Follow these pointers while posting a book:

Listing Books:

1.        In order to achieve success on LocalTexts.com make sure to always fill out all of the fields that are provided.

2.        If possible, always put a picture with your book.  Most users are only going to buy a book that they can visually see.

3.        Always enter the Course Name: (i.e. "FIN3403") when listing your books. The course name is one of most identifiable fields on our book listings.

4.        Make sure to review the "How the Site Works" link. This link goes into detail for the entire process of selling and buying books.

5.        Always list your books at reasonable prices. Don't list a book that goes for $100 at the bookstore for $90 on LocalTexts.com. A sellable price would be $70 or lower. Just remember that if the bookstore is only going to offer you $40 for your book (even though they're going to turn around and sell that same book for $90) sell your book at $65, that's still $25 more than if you sold the book back to the bookstore.  In addition, buyers will be inclined to buy your book because it's $35 cheaper than the bookstore.

6.        Remember. . . LocalTexts.com is designed to Save You Money When Buying Books, and Make You More Money When Selling Your Books.

Searching for Books:

When searching for Books, LocalTexts.com has several different search features such as:

1.        Keyword searching: (i.e.  "Accounting")

2.       ISBN, Title, Author:  Use this feature if you know any of the latter

3.        Advance Search: This allows you to search by any field type (i.e.  Course Name- ASL 1, Teacher- Joe Smart, Course #- SPA 4612, etc.)

4.        *** Search All: This will bring up all the books listed under that particular school ***

Buying Books:  This process is explained under "How the Site Works"
