The Book Exchange is an application that makes your life easier by doing the work of reselling your books for you. All you have to do is scan the QR Code on the back of your books and the platform takes care of the rest.
We know that there are many platforms dedicated to the resale of second-hand clothing and accessories, but here, with the Bourse aux Livres, it is about making your life easier by doing the resale work for you .
It’s very simple and quite fun since you just need to scan the barcode on the back
books you want to resell. The Book Exchange algorithm will then be responsible for defining the sale price, based on demand, the supply of similar books on the application and the price of the new book.
Obviously, the greater the demand, the higher the price will be.
Then, apart from dropping off your books at a relay point or a Fnac store, you have nothing more to do since the platform takes care of everything: the announcement, the sale and sending it to the future buyer. Once the book has been sold, your account is of course credited on the application, minus a 25% commission on the sale price.
What if the book doesn’t find a buyer?
In practice 90% of books are resold!
But if in fact after a year, no sales have been made, the application offers you either to recover your unsold items, or to offer them to an association in this case Bibliothèque Sans Frontières which aims to facilitate access to culture in developing countries. This she does in particular by collecting books for the benefit of library networks around the world.
To resell your books but also find what you are looking for among the 150,000 references currently available, go to laborseauxlivres.fr
