Rate our idea / site (Textbook Revolt)
gojomo: My own thoughts:- what's the cost advantage over the usual buy-and-sell-back-to-used=bookstores approach?- do enough students want to hold the inventory and take on the risk of nonreturns/expiring editions/etc.? (If this is a economic winner, I would have already expected it to be done informally already by hustling undergrads... is it common?)- how much more lifetime does the physical textbook have?And if you've been at this since 2007, you probably know that various kinds of textbook exchanges are so commonly proposed (and go nowhere) that they're (in some circles) a running joke. Google [sethi "trade your used books"] for what I mean.
