Sounds backwards, right? Here's the deal.

If you're an overworked student who just wants a few extra dollars for your books and never thinks about "business"… honestly, you can stop reading here. Use SBP, tell a couple close friends, and we won't get mad.

But if you've got a bit of an entrepreneurial spark, this is where it gets interesting. We built Secret Book Price for the student who wants to be "the" person everyone sells their books to. Your friends and classmates offload their textbooks to you, and you turn around and use SBP to run a small textbook reselling empire.

We see this as a real-world starter kit for entrepreneurship:

  • A simple way to flip books for profit, basically a small business in an app
  • Hands-on experience in marketing, pricing, and managing a real-world business
  • A small, repeatable system you can scale (if you are up for it)

That's why our primary mission is to serve student entrepreneurs—through contests, partnerships with schools, and by making SBP as close to a one-click business as possible. Know that we are constantly thinking up new ways to help you scale, so stay tuned.

So yes, we "do" kind of hope you keep us to yourself.
We help you make more money on every book… and you decide who gets let in on the secret.

How do buybacks work?

Getting cash for your books is easier than you think. Here's the simple 3-step process:

1) Scan for quotes

Scan each book's barcode with the SBP scanner. We'll instantly show you the best buyback prices from multiple vendors—all in one place.

2) Choose & ship

Pick the best quote and print your shipping label. Pack up and ship your books (shipping is paid for by the vendor—no cost to you).

3) Receive payment

Get paid via your chosen method when your books are checked in and approved. Most vendors pay within a few days of receiving your books.
