister and that douche she calls her boyfriend (seriously, he’s from Jersey)” is one of the better phrases I’ve read today. Also, have you tried the “cleaning the guns when the boyfriend arrives” move, favored by fathers and big brothers everywhere? If he’s from Jersey, he deserves it.

Thanks Sara. I personally have never used Chegg, but they seem like a type of Netflix per say, where they even pay for all the shipping. Nice find and thanks for the info.

I’ll be starting school in the spring after being out of the mix for about 8 years, and I plan to use Chegg.com to rent my books. I really don’t want to have to deal with either keeping the books and hauling them around every time I move or trying to sell the things for a fraction of what I paid.
