The Book Beaver was built to help students (and parents) buy textbooks affordably and to sell those books at quarter/ semester's end for more than they would have received from their student bookstores. Imagine selling 3 textbooks on The Book Beaver for maybe $20 more per book... that's an EXTRA $60 per quarter/semester! So instead of letting the bookstore take that profit, you could pocket it, take your date to a nice restaurant, buy that pink flamingo you've always wanted for your lawn... we think you get the point.
