I used their sell tool as a way to find the best ways to sell my new and used textbooks. Fortunately I was able to get hundreds back by finding out who would give me the most for my money. Beats selling back to the bookstore who only wanted to give me about half of that!

I was able to sell my two of my textbooks from sophomore year using the sell feature. Awesome feature!!

Packback gives you the option to buy textbook rentals for $3-5 a day. Also, packback gives a sell tool option which gets you the most money back for your textbooks. Pretty cool since college bookstores seem to get a rise off of ripping kids off. Packback is a pretty sweet company for college students.

Packback is a very cost-effective way of saving hundreds of dollars on textbooks every semester. Instead of spending a lot of money on books yourself or your teacher isn't going to reference, Packback has given me an alternative of paying per use. I recommend this to every college student!

I would recommend Packback to anyone looking to save money on textbooks. I am happy that I came across this company, I have saved a lot of money.

I think Packback has such a great cause. They really do help students save a lot of money. College students spend a lot on textbooks, but Packback allows you to rent textbooks for such a low daily price. It's really an amazing deal! Plus, they also have this cool feature where you can sell your textbooks as well as an answer community.

This company is a great way for students with many options that students can use to beat the system! With help selling back books and helping find the cheapest books around Packback really is revolutionizing text book buying

While packback has a way to rent out books, I feel that the fact they actually buy back books is by far the best part of the site. The bookstore at my school was offering ~$60 for a book I paid $250 for. I used the packback site and got $140 for my Accounting textbook. I was super pleased with at least getting back a bigger chunk of change for a book that expensive.
