Are you familiar with Facebook? It’s a social-networking site similar to MySpace, but focused more on the college crowd (although it recently was opened to the public, and non-students are free to join. Current membership is about 30 million).
Anyway, Facebook has added a “book swap” feature that should drive some additional business to Amazon Marketplace. Users can list books they’re interested in buying or selling by punching in the ISBN. Facebook is charging no fees or commissions for listing or selling books. If the book isn’t listed by another Facebook member, members are referred to the book’s Amazon page.
If you’re already registered at Facebook, here’s the link for the Marketplace Book Exchange.

Steve, thanks for this information. Just signed up and checked out books for sale in my area (currently around 600 listings). To do this navigate to: Marketplace – For Sale – Books
The prices seem a little high, but who knows, after a little browsing one might find some gems.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the info. I had registered on Facebook sometime ago. Never really used it. I will now!! (:-)
This feature of Facebook seems no longer to be supported. It appears they did away with it in favor of more small-scale applications created by big textbook moguls to rip off students. Really too bad; seems nothing good lasts for long.
