Online used book selling gains local popularity - Sharon Cantor, Daily Pennsylvanian

Penn undergraduate entrepreneurs are offering an alternative to spending hundreds of dollars on textbooks each semester -- and more and more students are taking advantage of their services. Two Web sites launched last fall, PennDeck.com and Pennforsale.com, join such national textbook exchange Web services as Half.com and Textexchange.com to facilitate the buying and selling of used books. Though the Penn Bookstore does buy and sell used books, many students feel they can get a better price by exchanging them online.
