About Us

Needabook was created to give students a better chance to make back some of their money, by selling used books at a better price. Most university bookstores buy books back for about 20% of the value, regardless of condition! Then, they sell those same books back to students for upwards of 80% of the original cover price - doesn't seem like a fair deal, does it?

Needabook provides students a way to make local connections - selling and buying without the middleman, and saving on shipping and handling.

We are a FREE website, dedicated to helping university or college students find the cheapest textbooks or sell their own used books!
