Like most students, the founder of
EZ Books spent many years in colleges and universities lamenting
over the high cost of textbooks and the reluctance of univerisity bookstores to buy back the very
same books they sold him just a few months before. (that's assuming they chose to even buy
back those books)
School bookstores are notorious for buying
back books for a fraction of the price you paid, and then turning around and selling those very
same books for 2-3 times the price the store paid. Bookstores make money not only
from the new books they sell, but they also exploit the students' lack of options in re-selling
their books, and capitalize on that for their own benefit.
The explosion of the Internet
has allowed us to build a simple and easy solution to help every student. In We have created a
site where students POST books they want to Sell and FIND books they need to
Buy. We have provided a forum where students can sell or buy books directly from each
other, without relying on the all-mighty university bookstore. Anyone is now able to
search for FREE for the books they need and to
post for FREE the books they want to sell.
Colleges and universities are quick to sell you a book, but are very reluctant to buy that book
back from you; and even when they do, they give you peanuts for it. If you've had enough
of spending hundreds of dollars on new books every semester and are tired of being stuck with
books that the school won't buy back or will pay you just a few dollars for, then you've come
to the right place!
Rather than pay high prices for books from university bookstores, you can buy a used
book from another student at a lower price. And when you're done with your books
EZ Books helps you re-sell them to someone else who needs them.
