Description:
U-Me is a peer to peer college specific ecommerce marketplace. Universities today markup textbook prices unethically giving the consumers no other purchasing alternative. Seeking cheaper prices, students, parents, and instructors turn to alternative resources to try and find textbooks for cheaper prices or the best deals they can find. U-me provides an innovative and efficient way to strategically purchase textbooks (between students at their specific university), services (such as tutoring), basic living essentials, and miscellaneous goods for a significantly lower price, and faster transfer from the buyer and seller. U-Me bypasses the hassle of packaging and shipping or waiting for Amazon to ship a book. U-Me, in the beginning of 201,7 will incorporate a feature into the app where it allow teachers to sell their ebooks over the app
