Madscotty.com was created
in the Spring of 2005 by Albion College
student Scotty Bruce
as a classifieds website which students could
use to post their books for sale.
Recently Senate has merged with madscotty.com
to offer you the following services:
-
Madscotty.com
is now a website in which students can post
things for sale in front of their local
college community.
-
Madscotty.com also provides students
with an online ride board.
-
It is a free service which only requires the
student to register, acquiring a log-in and
password.
-
Once you log-in, you can start posting your
own free classifieds ads which will be
viewable by the entire school for about 3
weeks. You choose the price of your
book and collect the money directly from the
student you sell to. No middle man
involved.
Example
Beth lives in Wesley Hall and is about
to finish a semester of Physics 105 (Intro to
Astronomy). She purchased the used book
"The Cosmic Perspective" from the campus
bookstore at the beginning of the year for
$70. However, when she attempted to sell
the book back to the bookstore, they only
offered her $30. Outraged, Beth refuses
to sell her book back, and instead posts it
for sale on
www.madscotty.com for $50. Ted, a
junior who lives in Twin Towers, has just
registered to take Physics 105 next semester,
but refused to pay the high bookstore price of
$70 for his text book. Instead, Ted
Visits
www.madscotty.com and sees Beth's book
posted for sale. He contacts Beth, using
the information she posted on the website, and
the two agree to meet the next day to make the
transaction. End Result:
Beth makes an extra $20 by selling her book
directly to another Albion College student.
Ted saves $20 by buying his book directly from
another Albion College student.
