Pa$$ the Buc - A brilliant Idea

Pa$$ the buc is a great idea for  selling and buying books and other things for a better prices than any other place. Just the fact that you can use up to $1000 each year just on books is crazy. The whole idea of books being that expensive, is just ridiculous. I think that it is a ripoff to offer the books for that much when you know that college kids are financially stressed.

This app is a great way of helping out college students looking for books, but also the ones trying to sell them. I really think that this would be a great place for people to save money, but also make money. One of my concerns with this app is, why students should sell their books over this app instead of some other place where they might get some more money for it than on the app. It might be easier to sell it on this app, but if people can get more money, then that is what they will choose. A solution to this could be to spread awareness of the fact that you will help fellow students, and that you are not selling them on there to make a lot of money, but to help out students.

Another concern is how you can make sure that the person that is trying to sell the book really has the book and is not just getting the money and not giving the book. This could be solved by a refund function, where if you don't receive the book in 7 days of paying then you will receive the money back. This money will then be draw out of the sellers account.

The presentation of this app was good, and seemed well prepared. The PowerPoint was neat and clean and looked great.
