Buying & selling at Ball State University

Campus details for Ball State students.

Muncie is a small enough town that everything worth buying or selling is already within a few blocks of campus — which makes handing something off to another student genuinely easy here.

Every account is verified with a Ball State email, so you're always dealing with another Cardinal. No shipping labels, no meeting strangers across town, no wondering whether the person on the other end is real.

Textbooks at the end of a semester, a futon someone's leaving behind, a mini fridge, a bike, concert tickets — if it changes hands on campus, it belongs here.

Help & FAQ

Common questions from Ball State students.

Is this only for Ball State students?

Each campus is its own marketplace. You'll only see listings from people who verified with a @bsu.edu address, and they'll only see yours.

Does it cost anything?

No. Listing and browsing are free, and we don't take a cut — you handle payment directly with the other student, however you both prefer.

Where should I meet to hand something off?

Somewhere public and central. The L.A. Pittenger Student Center and Bracken Library are the easiest — busy, well-lit, and everyone knows where they are.

What if nobody's selling what I need?

Post it on the Looking For board. Other Ball State students can see what's in demand, and you'll get notified when someone lists a match.
