Buy and Sell Between Classes The best marketplace is the one within walking distance. Campus traders sell textbooks, minifridges, bikes, and gear to students they can meet on the quad.

Buyers are a five-minute walk away, no shipping, and end-of-term supply means real bargains on exactly the stuff students need.

Move-out weeks. Graduating students sell nearly everything, fast — the move-out market is the best shopping of the year.

Meet in busy public campus spots in daylight, take payment on handoff, and skip deals that ask for deposits before meeting.
