BookBye
Read full descriptionHide full description
BookBye has what other book-selling apps don't: school, department, and class number search filters. BookBye allows you to search for books posted for sale by other students at your school, university, or college. You can filter your search by the department of the class you're about to take, and even filter by specific class code. For example, you can search for textbooks used in the ENG 101 class at your school! BookBye also provides a built in chat-feature, so you don't have to share your phone number, email, or social accounts with other students to communicate. If you're tired of trying to sell your books on generic third-party platforms like Amazon and Facebook Marketplace, try the features that cater specifically to students like you, and give BookBye a try.
