Usedcollegebooks.net challenges middlemen, takes steps to curb their inflationary powers

With printing & paper costs getting higher day by day, it has become excruciatingly difficult for young college goers to purchase new books from their college campuses or book retail stores.

USA, Tajikistan (prHWY.com) February 22, 2012 - With printing & paper costs getting higher day by day, it has become excruciatingly difficult for young college goers to purchase new books from their college campuses or book retail stores. And hence, in their bid to save money on books, they have started to rely on used college books available on 2nd hand book stores or websites. However, the latest PR issued by http://www.usedcollegebooks.net/ has disclosed some interesting facts.

The honorable CEO of UCB (Used College Books) states, "In this age when students have begun to place their reliance on used college textbooks sold, apparently, at a cheaper price in 2nd hand markets, it is an undeniable truth that, even at a fairly reduced price, such college books are vastly overpriced. The prices of old college textbooks are often inflated to fill the pockets of the middlemen and hence, a buying student actually dishes out more than the book actually commands."

So, is there any solution to curb the ongoing hazard of the middlemen? The CEO gives a ray of hope as he discusses the latest strategy deployed by UCB to suppress this inflationary system as he cites, "We have commenced our new service that has been aimed towards eliminating a young student's frivolous expenses on a used college book. The wide gap between the actual price & the inflated price of a used college book can only be narrowed if the middleman can be removed and a platform can be built for direct interaction and subsequent transaction between the passed-out ex student of a campus/university and the fresh student seeking used books.

At our website http://www.usedcollegebooks.net/, we have taken the initiative to bridge the geographical gap between the two generations of students. If a student, who has completed his semester, wishes to sell his used textbooks at, say, $200, then the aspiring candidate can contact him and purchase these used college books at the same price of $200. Thus, cheap textbooks can be purchased without having to bear additional costs, shipping charges and, most importantly, the profit margin of the middleman."

The CEO also gives a sneak peek into what transpires in 2nd hand markets as he continues, "In 2nd hand markets infested with middlemen, the above-mentioned set of books would have been picked up by the seller from the older student at $200 and he would have added a profit margin of, say, 20%, and then sold them off to the younger student at a steeper price of $240. Thus, the younger student unknowingly dishes out an extra $40 which does not go to the hands of the original seller but is enjoyed by the middleman.

By ensuring that such intermediary channels are removed from the network, we are looking to help college goers from economic section of the society get these used college books at the right price," he concludes.

This press release has received tremendous support from erudite advocates of education. This effort from Tutoring Services, LLC is directed towards assisting financially challenged students to get used textbooks at lower prices.
