Pick Your Textbook Price

BookThief.com: The TextBook Black Market
BookThief.com’s story is much like the other stories you’ve heard about dot com startups (cue the sad story music). We started with an idea—providing a way for students to list and sell their used textbooks at an affordable cost—and it grew into something bigger. We hope to become the ‘black market’ for everything college students need to find in their local community. All of the people who have contributed to BookThief.com were, or ARE, college students. We have felt your pain!

We’ve all been in a position where we were looking to buy a used textbook and the bookstore didn’t have any more used books, they only had new books. We’ve also made flyers and stapled them to bulletin boards around campus trying to sell a book we couldn’t sell back to the bookstore, or the bookstore only offered us a few dollars for something that we paid far more for. Some of us did this 20 years ago and some of us more recently, but our stories are profoundly similar. This is even more amazing when you think back to the when there was no Internet. There really was no way to ‘get the word out’ to everyone on campus at once. Here we are in the Internet age and still, no way to get the word out for every college student in America. UNTIL NOW!

We heard a story the other day that made us all sigh in frustration but one that gave us initiative to move forward with a Web site that could be used by all college students in the United States and Canada. A college student was telling us the other day that she was taking a final exam last semester only to see a classmate turn in his exam early. He had left the exam early to sell his textbook back to the bookstore. He got $75.00 back (after having paid $170), but this student finished her exam a half hour later and went to the same bookstore only to be offered $40 for the exact same textbook! Are students really leaving exams early or selling their textbooks back to the bookstore when they really need the textbook to study? We hope this was an isolated incident, but we know better.

We have all faced the problem of needing a small refrigerator, couch or loft, and couldn’t afford to buy something new. BookThief.com hopes to solve that problem as well. We want to put college students in touch with college students, locally. And, we want to do it with a little humor along the way otherwise we will all kill each other before this is done.

My Favorite Memory

The first time we met is a favorite mem'ry of mine.
They say time changes all it pertains to
But your memory is stronger than time.
I guess everything does change except what you choose to recall.

There's a million good daydreams to dream on
But, baby, you are My Favorite Mem'ry of all.

Send a Card to a Soldier

If you go to LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card, Xerox will print it, and it will be sent to a soldier currently serving in Iraq.

The cards are all drawn by grade-school kids across the country. You have to see them to believe them.

You can't pick out who gets your card, but it will go to some member of the armed services.

How nice it would be if everyone sent just one.

Send a card. It's free and it only takes a second.

(And it might leave you crying like a child like it did me.)

"Those Were the Days"

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do.

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Then, the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say . .


Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same.

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
