!!!!! ATTENTION ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS !!!!!!
PROBLEM: ARE YOU SICK & TIRED OF:
1 Waiting hours in line to purchase your textbooks?
2 Paying sales tax?
3 Waiting hours in line to sell back your textbooks,
only to get 50% back of the purchased value,
or even worse if there is an overstock you get nothing?
SOLUTION: UNIVERSITYTEXT.COM WEBSITE
A unique service on the Internet, offered to every college
student in the World. Its goal is to
provide a central used textbook database on the Internet
for the entire college student community,
so that any student may
BUY AND SELL TEXTBOOKS DIRECTLY TO
ONE ANOTHER WITHIN THEIR COLLEGE.
UTILIZE: UNIVERSITYTEXT.COM TO SAVE $$$$$$$
Don't pay 100% retail for each textbook!
Don't lose 50% on each textbook that you sell back!
Don't wait in long lines ever again to buy or sell your textbooks!
No sales tax!
Advertise your used textbooks to other students in your college for what
they're worth! It only costs a buck ($1.00 processing) per textbook to
advertise on UNIVERSITYTEXT.COM. Buy your used textbooks
by viewing other students ads in your college on
UNIVERSITYTEXT.COM for FREE!!!
HOW IT WORKS:
1) You advertise your BOOK FOR SALE by filling out a simple form.
The ad is posted in your college database for others to view.
2) To BUY BOOKS you view other students ads, and get in touch
with them by using the information they provided
(e-mail, phone, etc.)
3) You can then meet on campus and complete the exchange.
Students who use this service could save hundreds of dollars a year.
As an example, on the average, a student purchases 4 textbooks
per semester and pays approximately $50.00 per book, if not more,
totaling $200.00. When purchasing from the bookstore, you would
pay 100% of the textbooks value instead of 75%
(the recommended buy/sell percentage from UNIVERSITYTEXT.COM),
which would equate to a $50.00 loss! At the end of the semester, when you
would try to sell your books back to the book store, you would receive
50% back of the purchased value, resulting in an additional $100.00 loss!
Thus, totaling a loss of $150.00 or more per semester! If you're on quarter
semesters, losses could result into $2400.00 or more per college education,
not including the sales tax that everyone pays.
We welcome each college student to take advantage
of this innovative service of saving both TIME and MONEY.
