Does Monster Trade charge a fee when I buy something?
No. MonsterTrade is absolutely free for all buyers. You simply have to register first by entering your name, e-mail, school, and agree to our terms and conditions. After that, you may search our listings and contact the sellers.

How do I exchange items?
After the buyer and the seller agree on a price and payment method, they can either have the item shipped or meet in person. If you choose to meet in person, we strongly recommend that you meet in a busy area such as the library or the quad, just to be safe.

How do I find the items I am looking for?
First you'll need to select the school. After that simply select your item and press [go]. If you are searching for a textbook, you may either: 1. Search for textbooks by entering the course name and number. 2. Search for textbooks by ISBN, author, and title.

Does MonsterTrade charge a fee for listing items?

What is a fair price for a used textbook?
A fair price is usually the median of what the bookstores charge for selling and buying the books back from students. Lets say, a certain bookstore charges $100 for a used book and decides to rip-off poor students by buying back the same book for $50. A fair price to trade would be anywhere from 75$ - 80$ whereby both parties can save around 20-25 bucks by using Monster Trade.

How Long is each listing good for?
Each listing will remain indefinitely unless you delete it. Please log in to the "my account" section and update your account to reflect that an item has been sold.

Is trading class work legal?
Selling/sharing/exchanging your own original class work is perfectly legal. However, some teachers distribute complete or incomplete prewritten notes, or sample tests which may not be copied with the intent of selling/sharing/exchanging without the agreement from the original owner. Also, making copies of someone else's original class work with the intent to sell/share/exchange without their agreement violates the respective owner's copyrights.
