If you’re a college student, you have no doubt been shocked at the exorbitant cost of buying textbooks. Why not rent them, instead? CampusBookRentals is a great alternative to purchasing those dry old college textbooks that you may never use again!
True story: when I was in college, one of my friends had to take beginning piano lessons for her music degree and I went to the campus bookstore with her to buy her book. Now, I was a piano teacher so I was very familiar with what certain piano lesson books cost. In the campus bookstore, I was absolutely astounded to see that the very same book that I could buy at the little music store down the street for $4.95 was a whopping $24.95 in the bookstore! What??? I seriously thought that it had been accidentally priced incorrectly. Keep in mind that if the store down the street was selling it for $4.95 , their cost was probably $2.50 or so. You do the math.
I also had a professor that had us buy a silly little book(let) and she informed us that the college required the professors to assign a book of some kind (so that they could sell those books in the bookstore). This really annoyed the professor (who was new to the college) so she assigned this cheap little book. It’s crazy out there!
With CampusBookRentals, you will save 40-90% off of bookstore prices, and shipping is always FREE! There are flexible rental periods, and you can even highlight in the books as you study. And one of the best reasons to rent? CampusBookRentals donates to Operation Smile* with every textbook rented, so not only are you getting a great deal, you’re doing a good deed!
There’s also a relatively new program called RentBack. This is a program that allows a student to actually rent back textbooks that they own to other students again and again. That makes 2 to 4x more money than simply selling the book back to the bookstore at a ridiculously reduced price. This is a win-win! Here’s how it works:
