I just made almost $200 without leaving the Ryerson campus, and - get this - so can you!! If you’ve never been to the Used Book Room, I encourage you to go there the next chance you get. It’s the best way to buy new books for low prices and make money by selling your old course books.
The Used Book Room is in the basement of the Student Campus Centre and it’s owned and operated by students for students. It really is a key service for Ryerson students since everyone needs course books and money.
The best part is you really don’t need to do any of the work when getting rid of your old books! You just drop off your books, decide what price you want to sell them for, and then wait until someone picks them up. The Used Book Room lets you know when your books have sold and gives you the money you earned according to their consignment policy.
Your books are kept for a year and then if they don’t sell, they’re donated to charity. The Used Book Room also offers cash for your books on the spot if you don’t feel like waiting for someone else to come and buy them. While you're there, don't forget to check for used books that you may need for your classes. It's such a great alternative to buying the much more expensive, new version (especially when someone else has already highlighted all the important passages in your course book!)
Don’t worry if you feel like you missed the opportunity to sell your books this semester. While the Used Book Room is open for extended hours at the start of each term, it’s open every day but Sunday for the rest of the year.
So, looking down at my new wad of cash, I can honestly say that this RSU service truly enhances campus life all year long. Go drop off your old books now and hopefully by this time next year you will have some money waiting for you!
