Buying & selling at Purdue University
Campus details for Purdue students.
With 52,000 students in West Lafayette, somebody is always selling the exact textbook or desk chair you need. The hard part has always been finding them without scrolling a Facebook group full of alumni and bots.
Every account here is verified with a Purdue email, so you're always dealing with another Boilermaker. No shipping labels, no meeting strangers off campus.
Textbooks at the end of a semester, a futon leaving Cary, a mini fridge, a graphing calculator, a bike, tickets — if it changes hands on campus, it belongs here.

Help & FAQ
Common questions from Purdue students.
Is this only for Purdue students?
Each campus is its own marketplace. You'll only see listings from people who verified with a Purdue email 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. Purdue Memorial Union and Wilmeth Active Learning Center 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 Purdue students can see what's in demand, and you'll get notified when someone lists a match.
