The Company’s Goal Is to Make Used College Textbooks Free

College & University Pressroom

CARSON CITY, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On Campus Direct is a new nationwide network for college students to place free ads to buy and sell textbooks directly with each other. Buy and sell ads are compared for a “match.” Students get an email notification if someone has a textbook they need, or wants a textbook they are selling. There are no fees for sales between college students and no useless site or banner ads.

“College students should control the used textbook market, not big business.”

For years students have thought, “Using a college textbook may cost $0.00 if bought from one student and sold to another at a similar price.” The relentless cycle of buying college textbooks high and selling low can be ended. Students who get a new class list can immediately post ads for textbooks to buy and textbooks to sell the next term. On Campus Direct does the rest. Ads are matched and students get notified of potential buyers and sellers.
