What is UBooks?
-
UBooks is a student-run bookstore at Washington University*. Our aim is to
provide an excellent, cheap alternative to the eFollett-bookstore monopoly
on campus. We buy and sell student textbooks. UBooks is now being operated
by a Washington University junior, Daniel Melzer**.
What makes UBooks better than my beloved bookstore?
-
UBooks buys used books for more and sells them for less! It's
that simple.
-
UBooks will always give you more money for your books than The Campus
Bookstore***. If we can't, we'll let you know so you can sell to The
Bookstore instead.
-
UBooks will always be cheaper than The Campus Bookstore***. We offer a 110%
Price Match Guarantee on any book we sell. If the bookstore is ever charging
less than us (we're pretty sure this has never happened), we will beat their
price by at least 10%.
-
We come to you. No waits, no lines, no carrying your books, just
convenience. After you've picked which books you'd like to sell us and
you've gotten your instant quote, just schedule an appointment and we come
to you.
-
We're local! UBooks is operated by a WashU student**. WashU is making a big
push to buy our food from local sources. Why not buy and sell books from a
local business, too? Keep the money in the community and out of the hands of
corporate fatcats.
What Makes UBooks better than other student-run
alternatives to The Campus Bookstore?
- UBooks is the only bookstore on campus that
guarantees to pay you more for your books than The Campus
Bookstore and gives you cash on the spot. We also offer a
110% Price Match Guarantee on any book we sell.

UBooks is managed, not run or owned, by Daniel Melzer on behalf of its
owners.

prices as posted on the Bookstore's website.
