[ARCHIVED] used text books

[Alarice_jegels]

Good day,

Is there anyway that we can buy used text books from other parents? My kids grade 4,7 and 9 books were hardly used. We need a platform that we can swop and change or buy from each other. 

Let me know if we have such a platform please. 

Regards Alarice

Hi, 

As far as something at your school, you'd need to talk to the faculty and administration about setting something like that up..  I would think it would be something they would support. This discussion board is global, not local, so it's unlikely someone at your school would see this post. I don't know of a tool within Canvas designed to do what your asking. 

If you are looking to sell online, I know Amazon has a buy back program.  Chegg used to, but now they recommend GoTextbooks.  Creating a Facebook group to trade or sell books at your school might be a good option, too.
