Buying & selling at University of Missouri

Campus details for University of Missouri students.

College Marketplace is the student-only buy and sell app for the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Every account is verified with a @missouri.edu email address, so you're only ever trading with other Tigers — not strangers from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Where Tigers buy and sell

Mizzou groups its halls into neighborhoods. Whether you're in Southwest Village at Bluford, Brooks, Center, North, or South, in College Crossing at Gateway, Gillett, Hatch, Hudson, Schurz, Discovery, Excellence, Respect, or Responsibility, in Truman Central at Hawthorn, Galena, Dogwood, Defoe-Graham, Johnston, or Wolpers, or over in Park View at Mark Twain, McDavid, Mizzou on Rollins, or Mizzou at U Centre, Everything you need is already on campus. Mizzou students post mini fridges, futons, storage bins, desk lamps, monitors, bikes, and gently used textbooks every semester — usually for a fraction of retail. Students living off campus use it too. Same rule applies: verified students only, and the person on the other end is someone you'd pass on the way to class.

Meeting up on campus

Handoffs happen at landmarks everybody already knows. Memorial Union, the Student Center, Ellis Library, and the MizzouRec Complex are all easy meeting points between classes. No shipping labels, no delivery fees, no driving across town to meet someone off Craigslist.

Textbooks without the bookstore markup

Course materials run into the hundreds of dollars a semester, and the same editions circulate through campus year after year. Buying from the Mizzou student who took the class last term beats the bookstore buyback spread on both ends — the seller gets more than the buyback price, and the buyer pays less than retail.

The weeks that matter most

Move-in in August and move-out in May are when the marketplace is busiest. Graduating seniors and students heading home for the summer are clearing out furniture, fridges, and storage all at once, and incoming students need all of it. If you're selling, post before the rush. If you're buying, that's when the good stuff appears and disappears the same day.

Popular categories at Mizzou: textbooks and course materials · dorm and apartment furniture · mini fridges and microwaves · bikes and scooters · Mizzou apparel and game day gear · electronics and monitors · event tickets · lofting kits and bed risers · storage bins and organizers

Help & FAQ

Common questions from University of Missouri students.

Who can use College Marketplace at University of Missouri?

Only students with a verified @missouri.edu email address. Every listing you see was posted by another University of Missouri student, and your listings are only visible to the University of Missouri community.

Is it free to buy and sell at University of Missouri?

Yes. Buying, selling, and messaging are completely free. The only optional cost is a featured listing boost, which puts your item at the top of the University of Missouri feed for $2.99 for 7 days.

How do I pay the other student?

You arrange payment directly with each other — cash, Venmo, Zelle, whatever you both agree on. No money runs through the app, and there are no transaction fees.

Where should I meet to buy or sell on University of Missouri's campus?

Stick to busy, well-lit public spots. Popular Mizzou handoff points are Memorial Union, the Student Center, Ellis Library, and the MizzouRec Complex. Housing splits into neighborhoods, so agree on a specific building before you head over. Meet during daylight hours.
