We recently spent a few days on the campus of The Ohio State University handing out flyers and spreading the word to students. Both Nate and Mike (pictured) were very interested in hearing about the benefits of peer to peer textbook rental.

We continue to try and build a strong presence at OSU through student involvement activities and word of mouth promotion.

Peer to Peer (P2P) Textbook Rental

Peer-to-peer (P2P) textbook rental is quite different than the business-to-peer (B2P) model that is currently being used by other major college textbook rental companies. Instead of renting textbooks from Silibi, you will be renting directly from other users around the country. By doing this, we are able to cut out the middleman and provide an opportunity for users to make more money than ever before from their textbooks. No longer will students be limited to making a one-time fee from selling their textbooks. Students can now have the luxury of lending their textbooks to others around the country, making money every single semester.

We are able to offer the lowest textbook rental prices on the web by giving users the freedom to set the rental fee’s. We encourage you (and each of your friends) to list all of your textbooks to create the most price competitive environment possible and drive the rental prices even lower. For example, if a user were to list a “Calculus 101” textbook on the website at a certain rental price, the next user to list the same book would likely try and undercut the first users rental price to increase the chances of their book being rented. The prices will continue to get driven lower and lower as more and more options are available.

Listing Textbooks Has Never Been Easier

  2. Click on the "Add Books" from the dashboard
  3. Enter the ISBN number of the textbook you would like to add
  4. Enter the rental price you are willing to accept
  5. Sit back and relax! Let your textbook start earning you money every semester!
