SkoolBoy was founded in 2008 to provide college students as well any other buyers and sellers the opportunity to buy and sell textbooks and stuff to a wider audience for free. Yes, the site does charge fees for putting auctions on the homepage and featuring an item, but these are optional fees. Without these options, selling things is free on the site. SkoolBoy only charges a small commission of 4% at the end of each transaction. The site is user friendly and what makes SkoolBoy different is the customization of the seller’s page which allows the seller to post a picture and info about themselves. Other sites make it difficult for a seller to make profit because they include charges for changing font, price of starting a bid, and other miscellaneous add-ons when setting up an auction. At SkoolBoy, there are no additional fees for starting your bid at $50 or even $100. Sell your item for free! In addition, you can make offers on items on the site. Similar to a buy it now option, but you can get to make an offer based on a range such as $4-$8. Any offer submitted in that range will be reviewed by the seller and if accepted, you will be able to buy the item immediately. You can POST VIDEOS (check out video in this auction) in your auctions, a cool feature on the site. You can Suggest Categories for the site. Just click on suggest categories located on the left hand side of the page. You can list items for up to 2 months! No Fees are charged based on duration of Auction. See News Article about 2 month auctions.
Skoolboy was started for the sole purpose of helping college students sell their textbooks for a decent price instead of getting ripped off by their school bookstores and other places that offer a paltry buyback return. Who wants to buy a book for $100 and get $20 in return? At Skoolboy, we give you the opportunity to sell your book to a wider audience for free and reap the benefits of that increased exposure by getting more money in return. You don’t need to settle for $20 or even 50% back on the textbook when you can sell it for more. With SkoolBoy, you are guaranteed a fair chance at getting more of your money back.
At SkoolBoy, we are hoping to build a community where college students around the world can interact with one another and exchange books at the same time. Register Today!
