Selling U of C used textbooks? FB Group?

[xbr50]

Hey guys, I'm new to U of C, just wondering if anyone here knows about a facebook group (like the U of A does) or a good site to buy/sell used textbooks?

Thanks!

AFAIK, the UofC doesn't have a well-established 'source' for students to buy/sell to each other.

There are a few other options:

- We have a 'textbook' thread each semester on Beyond, so you can always post/look there.

- You probably know of this option already, but I'll post it just in case, buy you can 'sell' back easily to the bookstore:
http://www.calgarybookstore.ca/buyback.asp
&

- You can also try and sell them through Bound & Copied (the SU bookstore):
http://www.su.ucalgary.ca/page/quality-education/academic-services/bound-and-copied/book-consignment

- I recently also started using bookmob.ca , they are a Canadian company that buy/sells textbooks. From my research, their new book prices are $10-20 cheaper than UofC bookstore.

The great thing, for me, is that they offered to buyback books (for a decent price) that UofC was not even interested in buying. I just sold them 3 old textbooks (couple not even latest edition), that UofC would not take, and made $60 from it. You have to ship to them, but it's express and free (prepaid label provided).

I got a link if you want (saves both of us 5% on their site) to check it out: http://www.bookmob.ca/track/CC962743. Otherwise, it's bookmob.ca


Hope this helps! :P

^Thanks for the reply! I have been meaning to try bound and copy, but the line ups have been huge the last few times I visited.
Looking for used Geology textbooks aren't exactly easy!
