Student Textbook Exchange

Friends don’t let friends flush their money away at the bookstore.

I’m serious! Look at the math…
At a bookstore the average new textbook costs $102.44*. But with Uloop the average price is just $37! That’s $65 per book in savings just by using Uloop. Eat your heart out Amazon! Students win with Uloop.

Even when students sell their books to their classmates on the cheap, they’re still ahead of the bookstore buyback prices. It’s like there’s a warp in the space-time continuum over there. So if you see someone packing a bag full of books headed for the bookstore, do the right thing and send them to Uloop.com instead.

As always, buying and selling your stuff on Uloop is local and completely free.

* a 2004 study published by CALPIRG found the average new textbook to be $102.44. Uloop averages around $37 (that’s saving about 64% on each book)!
