"Let the whole world know!" Wednesday, September 02, 2009 It’s hard to look back on my undergraduate experience in college and not think about the high prices of textbooks. As if tuition fees and boarding costs weren’t enough I dreaded going to the bookstore, it was one of the worst experiences during my college years. First of all the lines at the bookstore were a total turn off. I would go in there and wait for hours just to buy these $200 books.

At the end of the semester I would go back in that 2 hour line to try and sell them back. After I spent over $800 on my textbooks for the semester I would come back with $100 at the end. Now if that's not a rip-off I don’t know what is.

Well, this time around I will be starting my Masters. I did some research, asked around and I found Skoobit. Heard about it through a friend and decided to give it a try. Didn’t actually know you could rent textbooks now, but it seemed like a good idea. After all she was so excited about it, so it doesn’t hurt to see what the hype was all about. The same day I went online. I checked out the site, found my books in less than 2 minutes and rented them. When I looked at the rental price, I said this must have been an error because these books are worth over $100 each and on Skoobit I could rent them all for a total of $59.99 a month for 4 months. So I actually called customer service just to verify and to my surprise it was correct. I rented all 6 books for the 4 months and I am so excited! I only wished I could have done this years ago when I was doing my undergrad.

Thank you Skoobit! I just wanted to share my experience and I am now ready to let the whole world know that there is only one place to get textbooks now and it’s to just Skoobit!
