Hand Me Downs
Free textbook marketplace for ASU students
Hand Me Downs started because the textbook market is broken. The campus bookstore charges full retail. Amazon ships in days and takes weeks to pay out. Generic marketplaces connect you with strangers from across the city. And every platform takes a cut.
We built the version we always wanted: a marketplace where ASU students buy and sell directly with each other, on campus, for free. No fees, no middleman, no strangers. Just Sun Devils helping Sun Devils.
How it works
1
Verified students only
Every account requires an @asu.edu email address. No one gets in without a valid ASU login.
2
Post or browse in seconds
Sellers post a listing in under 30 seconds. Buyers search by course code or book title across 57 ASU courses.
3
Meet on campus, pay cash
Buyers message sellers in-app and arrange a pickup on campus. Money goes directly between students — we never touch it.
