College Students Use Automation to Sell Textbooks for Maximum Dollars

May 11, 2011 - PRLog -- With the end of another school year students are selling textbooks and hoping to recover as much of their initial cost as possible. Selling textbooks to online book merchants has become an attractive alternative to selling back to the campus bookstore. Online book buyers have become an even more attractive alternative to the local bookstore since many have started offering free shipping and easy print-yourself shipping labels.

Cheap-Textbooks.com is reporting a 314% increase in online buyback transactions for the first 10 days of May compared to the same period last year. “Students have embraced our textbook price comparison service for years to find the cheapest rental and purchase options. With the number of online buyback sites increasing students are finding they need an automated buyback price comparison tool to easily find who is offering top dollar” reports Bob Jones, Cheap-Textbooks.com founder.  “I hope making buyback prices easily visible will increase competition and push up the value of used books” continued Mr. Jones.

The textbook buyback quote tool is located at http://www.cheap-textbooks.com/sell-back-textbooks.php and reports buyback prices from up to 10 textbook buyers. Sites bidding to buy back your textbook include Amazon, Better World Books, BookByte, Chegg, eCampus, TextbooksRus and others. The sell back quote tool is also included in Cheap-Textbooks price comparison apps for Android, iPhone and iPad.
