Why would any student want to buy a new or used book from the book store for almost
$100 when they can buy it from an auction for $50? On the other hand, why would
a student want to sell their book to the book store for $20 when they can auction
it off for $50?
Due to prices of books at the university book store, we came up with the idea of an
online auction for UM students. The online auction would let the students of UM to
auction off books of their choice. Exclusively for students living on campus, students
could auction appliances, electronics, furniture, etc for their dorm room.
