Marketext is a responsive full-stack web application that allows students to buy, sell, trade, or swap textbooks.
It is powered by React, Flask, and MySQL and users can browse textbook categories, explore different transaction options, and engage in negotiation with the owner. Its core features include:
- Buy: Users can list textbooks for sale, specifying the price and condition.
- Sell: Browse listings based on criteria such as price, condition, and edition to find the right textbooks to purchase.
- Trade: Swap textbooks one-to-one without considering value; owners list books they're willing to exchange.
- Swap: Trade textbooks for items of varying value, allowing for flexible offers and trades.
This project is driven by the recognition that students often utilize textbooks for a single course and seldom revisit them. The platform offers a practical solution, allowing them to acquire new textbooks for different classes, sell surplus ones for financial benefit, and engage in trades or swaps to obtain materials more relevant to their academic needs.
