We are a web service dedicated to connecting college students who are buying and selling textbooks or other course materials. The concept is simple- you set the price and the meeting place (usually on campus). From there, you exchange payment for materials. The benefits to you are: Cheaper textbooks and materials, no taxes, no postage or service fees, no membership, no bookstore lines and no middlemen!

Here's a typical example of what's wrong with our current system and how posting your textbook on StudentMafia.com benefits you and your schoolmates:

Textbook from campus bookstore = $163 (new),

Bookstore buyback price paid to student = $49 (or about 30% of cost new)

Bookstore resell price of same book to next buyer = $130 (or 80% of cost new) -- You pay $130 for a used book and the bookstore profits $80 on resale!

Selling the same textbook from StudentMafia.com puts some of that $80 profit in your pocket, and the reduction in sales price increases the chance of your book selling!

It’s time for students to come together, take matters into our own hands and create a better way of getting the materials we need. We can do this by forming a student mafia.
