It was a long, typical tiring Monday. I followed my usual routine for Monday eating Chick-fil-A in Hughes Trigg. As I walked in I saw blue, green, and yellow flyers all over the cafeteria. I opened my laptop and checked out www.campustk.com.

I registered an account using my SMU email address and realized that this was the solution to my problem. It was completely perfect timing. I had been so frustrated because I had gone to the SMU Barnes and Nobles store to sell my books and was going to receive pennies on the dollar.

This became my life savior.

It is actually like Craigslist but only for SMU students! I believe this is such a great idea. By eliminating the middleman, I will now be able to get more value for my books. However, the site is much better. It encompasses virtually any category related to students. Ranging from electronics, appliances to pet sitting and clothes, www.campustk.com will help me save both time and money.

I really like this exclusive aspect of the site. It was very user friendly, free, and easy to register an account!

Currently, I have already sold four of my six textbooks. This site is great. We met on campus and it was a fast transaction! I really think that the more people use it on campus the more we will all be able to benefit from this.

Especially now that the semester is coming to an end, I know I am going to be using at www.campustk.com  as a useful vehicle to get rid of extra items.

Thanks and congratulations CampusTK.com for creating this exclusive online marketplace for the SMU community.
