Need That! Buy, Sell, Lend, Borrow, Request-the College Marketplace you deserve. Just because we have limited budgets does not mean our budgets should limit us. As frugal college students we can't splurge $100 for a textbook or $60 for those pants you someone wearing in your dorm. We need that marketplace where we can trade our stuff with the people around us. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to needthat.
