Top 5 Reasons To Swap
You SAVE
You can save hundreds of dollars each year and eventually thousands for all your years in college. Tell your friends about text4swap.com, they will tell their friends and eventually you could pay $10 a year for books!
It's GREEN
Textbook swapping saves trees because when swapped books stay in circulation longer. At Text4Swap we strongly believe students will be more encouraged to swap their old books instead of buying and selling, seeing that they will exchange used textbooks for the textbooks needed for new courses without having to find additional funds. Thus, fewer trees will have to be destroyed to process new books, making our environment cleaner and safer.
You DONATE
10% of all the membership fees collected from your school will be given back to develop student activities and initiatives. In other words, if 500 students from one campus use Text4Swap.com, 10% of all the service fees collected from those 500 students will be donated to that specific campus. Isn’t it amazing that you can get rid of your book stress for $10 and still have money for fun or to allocate for meaningful events?
It's CONVENIENT
Text4Swap is easy to use and super convenient. All you have to do is enter your unwanted books, and the books you need for new courses and our system will search for exact matches. So forget selling and then searching for books. Just ENTER your books – ONE easy step!
It's a CULTURE
Through swapping students are able to take part in a way of life that extends far beyond college. When students swap books they are making several positive contributions to a brighter future for generations to come. Such contributions include helping to create a cleaner safer environment by saving trees, and donating to events and activities that will expose them and other students at their respective schools’ to environment and community development projects that will give them an experience they most likely will share with generations to come. Also, every student who swaps, and spread the word about swapping to make swapping one of the most popular ways to trade textbooks, helps to make it possible for us at Text4Swap, along with student leaders, to develop and eventually present a convincing case to legislators around the country that students will make use of legislations that extend the life cycle of textbooks. Longer life cycle amounts to more used textbooks being in circulation, making texts cheaper for all students. This will completely change textbook trading for all future generations.
