ValoreBooks.com Debunks Textbook Myth

San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) January 19, 2010 -- ValoreBooks.com is debunking the myth that renting is cheaper than buying textbooks. In its nationwide effort to ensure that students across the country have access to cheap textbooks (http://www.valorebooks.com/), ValoreBooks.com proves that buying textbooks can actually cost less than renting.

“Our goal is to provide students with information,” says Bobby Brannigan, founder and chief executive officer of ValoreBooks.com. “Buying a textbook and selling it back on a site like ValoreBooks.com will save students more money and less hassle and fees than renting a textbook. The facts show that students often save more by buying and selling their textbooks on ValoreBooks.com than renting them.”

Price comparisons from ValoreBooks.com and the average rental prices from four major textbook rental companies on January 15th, 2010 prove Brannigan’s point. The net cost of buying and selling Biology and MasteringBiology, ISBN 0321543254 on ValoreBooks.com is $57.63, while the average cost of renting the same book is $81.29, a savings of $23.66. The same goes for Calculus:Early Transcendentals, ISBN 0495011665 with a savings of $22.61 as well as Consumer Behavior, ISBN 0136015964 with a savings of $11.63.

Students can save even more money by listing their textbook for sale on the ValoreBooks.com marketplace. Here, students are able to set their own price for the book, and get paid once the item sells. A student can purchase Exploring Psychology, ISBN 0716771411 in good condition for $47.39 from the ValoreBooks.com marketplace. That student can then resell the item on the marketplace in the price range of $47.39-$60.75 when they are done using it. The net cost for the textbook could be nothing, and the student could even make money on the transaction. For more information on buying and selling textbooks, please visit www.ValoreBooks.com.
